> Those who get this before the time comes, pray for me as I talk with

> with Gretchen. sandy, my friend Keith, and my son Everett and I sat her
> down and had a discussion with her concerning her life. She agreed to
> several things if she were allowed to stay in our home, that is, to live
> here. Since her brother is her employer and knows what she makes each week,
> she was to give a financial accounting to him personal each pay check
> because her money is going elsewhere and she cannot account for it. Well,
> she doesn't want to account for it. She has never done this once although
> Everett has tried getting her to do so. she was also in agreement that she
> would not smoke cigarettes any more, or any other smokable substance for
> that matter, or she would be asked to leave. She was seen smoking recently.
> Although we all knew she was, it has not been confirmed by someone outside
> the family. She was also in agreement that she would either come to our
> church here at the house or she would find another church. She chose to
> come here and she has begun missing services. She agreed not to use drugs,
> which she had been doing, and she has, without a doubt, been using again.
> She also agreed to pray with me once each week. We all made certain she was
> in agreement with all the rules and Keith, my friend, asked her if she could
> abide by these rules. She said yes but she has reneged on each and every
> promise she made with us at that meeting. So I am going to talk to her
> privately tonight and see what she says. She may be kicked out again.
