Listen to the PhoneMessage from the CF CEO.

Well, all I can say is that I have really enjoyed working at CF for the last 15 years. My family has never once heard me complain. I worked as hard and as diligently as I possibly could. That job was literally an answer to prayer. Upon leaving New Jersey in 1986 I had decided to go blue-collar and let the teamsters union worry about my job security. It was a great plan, the Lord blessed me with success. Now He has other plans for me. I am so excited to see what He has in store for me. I will keep you-all informed. --BillScarver
