Prayer for my son
He just turned 40. He is in jail on cocaine charges.
I am not going to bail him out, he has to learn sometime. Pray for me too as I am so physically ill from this, can't quit shaking. Thanks, Donna

I'm so sorry that you're dealing with this Donna. It's so hard to see loved ones ruin their lives with drugs. It sounds like you've tried to help him in the past and I think that sometimes you have to let them face the consequences of their actions. It's very hard to do but hopefully it will be a wake up call. I'm saying a prayer for you and your son right this minute. Hugs!!

Donna, I am so sorry you are so shaken by this. Drugs can do so much damage and I think you're absolutely right by not bailing him out. Let him sit and think if it's really worth it. Is there anyway he would enter a rehab program?
I will keep you and your son in my prayers.

Thank you Diana.
You to Janet. My oldest son has been clean for 5 years, he is very active in N/A. He has tried to help Troy before but he didn't stick with it. He tried to call me this morning, it was collect of course and I was not home. That is how I found out he was in jail. If he does call, I will tell him that I can't bail him out and the only thing I CAN do is pray and find a Bible in the jail and start reading.

I just pulled him up and his mug shots make me sick, he does not even look like my son.
I just called the jail and he is still there and they are taking care of his insulin. Oh God, I have been going through this for 25 years,
