Here's a little bit of an update on my family friend Debbie. She's a 50-year-old woman who was facing sentencing on a DUI charge. She and her husband also have a business that's not doing too well (her husband lacks stick-to-itiveness), a son with the USMC in Afghanistan and another son who's misbehaving. From what we hear, she was sentenced to 6 months in jail for the DUI, but she was appearing in court either today or tomorrow to request that the sentence be suspended and probation be ordered - we're waiting to hear results of that hearing (she's several hundred miles away).
I printed your prayer for Debbie, LM, for my mother to read. She was so moved, she gave it to another friend of Debbie's, who said it was exactly on point. That friend sent it to Debbie, who said she carries it with her. We're still hoping this will bring Debbie to a point of surrender, as she's never felt any need for God except when things weren't going quite her way.
