Praise God for His work in Chris so far.  Praying that Chris continues 
doing what he needs to do and that he learns to trust God.

Subject: Chris is off the Streets


> Well, Chris is off the streets and beginning again.  He is keeping
> his nose clean, for now anyway.  His court appearance was on August
> 20.  He ended up having to pay a fine of $250 for the supposed theft
> of the computer, but all the other charges were dropped.  He has
> worked it out with the court to pay $50 a week until the debt is
> paid.  He has been working full time At Burger King since around
> August 4 and he, just today, put $200 down on a one room efficiency
> apartment in Bangor.  He's been sleeping on the streets since my last
> post when he spent the night at our house.  Some one from the
> airforce, a Sargeant Peebles, called the other day and I put him in
> touch with Chris.  Now, it's all up to Chris.  He needs to produce
> his court records and complete taking his G.E.D. test, but, I still
> think that he could go into the Airforce, if he can stay out of
> trouble.  When he talks now, he often expresses regret over his past
> and the records that he has created.  Greg just brought him home to
> get the rest of his stuff and Greg and Caleb are helping him to move
> into his room.  I brought out his bible and I asked him if he would
> like to have it.  He said "yes," and took it.  At least for today,
> Chris took one step forward.  I just pray that two steps back won't
> be coming soon, but one never knows.  The sad thing is that Chris has
> told me that he has learned one lesson very well and that is that, in
> his opinion, "you can't trust other people."  I pray that he will
> learn Who he can trust completely, soon.
