| Letter 6-20 |
|
| |
Morning MC!! Scott called yesterday and sounded over the shock of court. We had a good talk! AND he called twice. (i thought they were 10 minutes each but he said they are 15- they seem to FLY by)
He said he is not leading Bible studies or Prayer Call anymore. Others are.  He has been spending all of his time doing one on one counseling with inmates that request it, and building up and strengthening the ones leading. Then he got a letter from the core group guys that went to the other tier and they promised to get things going over there. All he said was - God is doing mighty things over there- and that he is sending me that letter. LOL We'll just have to wait. Oh and he is still doing Sunday services. But he has an "understudy" for that too.
Also- I find it so funny that we both started working out around the same time! One flesh! hehe
6-20 It has been a hard day for me. For some reason I couldn't find the right attitude to even get out of bed. I have been in a bad mood. I just could not get myself motivated.
"Military Man" is leaving. His wife posted bail. When he told me I rejoiced with him but then became depressed. Again I watch them leave while I stay. That just gets tougher each time.
I'm getting back into a work out schedule and it gets easier each day. Being sore again makes me wonder why I ever quit. (only a person who works out will understand that- hehe)
I feel confident in the fact that I will be leaving soon. But I can't believe how slow the days have been since court. It just drags so slow and sometimes seems to just stop. Right now it is so hard to stay positive when all I can think about is how much I miss the love of my life.
6-21 I spent a lot of the day talking to people. The Bible Study number seem to be falling. With this new group of inmates, myself and a few other guys are going to take some time to finding the needs. Then see if we can't aim the messages for the heart of what they need.
It seems that XXXX is making things difficult for guys to come to study. Today when I called it, he decided to grab a few that normally come and talk them into playing cards. Some people are constant maintenance. There are those who need the attention because of their damage in sin. However, some do it just to get attention from me. When I try to stay in my rack, I always end up with someone on the toilet just waiting for me to wake up and see them. (no chairs in the counseling cell- LOL) Most of the time if they see my eyes open the just start talking.
I am so frustrated that I am missing another holiday. I will miss 4th of July with you. Do you remember our last one? Our walk on the levee together just holding hands and talking. (we watched fireworks from the top of the levee in Metairie looking over Lake Pontchartrain- it was fantastic!!)
6-22 It had been a day of group talking and reading the Word. At 9pm we got to talking about the Holy Spirit and I talked about you. It is now 2am.
6-23 I end up giving all my breakfasts away in trade for a bag of coffee each week. It ends up 7 trays for a $4 bag of coffee.
I am so happy you have found so many Christian friends! God has been so good to both of us. You have had to survive with little (like trading food for coffee isn't the same thing- we both have been pretty creative through all this. My fixing computers or giving haircuts for groceries)
The school yard threats are at an all time high. But the bullies are over-sized "thugs". I am coming close to losing my patience with them. (we will pray)

drats -- found a good fireworks picture -- and dumb laptop won't do what it is supposed to do --so unless we all get a big thrill looking a red x --- I owe you a picture!
If you didn't know where he was --- and you were reading this - you would think he was a pastor on the misison field etc. those are all the things a pastor deals with ---- except there you can actually "see" the guy with the cards -- etc.
Jesus said to Peter: " I am praying for you Peter ....... that your faith will NOT fail you!" Help Scott to grow his faith ----- xoxoxoxoxoxox |
