I got to spend some quality time with Ken many times over this past year. I held him when he would weep for what he knew he had done to so many people. He talked about God a lot those last few months and often wondered how God could Love someone that had hurt so many people through the years. I ASSURED him that God Loved him just as much as he Loved me are anyone else. I do believe that Ken at some point and time was saved. I think he felt that in his heart also. Kristi I felt some of the same pain you felt toward him. He really knew that you and other people really Loved him and understood why a lot of people choose to stay away from him. We need to Love when someone is unlovable. God Loves us no matter what and Ken knew that Love even though we did not think he did. So one day when I get to glory land I hope I find Ken so I can tell how much I love him.<br />Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569536318472848599.post-24866840612044763012012-01-14T00:13:09.647-05:002012-01-14T00:13:09.647-05:00I too had an addictive sibling.

It is so sad, I supposed some have the addictive personality. I know my sister did, But Thank God, she decided to change her lifestyle, and when I say she did, that's what I mean. You can pray and pray and beg them to quit, but until they want too, it's not going to happen. I am so happy and thankful to God that she changed and is living for Jesus now. She could have ended up like Ken, and so many others. I hate that you had to go through this with your brother, and I can sympathize with you. I also have many stories I could tell, but am glad she straightened up her life, before it was to late.<br />God Bless you Kristi, Jody, Kathy and Mr. and Mrs. Henderson. My thoughts and prayers will be with you. May God comfort you as only He can.Tina Scruggshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09281539007611431153noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569536318472848599.post-67998908143792477662012-01-13T06:05:35.779-05:002012-01-13T06:05:35.779-05:00Wow..such a heartfelt story...God bless u and ur f...Wow..such a heartfelt story...God bless u and ur family!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569536318472848599.post-63942713860973621892012-01-12T21:23:58.486-05:002012-01-12T21:23:58.486-05:00I personally knew Ken, and witnessed his great per...I personally knew Ken, and witnessed his great personality and since of humor on a regular basis...he will be missed! ~KPAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3569536318472848599.post-86153779839635975072012-01-12T10:09:27.115-05:002012-01-12T10:09:27.115-05:00I love you!

I am thankful too that you and he were able to spend time in the fathers presence together before his leaving into eternity. I am also thankful that you shared this story with all who will listen. As Jesus says "let all who has an ear hear what the Spirit is saying" in this heartfelt letter of Struggles, life, addiction, hurt, shame, guilt and ultimately, at least for you, frogiveness and release. <br />Rev.

In those short moments with your brother before his passing, HE redeemed a place of love, peace and forgiveness that had been robbed from your heart all of those years. Wow!!! I'm glad that you can hold on to that for the rest of your life. <br /><br />I pray that Ken accepted the Savior at some point. <br /><br />Peace and comfort to your family during your time of bereavement.<br /><br />~Angela PerryAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
