Hi all Doves,

Please pray for my brother Mike.. He is my twin brother.  Friday afternoon Mike attempted suicide by use of a shotgun.  He and his wife live in an apartment on the first floor.  He called to tell his son and his wife "l love you" and then hung up.  At the last moments he opted out and still shot off the shotgun into the ceiling.  Above where the bullet went was the room of a nursery where at that moment the mother was next to the crib of her baby.  The bullet went inches by it. I thank God for that.  He is as of Friday in the hospital under 72hr watch and not know what is next for him.  Don't know if the Landlord where they live will evict his wife and Mike institutionalized or go to Jail if file charges on top of the attempted suicide.

Mike has a myriad of illnesses and to include now, Dementia. He has for very many years not been able to maintain work and a stabled home for the family.  Our side and his wife's side have been supplementing their income to sustain them and the boys over the years. The sons live close by now and so many dynamics to their story.  They are not Christians and far from any desire about the Christian faith.   The sons are much like their father as well, not stable in living and an ability to have a marriage due to lifestyle choices.  The boys each have a son from a living together or brief marriage.  

They all need the Lord.  All of my siblings and their families need the Lord.  Please pray for Mike and his family and all of my siblings and their families.   I have been the lone Christian for 47 years and praying much for each one.  Thank you.
