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.
