Transcript of email sent December 31, 2022

Greetings,

This is a favor request.  I am in an over decade long effort to reconcile a family and other relationships.  I ask that you simply hit “Reply All” to this email and send it to my family.  Feel free to add whatever comment you would like, or none at all.

The reason I am asking for this is that I am blocked in my effort to communicate with my wife and kids.  Perhaps communications from you is not.

What is attached is a 4 minute video that is a clip from a 45 minute video that is my daily voicemail to my kids.  It is a request to my son George to join me on December 8, 2023, my wife’s birthday, on a hike to the top of Big Frog Mountain, where if in the Lord’s grace it happens, I will do my 1 millionth jumping jack.  Consider the tenacity it takes to achieve that kind of goal.  Apply that to the tenacity to reconcile a family and other relationships.  See Matthew 5:24.

The full video is at: http://Kozlowski.org/Promise-2022-12-30.  You might notice that it is call attempt #1,607.  This again shows tenacity.  You might also be familiar with the expression “rules for thee and not for me.” This is what you see happening as man’s law states that I am to be allowed multiple weekly calls to my kids.  I have been denied that for 2,313 days or over 6 years.

Please also feel free to look at the Promise site: http://Kozlowski.org/Promise.  There you will find images of the approximately 500 postcards that have been sent to various people.  You can also see that, again in violation of man’s law, about 100 of those sent to my kids have been returned “refused – return to sender”.  I repeat “rules for thee and not for me.”

My voicemails are now on video and often include serious in depth theology, often a lot more than Sunday morning fluff. It is my effort to teach my kids in obedience to Deuteronomy 6.  It is public and often viewed by many others outside of my family.  Please feel invited.  The older voicemails are still at: http://Family.Kozlowski.org.

There is also a series of 9 videos that gives an introduction to this at: http://kozlowski.org/Promise,Intro.  Feel free to view them, share them and directly engage me on them.  For most, the summary will probably be an uncomfortable challenge as to what it is to be obedient to Christ.  Then if you want to see my continued effort in ministry consider: “Ideas being toyed around with” http://ShofarNexus.com/Toy.

If you review the site you will also notice that I have been specifically attempting to reconcile with three gentlemen who remain in my daily prayers: Jim Cross (my father-in-law), Render Caines, and Chris Bitterman (who sent the Cleveland Police to intimidate me).  My wholehearted desire to reconcile remains.  Lord willing with at least one it will transpire.

Please feel free to share this with others.  If desired, forward it to a third party or an email account that does not identify you before replying.  The objective is not to embarrass, but to reconcile.

I hope you will find it is in keeping with the Galatians 2 and 2nd Peter 3 example that I use frequently.  The apostle Paul was public in pointed out that Peter’s “conduct was not in step with the truth of the gospel”, to which Peter some years later writes “our beloved brother Paul”.  This is my model and desire.  This email is also public at: http://Kozlowski.org/Promise-2022-12-30,George.

My plan is to report on the response to this in the anticipated voicemail on Monday.

Love endures and does not abandon (1Co13:7-8).  Why have I been abandoned?

Please do the reply-all to support my effort to reconcile as an act of love.

Respectfully,

John Kozlowski
