Dear Get Loud

Dear Get Loud,

    I just picked up my first issue of Get Loud publication, and yes right now, I am between homes. I’m staying at a chiropractor’s home out south. I know he’s trying to help me out of his Christian heart, but he can be a little hard on me. I really don’t know him that well. He’s the one who asked me to come to stay here. 
    
It might look like I’m complaining. My brother left me high and dry. I could--should--be living back at home where I grew up, but no--he’s never asked me to go back there the two times I’ve been homeless in the past five years. He’s since moved out to California.
    
I’ve been a believer in Christ for the past 21 years, I’m sure glad he’s in my life, because I really don’t know what I’d do if he wasn’t in my life. I had a big drug problem in the ‘80s. I have recovered from them, thank God, cause I know I couldn’t-wouldn’t survive on the streets if I was still doing drugs. God has put it on my heart to stay away from people who do them--not to ever do drugs again.
    
Rent has gone through the roof in Colorado. It’s ridiculous!! I’m not quite sure what to do!! So I thought to drop you this letter.

     Thanks--God Bless,

                       Jay Kern
