Crochet Me Crazy

Life has given me some blows but nothing hurts more than the anger, disappointment, pain, anguish, worry you feel when your 19 year old son is sitting in a jail cell. My son is in serious trouble. We were NOT going to bail him out and we let him stay in jail for 2 nights. It was actually the officers at the jail that influenced me to bail him out on Saturday. I had an officer pull me aside after I visited on Saturday. They were going to be moving him the next morning to the next county which is a bigger jail. They said we didn't want him in there with those other guys and that that might do him more harm than good. No one seemed to think he should be going there. We had reservations but we did it. My son said that several officers were coming in and telling him he needed to bail himself out if we weren't going to. My son confessed to the crime, apologized and had a good attitude the whole time. The officers said that he told them that he was raised better than this. My son called us crying and wrote us a lot of letters from jail. He is saying that he knows he has to change and needs our help. He needs God's help -- please pray for my son. We are in for a long road ahead with this. He will most likely get probation but that won't be easy either. He will be going to church with me every Sunday now and a man in my Sunday school class has offered him a job. He's going to have to drive a ways but the man is a strong christian and has been through some of the same stuff in his younger years. I would love to get some distance between him and this girl he is dating as well. She is just a complication in him getting his life right. So...all of you that pray...please pray for my son and for us!
