This is one of those difficult times at CorSpecOps. We do not enjoy making these types of announcements. John H. Paskewicz, a 20+ year Senior Correction Officer passed away earlier this week of a sudden heart attack. Our heartfelt sympathies go out to to the facility and his son who is an active member of the CERT team still, as well as the men and women who served with John.

Created to Do “Worthship”
26 And God said, Let us make man in our image, after our likeness: and let them have dominion over the fish of the sea, and over the fowl of the air, and over the cattle, and over all the earth, and over every creeping thing that creepeth upon the earth. 27 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them.

Chappy Word of The Week – 08.16.09
When you delight it, decide it, then declare it, you can accomplish it. When you see it, speak it then stand on it, you can acquire it. Because when you vision it, voice it and become mentally victorious in it, your ambitions, aspirations and your amazing attitude will attract the audience and adoration of the Almighty. You will then have abundant access to the ability, the affection and the awesomeness of God. You see, If you build an altar, God will appear.
So stop being afraid and anxious and take some anointed aggressive action today. Speak Up, Stand up, Show up, Get Up!!!!!
