Though he isn't on the top of my list of favorite people all the same he is going through hard times - harder than maybe he should. Besides being unemployed he has been contacted by a collection agency which had turned around and put a hold on his banking account and credit cards. He only has access to the money in his pocket. Casey's Dad says it is for delinquent medical bills. I've never heard of a collection agency every doing that for medical bills - even after telling the agency he has no job. We have medical bills outstanding for Casey but never had anything like that happen.
He was always looking 'for a better job' than the one he lost. turned down several jobs - not to his liking. Burned all his other bridges including offending his Dad. taking advantage of church generousity and using up Casey's college fund that was set up by her grandma who had passed away many years back. He hasn't had a working hot water heater in months, his trailer is in need of repairs and at this point I think he has even received an eviction notice from the trailer park to get out.
We tell Casey to 'make wise choices' which is hard for her to do when the example of 'taking the easy way out' has always been her Dad's example. He is even trying to get disability so he doesn't have to work and the government will support him. (His brother made that suggestion to get disability though I doubrt he qualifies - but his brother knows of a judge in his hometown that 'gives disability to almost anyone because the economy is so depressed in the area'. Guess the judge figures income to keep the town afloat can be generated by putting people on disability so they can use the 'free' money given as a reward for laziness." (And at a cost to taxpayers).
Not the best father in the world but for his sake and even for Casey who is having a rough time with her Dad 'maybe wanting to do something stupid' (suicide). I think he needs our prayers. Like I say not my favorite guy but all the same still one of God's creation and Jesus suffered and died for his sins too.
Thank you for praying for him.
