Neat!
Sunday, January 15th, 2012I am SO not into celebrities, but I saw this link today from Prison Fellowhip. The new Miss America had an incarcerated parent and made her platform helping children of incarcerated parents! How awesome is that!?

This Touched Me
Saturday, January 14th, 2012If you’ve peeked at my Pinterest boards you may have seen that I happen to really like a certain football team…. Several weeks ago, before the game, I saw this clip on the pre-game show. Even if you don’t love football, please watch it for me–it’s back story for the rest of the post. [...]
It Doesn’t Go Away
Monday, January 9th, 2012Prison. Thankfully, our lives are really really different than they were even 1 year ago. Things are improving–definitely. But it’s always there and we get reminders. I paid off the attorney last week–FINALLY! He didn’t like the payment plan, but we couldn’t help it. Having an attorney bill to pay is a reminder. I looked [...]
Tears At The Talent Show~Repost
Wednesday, December 21st, 2011Last Friday was a big day in our family. I knew that Lee’s parole officer was taking him in at least for the weekend and most likely for longer. I was tired and emotional and wished I could just ignore the day. It was one of my classic, “I’m so tired I’m about to shut [...]
Christmas Eve At The Prison~Repost
Tuesday, December 20th, 2011I went to visit Lee on Christmas Eve. The visiting room was decorated. A tree stood in the corner its lights twinkling brightly. A toy train chugged around the base,happily unaware of its location. The air was full of the sounds of people in a festive mood. Lots of loud talking, laughter, and smiles. There [...]

Did You See Courageous Yet?
Monday, October 10th, 2011James and I went to see Courageous yesterday. Lee is working–I told him he MUST go see it. I like all of Sherwood’s movies but I’ll say this one is the best one yet. Really ALL of them are good, but they are figuring out the acting and have nicer cameras now and it really [...]
Prison Posts
Sunday, October 2nd, 2011Prison is fading (a little) from my mind. I can push it back in the dark corners and try to forget. But it’s there. It’s always there…. When I read posts about prison ministries, programs, and outreach, I still find myself touched. Here are a couple links: From the front lines of prison ministry Forgiving [...]
Field Trip?
Wednesday, July 13th, 2011While camping last week, we needed to go to town for bread and milk. On the way back to the camp, we drove past a church I went to as a Jr. High girl. I also went to the school at the church. I said, “Hey there’s a car–let’s stop.” So we knocked on the [...]
Telling~Repost from 2009
Wednesday, July 6th, 2011Telling people that my husband is/was in prison is never easy for me. I am getting better about it. It’s so much a part of our lives that now it’s just a fact . I don’t wear a sign or blab the news everywhere I go, but if people ask questions, it’s getting easier for [...]
