|  This is my brother Jerry and I. He is a chronic alcoholic. I lost my brother, Charlie, at age 47 of this same awful addiction. I was very sad because the alcohol robbed me of knowing my brother for who he really was....I never knew him. The person I knew, I hated! My brother Jerry is 53 years old on Nov. 3rd and still alive. However, barely. A couple weeks ago he was lying in his bed for going on 3 weeks with a fifth at his side seeing people who were not there. This is the late stages of alcoholism. He is a wonderful person but the alcohol has taken over, but God is still in control and he does hear the prayers of his people! Just a week ago my brother Jerry committed himself after a family meeting where my brothers and sister and I came together and told Jerry of our love for him and that we were there to take him to the hospital to committ himself into the rehab program. As I held him in my arms, he looked around at all of us, and asked...."Am I really that bad?" We all said, "yes, you are, we love you and we want you to change this, we can take you, but you have to make the decision that you want to change... He said..........."Ok, I will.......................then we drove him to the VA hospital downtown and he was going to sign himself in, then they said, sorry you will have to come back tomorrow, because we do not have any beds. I said..........ahhhhhhhhhhhhhh noooooooooooooo, we haven't come this far to go back home. Somehow someway they decided to go ahead and do the blood work and they found physical cause to keep him. They said if they could not find physical cause than he would have to go. Well....he is still there, and in the program and doing well. However, he is waiting to be moved to the more intense program and is getting impatient. He is contemplating leaving and finishing the rest of the program on his own. Please pray that a bed opens up for him soon in this other program so he can finish it. PTL! | | |
|    You know during this last couple months that our house has been on the market and we have been travelling back and forth to our new church in Vandalia, I have had doubts......wondering....Is this really what the Lord God is calling our family to do...Is this right? Hmmmm....well our house hasn't sold so shouldn't that be a sign that we aren't meant to go? I've had thoughts of how are we going to buy Christmas presents for the kids? What happens if someone gets sick, we have no insurance? But, boy was I shocked when a couple things happened recently...a gracious woman blessed us financially....right after that, only 2 days later, our vehicle broke down and cost to fix was estimated at $1000.00, my son ran out of his asthma medicine (one of the 4), cost was $123.
Because of this gracious gift, we were able to take care of this without a problem. As I was reflecting on this, tears came to my eyes at how wonderfully blessed we were to have received this gift. Another blessing we received was this realestate agent who I called, a friend of a friend. He spoke to me for over an hour and talked through the whole thing that is going on with the housing market right now, and gave me suggestions on how to move forward. He said that he truly did not think switching over to a full service agent would make a difference right now. He also came over and went through the house and gave suggestions on what we could do to improve on the appearance. Not really a whole lot, but he didn't charge a thing. I am grateful to God for sending him to help us. As a result, we have decided to keep the house listed with the current company just changing up the house and the offer a bit. We'll see what happens. I know you are probably thinking why not switch over to this new agent that offered all this help, but that would require new signs, new flyers, new supra, etc...and he was not expecting me to do that, he simply wanted to help me. However, we still may switch over to him if we don't get any results from this new offer in the next couple weeks. Well enough for now......God Bless | | |
| A good friend of ours named Angela always says...Marce, God works in mysterious ways. A single women of six children, who has struggled all of her life says this. You know what, I think she is right. | | |
