Father in Heaven we ask you to touch Phil and Sandy's finances you own a thousand cattle on a hill. We ask that you undertake in the situation with Gretchen We thank you for you are going to do and are doing right now. In your precious name we pray Amen -- Can you imagine what a scarcity of news there would be If everybody obeyed > the Ten Commandments? I would rather live my life as if there is a God, and die to find out there isn't, than live my life as if there isn't, and die to find out there is IN GOD WE TRUST Karen Carter '74 -KC- Ministries -------------- Original message -------------- From: Phil Scovell <[log in to unmask]> > Sandy and I are once again considering making Gretchen move out. Her lying, > along with her life style, is becoming a problem again. She has had three > bad drug tests so they have put her back into a drug rehab program which are > just classes she has to attend each week. Plus she has to pay for the > classes. Recently, Sandy and I were going to go out to eat with John and > Vicki. My youngest son had given us a 40 dollar gift certificate so we all > were going to go to a particular restaurant. I knew exactly were the gift > card was but when we found it, the little plastic credit card was gone from > the gift card. I took everything out of the drawer and my grandson even > helped. It was not in the drawer. My son, when he gave it to me, saw me > put it into that drawer, too, so it appears it was taken. These sorts of > things happen all the time when Gretchen is around. The problem of asking > Gretchen to move is that we will lose her 500 dollars a month rent. I had a > talk with Gretchen a week ago but it hasn't changed anything. So, I am > going to talk to her again this weekend but I am not looking forward to it. > Gretchen is also living, off and on, with a non Christian guy she used to do > drugs with but she claims he is clean now. Sure and a chicken has lips, > too, as my mother in law used to say. Since we still have legal > guardianship of our 10 year old grandson, Gretchen's oldest boy, I refuse to > allow him to go to this guys apartment. Gretchen was told this. Thursday > night, she told me she was taking the boys to a nearby park. Two hours > later, we found out Gretchen was at her boyfriend's apartment with her two > boys and we made her bring Everett home. I talked to her yesterday about it > and she lied and said I never told her she couldn't take him to Mike's. I > am totally wore out from her lies. She claims she has now been clean for 5 > to 6 weeks. That's great, if it is true, and it might be because they test > her at the drug classes each week. Regardless, I am beginning to wonder if > some of our financial problems aren't literally because darkness is trying > to live in my house of light. So your prayers that we do what's right about > all this will be appreciated. > > Phil. > > > Has He Ever Crossed Your Mind? > www.SafePlaceFellowship.com >
