> Your continued prayers for Gretchen, and these other drug addicts, would

> probably 20 people she knows all have said, "You pray with your dad and if
> it is something that will work for you, then we want him to work with us,
> too."  Gretchen cried like a baby Sunday afternoon and told me about some
> of
> these people and how they have used drugs, given up drugs, and used drugs,
> and given up drugs, for many years, one lady for 23 years, she said, and
> yet, after even Christian drug treatment programs, they can't get free.
> Yes, I know why this is the case but I'll leave that for another message.
> For now, your prayers, even for Sandy and I, would be appreciated.
