When I concluded my previous two posts (Living Conflicted and Living Conflicted, Part 2) I hadn’t planned on writing again about cell mates unless I encountered someone unique in some way. Plans change sometimes, right? As you may recall, the cell mate I wrote of was sent to the SHU (Special Housing Unit) because hooch…

Life Connections (Life on the Inside – Part 6)
I have written twice of my desire to attend a program called “Life Connections Program,” [LCP] : Decisions, Decisions (Life On The Inside – Part 4) and Done. And Done.. This program is faith based and is offered at two institutions, but not in the one I am currently. One of the locations that offers the…
Do Unto Others…

Memorial Day Prayer
Every year we lose brave women and men and add hundreds of veterans to our nation’s roll call. These fine people do what they do for love of country and for love of their fellow countrymen. We are indeed blessed to have each and every one of them stand up for freedom and human rights…
Be Selfish In Prayer
My life is sort of like “Groundhog Day,” so when I realized this weekend was Mother’s Day I also realized an opportunity lost in not writing a post for Mother’s Day. When my sister reminded me what this weekend’s post was about, we realized that it was perfect. Mothers, just like Jabez, need to be…
