Those who get this before the time comes, pray for me as I talk with
Gretchen.  I believe I mentioned that a couple of months ago we had a talk
with Gretchen.  sandy, my friend Keith, and my son Everett and I sat her
down and had a discussion with her concerning her life.  She agreed to
several things if she were allowed to stay in our home, that is, to live
here.  Since her brother is her employer and knows what she makes each week,
she was to give a financial accounting to him personal each pay check
because her money is going elsewhere and she cannot account for it.  Well,
she doesn't want to account for it.  She has never done this once although
Everett has tried getting her to do so.  she was also in agreement that she
would not smoke cigarettes any more, or any other smokable substance for
that matter, or she would be asked to leave.  She was seen smoking recently.
Although we all knew she was, it has not been confirmed by someone outside
the family.  She was also in agreement that she would either come to our
church here at the house or she would find another church.  She chose to
come here and she has begun missing services.  She agreed not to use drugs,
which she had been doing, and she has, without a doubt, been using again.
She also agreed to pray with me once each week.  We all made certain she was
in agreement with all the rules and Keith, my friend, asked her if she could
abide by these rules.  She said yes but she has reneged on each and every
promise she made with us at that meeting.  So I am going to talk to her
privately tonight and see what she says.  She may be kicked out again.

Phil.
