Hi Jackie and Everyone,

Thanks so much to all of you for your great comments and prayers 
regarding this situation.

I'm going to put a list of reasons why I need an iPhone in a document 
for Vernon, and Jackie your list of apps will be in that list.

If anyone has any other things I should tell him, please send them to me.

I could have just gone ahead and ordered it, but he told me I would 
be in big trouble if I did that.

I try to work hard and earn money through the business, and I was so 
mad yesterday, I told him I was going to get an outside job.

Please pray about this controlling issue that has really been bad since 2008.


Thanks much.

Many Blessings,

Pat Ferguson
