[Guest guest]

Thank you for your feedback. I, like you, don't know what is behind

their denying some and approving others first time around, maybe they

have a lottery type thing going on..We'll approve the next 3

applications and deny the following 12, OK, everybody go to it!

Yes, I appreciate your prayers. I'm sure we all appreciate and need some

prayers, THANK YOU!
