We sure will be praying and let us know how it works out.

Phil.

Subject: A prayr request:


Please would you all pray for me.  Due to circumstances I will be forced to
tell my 18 year old son he will no longer be welcome in my home.  He has
stolen things from me and from my land lord who lives upstairs, or so my
land lord says.  I told him he could not live at home when my land lord told
me he would raise my rent by 100 dollars if he stayed.  I can not afford
this increase.  My land lord said my son could go to work and pay me the
extra 100 dollars and continue to live with me.  This was before my son
tried to break in to my house.  I suspect he broke in before he was caught
last week.  My land lord said my son took an expensive video camera, and,
when he was working on my house he said he found it on my son's dresser.  My
son was put in jail last Saturday because I filed criminal trespass charges
against him.  I just couldn't allow him to walk away after my land lord
caught him trying to break in to my house.  Now, my land lord won't let him
remain or come back to the house at all.  He will be released
Monday.  I am visiting him Sunday, and must tell him this.  I am very
depressed because I will find it difficult to do this.  He can go to a
homeless shelter and avail himself of all sorts of programs.  He can even
get his GED if he wants.  If he does this he could stay 6 months.  If he
enrolls in a bible study program he can stay 15 months I am told.  Space is
limited and I was told there were 8 beds 3 weeks ago.  I was told last week
there were only 2 beds.  Now winter is upon us there will surely be fewer
beds available.  I am so upset because I am constantly worried over where he
will sleep and how he will live.  He steals from me, and I do deserve, as
does my land lord who is no relation to either of us to live in a safe
environment.  He has friends whose parents keep them and they are past 18,
so, he feels I ought to as well I suppose.  Please pray for us both.  I must
tell him he can not return to the house.  I only hope he will go to this
shelter and will find a place.  His character is so shallow.  I keep asking
myself what I did wrong and I can't find where I failed.  He blames everyone
else but himself for his circumstances.  I have tried enrolling him in all
sorts of programs to enable him to get his GED but he has dropped out of
them all.  He has no job.  Please ppray.
