Update on my son...

First off thank you everyone for you prayer and kind thoughts. Of course we met in front of the judge today and he did not let him post bond. He was appointed a lawyer and has to be back in court Monday morning. My son called tonight for me to call his new lawyer and get him to the jail as soon as possible so that they can be ready for Monday in court. I did get to speak with my son after court for a brief moment this morning. He said he needed us to come see him Saturday. I told him I would try. I called my dad and told him so he called the jail that he is being held at and got an appt to go at 9:30 Saturday morning. Of course I have to be at work at 10 am so I asked a girl at work to switch shifts with me and she is going to work my 10-7 and I will work her 12-9 pm. I am sooo happy that I can go visit with him!!! I know he is a pain in the butt sometimes but I miss having the little fart around. The thing that I love the most about this whole thing is that when he calls me before he hangs up he says he loves me . He has never been the type to tell me that very often and now I am hearing it. It really does my heart good because I think he knows he is breaking my heart by doing all these things. Maybe after we get threw all these problems he is going to straighten up and become a better kid....I really do pray to God that it will be the case. Thanks again everyone and please keep the prayers coming....WE NEED THEM!!! Lisa S.

Lisa, I'm so sorry you're going through this. I can just imagin what you're going through. I know what a pain I was to my mom when I was growing up. She just about went bald from pulling her hair out w/ the escapades I got into, although I never got so far as jail. Thank God. Hopefully this will be, as my grandparents use to say, a learning experience and a wake of call for him. I will keep you and your son in my thoughts and prayers. Donna, sfy

Thanks Donna! It is tuff but I am not letting it get me down that much. I think he has learned a major lesson this time. He says if he gets out he will become a home body and only leave to go to work. I hope this is what it is going to take to straighten him out. I just hope he is innocent and someday soon we can put this behind us and not have to look back!!! Lisa S

*big hugs* to you Lisa. I will be keeping your family in my prayers. Please remember to take care of yourself thru all this too. Susan

Thanks Terry!!! I really appreciate it alot! Lisa S

Hi Lisa... Just wondering how you are doing today and how your son is.... Take care of yourself!! Susan

lisa, you were on my mind all day long. i'm sorry to hear that your son is still incarcerated. i will continue to pray that he is innocent. please keep us updated, and take care of you, patricia

Thanks alot Patricia! I sat in the courtroom yesterday morning praying that he would be able to post bail but he was denied. I don't think God is hearing me so I guess I am going to have to start praying more! Lisa S

Lisa, i am sure God is hearing you. sometimes when a request is not granted, then maybe it is not the time for it. maybe God wants your son not to be given bond, and learn some more from the experience as not to repeat whatever got him there in the first place. keep the faith

I think you are right! I kinda thought the same thing. Lisa S.
