| Posted 3/23/2003 9:01 AM (GMT -6) |   | Hey guys,
Today, my pastor just told us that his brother-in-law committed suicide on Friday. The guy was married to his sister. She was going through a divorce with him and so she did not have alot of emotional attachment there. Of recent, he didn't have a roof over his head (he would go between family member's homes), didn't have a job (he did have one but left it to come back down here cause she was going to try and work the marriage out but then decided within the month that she didn't want to). He was emotionally abused by his parents when he was a child and so he had quite a few addictions from caffeine to smoking to drugs. He was a very depressed person as well. There is no information on how he killed himself either. Last week he came to church, but that was probably one of the only times he had been there. He seemed liked a prime candidate for carrying this final solution out.
He leaves behind two sons (one from this marriage and the other one was his wife's from a previous marriage). He also leaves behind a daughter from a previous marriage. The two boys he was with are 12 and 9. The nine year old was his by blood.
The pastor asked if we could especially pray for the youngest boy. Thanks.

| Posted 3/31/2003 11:55 PM (GMT -6) | | Gosh Brandon, my heart is SO HEAVY for the pain this gentleman must have felt. My heart is burdened for his children that are left behind. I WILL be praying for all three children, especially the youngest son. Although I feel this heaviness in my heart for those who are left to bear the pain of this tragedy, I know, with utmost confidence, that prayer CAN avail much. Through the power of prayer God WILL move and work to comfort and give hope. I AM AND WILL BE PRAYING AS THE SPIRIT PROMPTS.
God's blessings bro. Thanks for allowing us the opportunity to pray for this family.
