I became irate with her a few minutes ago and told her she might kill herself, and she needs to recommit her life to God.
After I hung up with her I received a call within 20 minutes, my mother while on medications, she had consumed two alcoholic beverages. She just crashed a few minutes ago and struck 5 vehicles. Her car was totaled, her seat belt didn't even work, and her face was bloody.
It is a pure miracle of God that she's alive. They arrested her and transported her to the hospital. Today my mother is 54 years of age, and this is her first run-in with any law enforcement agency.
I ask that you pray for Veronica, that she gives her life back to God, and also my father, Ralph.
I know that I'm not well liked here, and if this petition is much for some of you, pray for your parents.
Close your eyes and envision your parents in Hell, if that doesn't give you a burden, my friend, nothing will.
I'm hoping they just cite her a release her instead of going through the booking process.
God Bless.

1Cor2v4,
If your mom is just 54 you are a much younger man than I thought. I will be praying for your mom. I have been in a similar situation to what you are in.
My mom married my dad at age 16 (he was 26) and was married for 26 years before he was killed in a tragic accident. She was driving behind him and saw the whole thing. She was very traumatized. She was left at age 42 with a 13 year old son to raise and had been married since she was basicly a kid herself.
Although she said all of the right things to me to make me not hold anything against God she did. After a few years she stopped going to church (although she insisted I go and I wanted to).
Mom was probably out of church for 15 years or so and I prayed for her all of the time. In her case she was not drinking or somoking but never the less she was not serving God.
In Gods time (and her time) her heart became tender again and a wonderful man of God who had come to pastor a church in her area reached out to her in love and she made things right with God.
It was only a few short years after that she had this terrible stroke that has left her almost completely paralyzed, tube fed, and unable to speak. I am so glad she has the comfort of the Holy Ghost during this time of suffering and the promise of eternal life when the struggle is over.
I said all that to say I not only sympathyze with you I empathyze with you and will add your mom to my prayer list. I know it is frustrating that living for God is not something we can make our loved ones do, that we have to just pray for God to continue to work with them until they accept his calling.
God Bless
