I'm at my SILs house. We had a turkey dinner last night. She told me today her brother (wifes bro) died last night.<P>He was in the hospital a few weeks ago with psorosis (sp?) of the liver & a few other things. He got out after a week & was readmitted on Tuesday.<P>Their brother is flying in from Japan to help his wife get things straightened out. She's from the Phillipines and has a pretty difficult time in the states.<P>He was a great guy that had a lot of bad cards dealt to him in his life. He is definitely in a better place now.<P>My Wife hasn't called me about it. I'll give my MIL/FIL a call later today.<P>------------------<BR>Prayers & God Bless!<BR>Chris<BR>For relationship info check out <A HREF="http://www.pcisys.net/~chriscal1/resources.html" TARGET=_blank>Marriage & Relationship Resources</A>

Dear Heavenly Father,<P>You promise to send a comforter to those that grieve. I pray that the Holy Spirit is present with this family, and with Chris's wife, especially. Lord, I know she is very confused and that confusion doesn't come from you. Lord, please put your arms around her and comfort her, and let her know that you still love her. <P>Lord, I also pray for Chris. Give him words to speak that are from you. I also pray for this marriage once again. I lift it to you, Lord, and I pray that you would restore it to your glory. <P>Lord, you say that ALL things work together for good, for those that are called according to your purposes. Lord, Chris is called. I thank you right now for the good that will come of this situation. Knit together a good outcome, and for this I give you the Glory. <P>Thank you for your purposes. It is hard to see your purposes from this end of the world, Lord. But Lord, I pray for extra faith for Chris, that he can hang on to your promises and see the light at the end of the tunnel. <P>In Jesus Holy Name I pray,<BR>AMEN

Thanks all (& you tnt),<P>We're off tomorrow to SF. My SIL talked to my Wife yesterday & she said she probably wouldn't go. I have arranged for friends to watch the kids.<P>I had to tell my oldest that if Mom shows up (at anytime) to call me IMMEDIATELY! Also that she was not to go with her (as in jumping on an airplane). She said she knows & she wouldn't want to anyway. We talked for a few & I told her it ws very hard to have to discuss this wiht her but I felt it was necessary because I didn't know what Mom may do. She knows what th escore is.<P>I did tell her I don't want to have to worry about it until (if) a divorce happens, but we arent talking divorce yet and since she is 14, a judge would probably take her wishes into account if it comes to custody.<P>Bummer.
