Dear praying friends,

Last night our VW was stolen from our home, locked, and in our garage. Thirty minutes ago the thieves politely called me, asking for $4000 if I wanted the car back. I have decided in my heart not to negotiate with these criminals. But the loss hurts. The personal items, my mp3 player with my entire collection of music, mix-tapes that I made for Janet when we were falling in love, 2 child car-seats, 1 stroller, and who knows what else, all gone.

All of this comes at a time when our committed monthly support is dangerously low. We are very upset and a little scared. We live in a quiet neighborhood and this was a job done by real professionals who must have been watching us for a while. Then, though the car is not even in our name, they manage to call our cell phone. It is a betraying feeling. $13,000 down the drain…

Pray for wisdom and composure,

His,

The Mezgers
