Thanks for your prayers I waited to give an update because when Lon was telling me what happened we were texting and both of us did not quite understand the system and none of what he told me made any sense. He really did not know what was going on when he went to court. It was a pre-sentencing hearing where he only had to plea, which he plead guilty. He will go again next week his choice of Mon, Tues or Thur to get sentenced and will go to jail from there. He was talking about going Thur so he can wrap up some loose ends (he just moved from an apt to a house with 2 other guys closer to campus). So if he goes then and gets two weeks he will be out on Christmas Eve, not sure morning or evening. I am going to encourage him to go in Tues cause I may be able to get him on Wed and bring him back to the Springs for Christmas:) He still has that suspended license. So still lift him up mostly that his mind will be open and his heart will soften to the Lord. And of course for protection while in jail. Thank you for your prayers, love you all. - Jodi (12/6/09)

Please lift my son Lonnie up in prayer today. He is going to court for driving with a suspended license (it was suspended when he got a DUI earlier this year). It sounds like he will be going to jail, the length of time is what is in question. Either 2 or 4 weeks. He has actually asked me to pray for him as we have been talking this through. He put it like this, "I guess you better pray for me". But, that gave me the opportunity to tell him the bible says when 2 or more are gathered in His name your prayer will be heard. We were chatting last night and I asked what he wanted for Christmas and he said freedom. God again gave me opportunity to share His Word with my son. You guessed it, Whom the Son sets free is free indeed!
Pray for fair judgement, I believe 2 weeks is plenty of time, I plan on going to see him after he is there for a week. It would be nice if he didin't have to go but I think he might get some reveletion while there, that is my prayer. Of course if he is sentenced I ask for protection I have no idea what can happen. If God wants to reveal Himself and Lonnie doesn't have to go to jail I can tell him, we prayed for you when the sentence is nothing or light. Some of you may know about the time he couldn't move and we were texting back and forth. Finally I got a text message that said, Weird, I don't know what happened, I can suddenly move. And I got to say, I prayed for you.
God is just and knows Lonnie, I pray that Lonnie wants to know God and sees God's hand in this. Love you, thanks for the prayers. Jodi - (12/4/09)
