"My name is *censored*, and it is my understanding that someone from here was nice enough to take custody of my son's bicycle on Thursday morning when he was picked up for his drunkeness."

That's the start of a letter we got today. See, her son was placed under arrest for being too drunk in public. It was my dad who called 911 when he witnessed the man (about 26 years old) fall off his bike and seriously injure his hand. According to my dad, besides being drunk, the man looked very depressed (even before falling off his bike) and sad.

Maybe that's just a sideaffect of being so drunk, but it's still bothersome. I think he needs prayer...

It could go either way. Often, this degree of drunkeness is a side effect of the depression. Many people seek alcohol for the same reason others seek drugs - it offers temporary relief from whatever is causing them physical or mental pain in their life.

I'll certainly keep the man in mind. No one should be in that state of drunkeness and misery.
