Kathy,

I pray that things get sorted out. If Chris is in the right, I pray that be 
shown and that the guilty are dealt with.  If he's in the wrong, I pray 
wisdom for you and the authorities in dealing with that as well.

>Hi Guys,
>	Well, after giving a pretty good report of how things went Friday, it 
>would seem that, possibily, the roller coaster is going again.  Last night, 
>we were awakened in the middle of the night by a phone call from the girl 
>friend of Chris's roommate.  Her name is Sam.  She was really upset.  
>Evidently, Chris packed up and moved out yesterday and moved to a friend's 
>house and in the process of moving, took her computer.  Then, she said that 
>she got the computer back, but the hard drive was missing.  Then she called 
>back to say that Chris had come back in the middle of the night and punched 
>her boy friend in the face.  We don't know what to think.  We have no way 
>of getting hold of Chris.  We have no clue how this girl got our phone 
>number.  We don't know who is telling the truth.  Chris had told us on 
>Friday that she was calling around, spreading a lot of lies about him 
>stealing, but she claimed last night that she wasn't the one who was doing 
>it and that the actual culprit is the guy that Chris moved in with.  I have 
>a feeling that everybody is lying and we hadn't planned on getting into the 
>middle of any of this, but, here we are.  This girl, Sam, claims to have 
>gotten the police involved and if Chris is guilty of assault and battery, 
>as an adult, he may have just kissed is plans for the military goodbye.    
>She also let us know that Chris was indeed fired from his job on Saturday, 
>but if that is because of the lies she told, or the truth that Chris really 
>was stealing, we just don't know.
>	I don't know what to think.  The phone call was jarring, to be awakened 
>from a deep sleep, to say the least.  We got up and locked our doors and 
>just prayed.  I just pray that, somehow, the truth will get sifted out of 
>all the mess and that the right people are punished.  If that's Chris, 
>then, I'm sorry, but we won't rescue him from his own foolishness.  That's 
>a hard thing to say as a parent, but in Proverbs it says, "Discipline your 
>son, for in that there is hope; do not be a willing party to his death.  A 
>hot tempered man must pay the penalty; if you rescue him, you will have to 
>do it again."  Proverbs 19:18-19  The best thing that Chris could do is 
>turn to Jesus.
