[Faith-talk] pray for my brother and family

[Debby Phillips]

I thought there were reasons for your wisdom and compassion. It took guts for you to share what you did on list. Thank you and God bless.   Debby

I am sorry that your circumstances are so hard for you to deal with right now. If you have any thoughts you want to run past me, I will give you my input, but other than that I will try to keep my opinion to myself when it comes to your issues, I don't want to offend you.

> I will tell you a little about me just so you know for future reference, I live in Alaska where travel for the blind is extremely difficult, I lost my sight at age 15, had 4 children by the time I was 21, I had became a well known drug dealer, went to federal prison for almost five years, found Jesus, was released 11 years ago, fought tooth and nails to help my wife get into treatment, have dealt with family addictions, a daughter who lived with her mom in Texas and became pregnant at age 13, which tore my heart up something terrible, on, and on the list of the bad stuff could go, but in between all of that heart break I had to put in a lot of work, take care of a family, pay off a home, attend school, learn about all this computer stuff and come to terms with the immature ill responsible boy I was for the first 22 years of my life and look at all that ugly that was inside of me and leave it at the Cross. That is my story, so what I tell you is out of compassion and love because I have been around the block a few times and I didn't get into the blood and guts of my life, just some points here and there that left some lumps on my head, thank God for His grace.
