The Pink Rose has the Highest Frequency.

The beauty and fragrance of the rose is more then just divine. The rose also has a vibrational frequency that emits 320MHz, the height of any plant making the rose the closet tangible symbol of LOVE.

Chapter 2, Page 146, 147, Hostile Co-Worker Said, Lily's Thoughts, & Stefan Said

“Arch, there’s no need for impropriety in the workplace. Let me have the file.”

…..and thereafter, a cordial, but firm Strobeck informed the others, I was the one who was given the wrong information on the work order, and I was due an immediate apology by my accuser, which readily occured. But I had supposed it was obvious, I do believe his apology was due more so because of Strobeck’s authority, then an earnest sincerity to right any past wrong.

“…..I do apologize for the mix up, and ill-mannered approach to correct the matter in what should be a courteous and a professional working environment.”

 

"This whole encounter is one I just assume forget!"

I’d let Judy in on the know, and thereafter she proceeded to give me the scoop on Strobeck.

“So it was Stefan Strobeck who came to your rescue and put your accuser in his place. I am sure you’ve must have learned from Jared that Stefan works for the government, and yes, I’ve seen him around but up until now without much interest. But I’ve heard in passing he pretty much keeps to himself, and I also heard through the grapevine, he’s dated a few gals from the office here and there, but there really wasn’t much there to speak of. But tell me, was he really nice. I mean, he is such a good dresser and all. I was wondering if he’s as nice as he looks.”

Strictly speaking the truth, I was shocked even by my own answer.

“Let’s just say he acted like the perfect gentleman.”

We both simultaneously abruptly stopped in our tracks, in response to the long white flower box lying on top of my desk, and with this new development, I found myself speechless and unsure as to what to think.

“Well, there’s nothing weird about this, is there? It’s a beautiful edition of the King James Bible, and it looks to be ages old, even an antique. Lily something a collector would acquire, and you just don’t  see King James Bibles anymore, or anywhere….

“…..Strobeck works for the government, and he just doesn’t work for any branch of the government. He’s got a job no one wants to talk about or even want to acknowledge it even exists!.”

Author's Commentary

Common courteous and professionalism are ideal qualities to attain in the workplace. Yet on occasion an unfortunate incident is not uncommon to disrupt the pleasant working environment.

Lily the blameless damsel walks onto a scene of fellow coworkers in the suspenseful romantic novel “Lily Among Thorns,” and is suffered to come in contact with a brash arrogant lout who proceeds to reprimand without rationality and disregarded is all sense of decorum in the workplace.

Lily stunned into silence because stepping in to her defense is a thoughtful voice seeking to solve the quandary with efficiency and etiquette, to Lily’s disbelief it is none other than Stefan Strobeck. Lily’s emotions faithfully invested in the Holy Scriptures counts on the Lord to help her as it is written in Psalms 59:1, Deliver me from mine enemies, O my God: defend me from them that raise up against me.

Stefan’s forthrightness at present is not enough for Lily to disregard the malicious character she encountered of Stefan’s objectionable past.

"A sweet raspberry tea is scrumptious idea on a chilly day."

Author's Commentary

Stefan promptly conducts an impromptu informal inquiry which brings to light Lily is an innocent victim an apology is due her. Begrudgingly the accuser follows through at the request of his superior, Stefan

Pictured above is a technetronic city-scape surveillance grid implemented by the paranoid “Global Beast Cabal.”

Stefan’s days are primarily occupied cautiously fighting the “Good Fight of Faith,” as it is written in 1st Timothy 6:12, Fight the good fight of faith, lay hold on eternal life, where unto thou art also called, and hast professed a good profession before many witnesses.

A unwavering Soldier for Christ, Stefan does whatever is required to accomplish his goal by  “Redeeming the Time” as it is written in Ephesians 5:16, Redeeming the time, because the days are evil.

Yet come the days that follow Stefan allocates his time to compose a formal expression of regret for the I’ll-fated spectacle in the workplace. Lily although courteously accepts Stefan’s gifts. She is cautious as to the authenticity of his sincerity since Stefan is associated with the “Ghastly Global Cabal,” as it is written in Revelation 17:12, And the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings, which have received no kingdom as yet; but receive power as king one hour with the beast.

The sticky situation for Lily is the outward manifestation of Stefan’s chivalrous conduct in the present-day, which leaves Lily to ponder the authenticity of his redemptive presentation. Thus, Lily leaves all in God’s capable hands and concludes to trust in the Lord to reveal the truth in its own good time as it is written in Psalms 91:21, I will say of the LORD, He is my refuge and my fortress: my God; in him will I trust.

Judy replied, as the concerned friend I knew her to be, “That’s all well and good for Jared. But what about you? Who’s going to be looking out for you?”

My first thought was the promise of Jesus in Matthew 28:20, “I am with you always, even unto the end of the world.”

"I am So Blessed to call Judy my Friend."
