Subject: dinner with Christopher
> Well Guys,
> We had Chris over for dinner again last night. It was our last chance to
> have the whole family together for a while, with Matt leaving for Michigan
> on Monday morning. Everything was very peaceful, but Chris's life still
> has a lot of turmoil in it. He will be moving out of his current living
> situation on Monday to another place where, hopefully, he will be living
> by himself. He's still in the Life program so many of his living expenses
> are still covered.
> The roommate that he had been with, along with the roommate's girl friend,
> baby and cat, just ended up being a really messy situation. In fact, this
> roommate was supposed to be evicted for violating the program's conditions
> back on May 15, but evidently, the program doesn't have much teeth,
> because nothing has changed. The girlfriend has accused Chris of stealing
> and has even called his place of work, to accuse him of stealing movies
> and so forth from the store. I don't know what the truth is. I'm not
> foolish enough to think that my dear sweet Christopher is totally innocent
> in all things. I'd like to believe that, but I know better.
> Before Chris went home last night, he came into my bedroom to say goodbye.
> I took his hand and asked him if I could pray with him. He consented. I
> prayed for God's blessing and for truth. That's the best I can do. If
> Chris is innocent, then I pray that the lies will bounce off and return to
> the sender. If he really is stealing, then I pray that God will deal with
> him accordingly to bring about repentance and the righteousness in Chris
> that God desires to see.
> Chris also went down stairs last night to make a special effort to say
> goodbye to Matt. There's another relationship that really needs some
> healing. Matt put up with a lot while he and Chris roomed together in our
> old moble home and Matt isn't usually too anxious to see Chris when he
> comes over. I know that Matt is a bit nervous about this job out in
> Michigan. It's only a summer job. After that, he has no clue if he will
> come back to Maine or try to stay out there. I know that this is all part
> of growing up. I'm doing my best to keep my mouth shut, unless asked, or
> ask if I can offer advice before just blurting it out. It's hard to be
> more grown up and see answers, yet respect the fact that my adult children
> need to learn from their own mistakes, as I did.
> Please pray for Matt as he heads out this Monday. We are praying that his
> relationship with the Lord will really grow this summer. Please pray for
> Chris as well, that truth will out and that God's justice will be
> satisfied.

> Thanks bunches,
