Middle Boy called twice today.  The first call was really good.  He recited the Psalm he had memorized and then we talked about the things we are thankful for.  When we got off the phone he was on his way to Bible study.  I am thankful they were there on Thanksgiving morning.

The second call was HORRIBLE.  He is so frustrated with this whole thing and he didn't want to hear anything I had to say.  He is so focused on the possibility of his detention hearing being December 1st and I just don't know anymore.  We talked a little bit about how he might feel if it doesn't happen.  He told me that at that point he would just give up and stop trying. 

The call left me in tears of sadness and frustration.

Please pray he will hold on to hope until the detention hearing and beyond.
