Thank you all for prayers. Marcus gave me an ultimatum.either I "let him win" and give him back his laptop computer and sony walkman and drive him to work or he was going to leave the house and never come back, and try to find someplace to live (not likely) and if that didn't work then he would kill himself. Marcus had worked himself up to such anxiety last night that he made himself sick and called in sick to work this morning. Why? Because I told him a month ago that because he chose to not take the drivers training class to get a driver's permit, that he was going to have to figure out another way to get to work because as of the 14th (today) I would no longer be driving him on weekdays when Bartow Transit is available. He didn't make other arraignments thinking that I didn't mean what I said and that I would still take him anyway, so he decided to pull emotional blackmail on me to manipulate me. We had an appointment with our pastor already scheduled for today. Based on what Marcus said after he left "It sounds like he is taking your side and everything is my fault", I don't think he gets it yet. So, obviously this is a very condensed version of the turmoil that was today, (why does he pull this when I am supposed to be working and not on the weekend???) but please just continue to pray that he chooses to accept correction/discipline from authority and chooses obedience rather than rebellion.

Please also pray for my safety as I travel over the next 11 days. Also, I went to the doctor today for an ear infection and the start of a sinus infection. He is also testing my kidney, liver, and thyroid function, for rheumatoid arthritis, and for 10 different auto immune diseases. He wants to find out what has been causing some of the issues I've been having, especially with my family history. I might not get those results for two weeks. Lastly, I see my heart surgeon tomorrow. I'll let you know if anything changes with my treatment after I get to Florida tomorrow night. Thanks for all the prayers, especially for Anne and Marcus!
