Quote (Not3in1 @ July 11 2008,18:48) Ha – “…no middle name because his mother couldn't afford one.” Now you've got my curiosity up, Irene! Do share….. 
Mandy just a Family joke. Georg wrote a speech once for the Church's Man's Club. That was the first time He used it, and it stuck with us all.
Love IreneHi Jodi,
No reason to have to defend anything. I think you took my post way too personal. It's just that I have some experience in this area having worked for and with drug rehabs in the past (detox is usually a part of the process. I may note here that folks who drink for a couple days out of sorrow usually don't need to go to an official detox center – they just sleep it off). The idea that there may be something else going on was only that – an idea. Of course I've been praying for your family, that was the priority not delving into personal business.
I was only giving food for thought, I guess you could say. But obviously you are very much invested in your brother's life and well being. Sometimes pondering another side to the story can be too much. Anyway, it certainly sounds like it is not even warranted. So please forgive me for upsetting you. That was not my intention at all, goodness it wasn't. And you shouldn't feel like you cannot share things here regarding family and your concerns, that would be tragic. We are the family of God, if we cannot count on one another who can we count on? I think this is one of those situations where a misunderstanding is easy over words and posts and not being able to hear someone's voice and see their body language.
I actually do have some ideas for your brother regarding this situation, but I'm not so sure you are open to hearing them now.
Love to you,
MandyHi,
I believe it is good to share but we should keep it at a personal level and I would plead for privacy in how we speak of the lives of others.Hi Nick,
Not completely sure what you are saying? You say, “….I would plead for privacy in how we speak of the lives of others.” Are you saying that for instance, when I bring issues here that have to do with my husband that I should not share anything personal in his life (i.e., he is an alcoholic)? I'm a bit confused at the point you are making. Thanks.
Usually folks who share prayer requests are open to other's prayers and comments on what they bring. I know this has helped me tremendously through the years. Comments both positive and negative have helped me evaluate a situation, for example. You take the good and the bad and realize folks are trying to help….
Hi not3,
This is not for anyone in particular.Taking the extreme view if we are not sensitive this could become just a gossip column.
Oh, gotcha! That is what I hoped you meant. I was hoping I didn't over-step my bounds when sharing about my husband.
Enjoy your weekend,
MandyHi Sisters Mandy and Jodi,
Please come back to prayer requests. We are all praying for all that you have shared here. Keep trusting our Father in heaven He is our real Daddy and Mom who can understand our problems and difficulties. He is prayer answering God, by this time you might have already noticed His hand in your lives. Trust in the Lord and don't despair.
With love and prayers
AdamHey Jodi,
I completely understand. A little background does help when praying for someone however I understand. I hope I haven't ruined it for you (sharing for prayer). You must know me by now that I tend to get more personal that I should. That's my bad and not anyone elses. I apologize again, I really feel bad about this. I prayed last night that the Lord would really soothe out the edges for everyone here if anything was ruffled by my comments, and that your family would receive some insight and wisdom as to where to go next…. Mainly I pray that the family will be restored. I'll keep praying and do less talking. Besides, as I've shared I'm only checking in briefly here and there now because I'm trying to work on my own problems and marriage.
Take care and know you are in my thoughts and prayers,
MandyNow I guess it is my turn, even tho I am not completely sure what all is wrong with me, it is serious. One is about the lining of my brain. I have had these headaches for awhile now, which in the back of my neck where the main Nerve to the Brain lays. It is right behind my left ear. Ir is swollen and when my Doctor put some pressure on it, I jumped for joy.
Besides that He thinks my Lupus could be acting up.
I see my Rheumatologist on Tuesday. I would really appreciate your prayers.
I do not get scared to often, but this has me just a little rattled.

Irene,I will keep you in prayer to our healer.
Stay joyful it is His medicine!
Pro 17:22 A joyful heart is good medicine, but a crushed spirit dries up the bones.
Pro 15:13 A glad heart makes a cheerful face, but by sorrow of heart the spirit is crushed.
May God bless you,

Thank you Kathi, yes it makes me feel better knowing that you all are praying for me. Staying with Jesus and singing Praises to God our Heavenly Father.
Love IreneMy prayers are with you, Irene.
It is scary when our health starts to fail us in one way or another. As you know, I'm new to the battle of arthritis. It has not been fun at all. I'm just now starting to take off the weight that I gained from having to be imobile for all those months. Anyway, we are standing with you every step of the way. You are not alone.
Much love,
MandyHi Mandy! Thank you for the prayers. I had a nice Sunday, our Son Ralph was here and later Cindy and Her gang came and also one of our Grandson that I don't see to often. Tiffany want to take Crimanel Justice in College and Shawn our Grandson has taken 2 years of the same, which is interesting.
My Doctor had prescripted Medication for my Nerve Damage and I am telling it was so strong, it made me sick and shaky all over, at first and later all I did is laugh and evertthing was funny to me. Our Son was laughing so hard, made all laugh.
It all got me very tired tho and after they all left I went to sleep and just woke up from my nap. And my Headaches came back.
Praying for your Family are they better?
Peacew and Love Irene
