Thank you Jesus Continue to keep the family in your arms In Jesus name Amen -- Christ is either Lord of all or he is not Lord at all. Karen Carter '74 > Hi guys, > Thanks for praying. This morning, as we walked into the court building, > we were met by a man who introduced himself as chris's lawyer. He had not > met Chris yet and, we weren't sure how much we should talk to him, but, oh > well. Chris was advised, and we agreed, to plead, "no answer," to the five > charges brought up against him at this time. He was released to us on what > is called, "conditional release," which means, he skrews up and he goes > right back to jail. He is with Greg right now, getting situated back at > school. The first thing that he had to do when he got home was dismantle > and pack away a decorative sword display that he had down in his room > because he is not allowed to be in possession of any form of weapon. He > will be going back to court on July 12 to answer to the charges, which, by > the way, we are not dropping. Right now, he is to be watched very > carefully, while he begins counselling, or therapy, and the lawyer has a > chance to work with him on his case. > I don't know how I feel yet. To be truthful, the rest of us in the > family > had a talk this morning about the possibility of chris coming home and > nobody was excited about it, not even Caleb. The only one really happy > about chris's release, at present, I believe, is Chris. > One interesting thing: the first place that Chris wanted to go before > he > came home was to the church. He walked down to the front pew and sat > down. greg and I joined him, but noone said anything out loud, so I have > no clue what he was thinking, or praying. None of us are real sure of > ourselves right now. > That's the latest from Maine! > Kathy
