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.
