John Rodgers two cents:
Having had your vanagon epiphany at church, this story is for you.

The Frog
******
I was told a story about a lady in the hospital who was near death
when an area Chaplain came to visit her.  This Chaplain was a very young female
with long blond hair.  She listened to the lady who was ill and left her a small
gift for comfort.  It was a tiny ceramic frog.

The next day one of the people from the lady's church came to visit.
The lady told her friend about the beautiful young Chaplain who had come to
visit her. The friend was  impressed with the way the lady had improved and felt
the need to talk to the young Chaplain.

In her search to find the young woman, she was repeatedly reassured that the
chaplains are never very young and that there was never a young woman chaplain
that fit the description given.

Upon returning to the lady in the hospital, a visiting nurse entered
the room and noticed the ceramic frog.  The nurse made the comment "I see you
have a guardian angel with you" as she held the little frog.

We asked why she made the comment and we were informed that the frog stood for
(F)Fully   (R)Rely   (O)On   (G)God.
