Kirsten and Scott--a husband and wife that are separated by jailhouse walls, as he is incarcerated despite his innocence. He is facing life in prison without the possibility of parole. As a family of 4, and then 5, as the story unfolds, Scott and Kirsten knew the "good life." But God had a better one in store. They first had to be broken. They plumb new depths of their faith and in their knowledge of the Word in these days that some would consider dark, but that God infused with great joy. Throughout a total of 16 months of separation they wrote letters to each other that are filled with the stories that capture the depth of their love, family life, fear, questioning, and details of what God is doing in, around and through them. Many of the letters are laced with snaphots of jailhouse interactions in the maximum security unit where God still dwells. It is inspiring to see how the Holy Spirit moves throughout the whole situation when you see Scott’s letter next to Kirsten’s as the days go by. Prayers are being prayed and answered and it is all recorded in the daily wrap-up. It is a God story. It is a love story. And the letters are delivered daily. Make sure you

december 12th – outside/in
by Kirst on December 6, 2009
Hi. It was good to see you today, although I’d have wished for a little more privacy.
This morning when Kayt came in my room at 4:30 AM she noticed that the headphones were hanging on the treadmill when they had not been there when she went to bed. She is so observant.
We have another early morning tomorrow–two days in a row of leaving at 7:45. Crazy to get up and all 3 of us bathed and ready that early. Life will be a breeze when you are back to help. 
I know–that may be overstating it a little bit.
So next Wednesday, let’s get an extra click, just you and me.
I love you, Kirst
