Do you know what happened earlier?  I called my sister to ask her to listen 
to the Blind Boys of Alabama Christmas concert on npr.  I didn't tell her 
this latest concerning Malcolm because I am too ashamed to add more bad news 
to what she has already heard.  She told me her mother-in-law got a new 
radio for Christmas and soon she will send me her old one.  It is just a 
cheap table model. but I will still have a radio till I  can get a better 
one, or he moves out first whichever.  Smile.

  Angel, dear sister,

  I am praying for you both in all this.  Remember, your son makes his own 
decisions and you can only have shown him the way.  He has to take it!  Do 
not take this false guilt upon yourself because it will weigh heavy and 
Satan would love this.

  I am so sorry to hear about the radio.  Your attitude is wonderful though 
and I pray God will somehow replace it for you, or givef you something far 
better, whatever that turns out to be.

  In His love:


  --
  Carol

    I am sorry to bother you, but I have a request.  Last year I was rather 
foolish.  it was at this time when I decided to purchase a bose acoustic 
wave system.  These radios are extremely sturdy , strong and sound. So good 
for a radio it's size it is amazing to hear.  The model I got could also 
play mp3 cd's for which I was grateful when my computer was down for a time. 
This was the only radio I had as my son stole and sold all the cheaper ones 
I had along with the small cheap televisions.  We shared the radio as it was 
the only one I had.  The upshot is he either stole it, or as he said, left 
the back door unlocked and one of his unsavory acquaintances took it. 
Either way, I haven't it any longer.  I had just finished paying for it.  I 
purchased it when Russell was alive and I had more disposable cash than have 
I now.  I suppose I could by another, but I have other things I could be 
purchasing.  It hurts to think my son allowed it to be taken.  As I pondered 
this, I thought how selfish and spoiled I was.  After all, all we have on 
earth will be gone from us when we leave this world.  There are those who 
will never see another physical sunrise, and I am grieving over the loss of 
an earthly treasure.  How foolish can I be.  Please pray my priorities can 
be more properly aligned.  Also please pray my son learns somehow to be a 
person with better character.  If he fails to become such I will have failed 
as a parent and that will be the worst thing which can happen.  After all, 
it is God who gives us these precious children, and he provides some way for 
their salvage else he wouldn't have given them to us in the first place. 
So, I suppose, it is that you should pray for most of all.
