Vinny,
In quick answer to your questions:  Matt got fired from his job at 
camp last Sunday.  He wasn't working fast enough, I guess.  He was 
released on Monday and called Greg to let us know what happened, but 
we haven't heard from him since.  We have no idea where he is or what 
he is doing.

Chris was kicked out of the Life Program on Thursday.  I guess that 
they found a  bong in his apartment, along with some questionable art 
on his walls.  He came by, dropped off everything he owns, including 
his dirty laundry and we haven't heard from him since 
last  Thursday.  Since his laundry stank, I washed it and took the 
liberty of going through his pockets, but all I found was a 
lighter.  He still swears that he gave up smoking, but lighters can 
be used for other things too.  He's also started hanging around one 
of his old pot head friends, so it doesn't look good.  He still has 
no job and he was supposed to take his G.E.D. on friday, but whether 
he did or not is anyone's guess.

The reason that I was asking for prayer for Liz was because she was 
supposed to fly down to Florida on Wednesday to attend a music 
camp.  Her flight was cancelled three times, but she did finally get 
there on thursday evening.

After church today, Greg took Caleb to the Children's Muzeum in down 
town Bangor.  Somebody has to have fun around here.

That's the news briefs, Vinny.  Believe me, you don't want the longer version.
Kathy
