Looks as if Alexander flies to Az .We LOST.I think? Not as bad news as first thought!

[Karen]

Will raise Alex in prayer in church tomorrow, and I'm singing, I'm the "special music" so will do "Precious Lord," for you, Alex, and his Dad and another friend who needs prayers at the moment. Do you know the song? If not, I can post lyrics, but I thought it was appropriate.

Ten a.m. service, EST time, in case your ears are burning right about then!

Thank You!
Gary called and Jasper and Alex will be flying out Monday for an appearance on Tuesday 1:30 AZ time.So we will pray and hope. I cannot make the trip as the tickets are outrageous on short notice so those 2 will fly and Adrian and I will wait and pray. No I don't know the song but I trust you Karen.

No I don't know the song but I trust you Karen.

Here's the song, a gospel classic, written by Thomas Dorsey
(not Tommy Dorsey the band-leader, different guy):

Precious Lord, take my hand.
Lead me on, let me stand.
I am tired, I am weak, and worn.
Through the storm, through the night,
Lead me on to the light.
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.

When my way grows drear,
Precious Lord, lead me near,
When my life is almost gone.
Hear my cry, hear my call.
Hold my hand, lest I fall.
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.

When the darkness appears
And the night draws near,
And the day is past and gone,
At the river I stand.
Guide my feet, hold my hand,
Take my hand, precious Lord,
Lead me home.

Did Gary give you ANY indication whether to be hopeful?

I know he can't lead you on.

Maybe tell dear Alex that when you see him again, you're going out for ice cream!

That way, you don't have to say "see you soon". I think you WILL - but you know how stupid the legal system can be!

Sounds like Gary is a good guy...

HUGS! and prayers

That is fitting for this occasion, and rightly put Catty1!!! Yes, Let's plan on ice cream afterwards!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Catty1]

But...sorry....has Gary said ANYTHING? or not?

[cyber-sibes]

We will be praying for Alex.
(((hugs))) to you, stay strong.

Gary is very hopeful, he spoke with the judge yesterday and the way it was put to us was simply " I refuse to allow this child to go back to a granola crunching nutjob " to quote Gary so he has amended the Joint papers to read Sole only and the Judge advised him that for him to rule in good conscious he will need to see the boy for himself (as the mother is now trying to block his appearance even though SHE requested it) Alex will get an official weigh in on Monday morning and take that paperwork from the Pediatricians office documenting his weight gain in a month here vs his gain in a year there. My mother in law is flying out for the court date so that Alex has someone to sit with as Gary refuses to allow him in the courtroom proper.

Oh Dr.Goodnow ----We will pray at 10:00a.m. E.S.T. while Karen is singing. "Precious Lord"


You have touched our heart and souls with your struggle .I know that all of you are in GOOD HANDS.


Tender prayers will be upon wings--- for Alex.
