MAKING THE GODMOTHER A JOB OFFER SHE COULDN'T REFUSE

Here’s another anecdote from The Imogene Hub:

A woman from Shenandoah, Iowa, moved to a nearby big city and started job hunting. She had been a medical secretary for 22 years, so she started her job search at a hospital. She passed the initial hurdles, and was sent to see a high-ranking official on the fifth floor for the final interview.

Knees shaking, she shook hands with the big shot, who said that she had been born in Shenandoah. The woman asked who her parents were . . . and then her jaw dropped.

“My God!” she exclaimed, “I’m your godmother!”

Turns out that, when the woman was a teenager, she used to babysit for the executive’s older siblings. The father was out on the road, trucking, when the mother went into labor. So she called her teen sitter to take her to the hospital. When the baby was born, they asked her to be the godmother.

Needless to say, she got the job. If that’s nepotism, I’d say it’s not allllll bad.

Prayer request: A 51-year-old husband and father who was the subject of a June 24 prayer request has died after a stroke, a staph infection and a coma. His wife and two children were blessed by the miracle of his awakening from the coma before he died, but his body had just been through too much. We lift his survivors up to You for comfort and sustenance, Lord. Help them cleave into You and feel no fear. (Proverbs 1:33)
