Older Brother

[Bunny]

Hey, guys. Well, after years of patience, my mom has finally gotten up the nerve to kick my brother out of the house. I love my brother probably more than anyone on this earth but I can't stand the way he's chosen to live his life.

I last saw him sober on Thursday night when he told me he was going to a bar with a few friends. I told him to be careful and not to do anything stupid ...which apparently went in one ear and out the other. He was calling me the next day to pick him up from a friend's house because all his friends were too drunk or hungover to drive him home. I spent the next thirty minutes trying to get directions from him and then trying to pull his cell phone from him with one hand and drive with other because he was in the middle of drunk-dialing his ex-girlfriend, calling her every combonation of cuss words in existence. He spent a couple hours on the couch before another one of his friends showed up. Together, they raided the freezer and headed out again, hauling a bag of chicken and some frozen pizzas. The next time I saw him (last night) he was laying on our porch cussing out my mom...drunk, of course.

This isn't unusual. He recently received a job offer that would pay him around $22/hr to be a welder and whenever he is suddenly faced with responsibility, he sinks back into his drunken, idiotic stupor. This isn't him. My brother is actually something of a creative genius. He's very talented and has a great heart for mistreated people.

Please pray from him. His name is Brandon. I've prayed and I believe I will see the day when he gives his life to Christ. I just really need some back-up. I don't know what I'll do if he calls me and asks for something. I just know that he's always loved me and looked up to me somehow. I want him home but I want him changed a lot more.
