[Magdalen] Auto prayer request.

[Lynn Ronkainen]

In my 40 years as a car owner I shy away from the dealerships when I know a 
dependable and well spoken of 'independent'....   I have been disappointed 
in the honesty of most of the dealerships I've worked with... and their 
system in the repair area with the way work is assigned, and to whom.

When I stand before God at the end of my life I would hope that I have not a 
single bit of talent left and could say, "I used everything You gave me."
