After church today, I waited in my office for Gretchen to come
home.  She wouldn't come to be with us today for church.  When she
came in, I told her I needed to talk with her.  She came up later
and we talked for over an hour.  We talked about a lot of things.
I pointed some things out related to her life that are not true
but which she believes because she has been deceived into
believing those things are true.  I offered a number of examples
of my own personal experiences relating to similar beliefs I had
about myself.  I explained to her that I wasn't asking her to give
up anything; only to pray.  However, I also pointed out that if
she is caught using drugs with this random drug testing they are
doing, she will have several years in prison to ask herself why
she didn't take me up on my offer.  I also pointed out that the
drug testing, if she were caught, was out of my hands and she
would have no one to blame but herself.  I could explain a great
deal more but there was some type of break through.  Will find out
how long it lasts by tomorrow at noon because she asked if she
could come home on her lunch break for prayer sessions.  When we
have tried them at night, it hasn't worked because of the kids
being here, too.  So Monday at noon is when we start.

Phil.
