december 9th – inside/out

Hi Sweetgirl,

It’s Sunday right after lunch, and we’ve been locked down most of the morning.  I served breakfast this morning and then came back into the tank for the church service.  I could have stayed out in the “G” room for the service, but I knew I needed to come back in here to wake up Jonathan for church.  I’m glad I did because the sermon was on prayer and a lot of the guys have  been asking about it.  I had a huge headache and still do, which made it hard to stay connected to the service.  Once the service was over we had to lock it back down.

Neat story.  When I came back into the tank from serving yesterday morning, it was just Silver and Big Tony out in the day room.  I went and sat down at their table, they were watching one of the TV evangelists.  Silver shared that he would like to pray together regarding some of the decisions his parents have coming up.  They own a sizeable ranch in Hesperia, one that they have had for years.  Silver grew up there and the family obviously has a lot of sentimental attachment to it.  Well his parents are talking of selling it and downsizing to a place down the road.  Silver wanted to pray that God would lead their decision and give them peace about it.  We clasped hands and prayed.  It was good.  I’ll keep you posted as to the outcome.

Good to hear about Chip’s progress.  He really got lucky.  Dad mentioned that you had an encounter with a coyote about 2 weeks ago.  I meant to ask about the details when we spoke, but I got side-tracked.  I am concerned about the boldness of the coyotes to come so close to the house.  I think we might need to be careful with the kids playing outside, but I’m also not sure if the coyotes stay out much past the morning hours.  I might be worrying for nothing.

Here is a list of all the inmates and their booking numbers for Christmas cards.

So this is the  majority of the people that will be here for Christmas.  I anticipate an additional 10 names as we get closer to that day.  I’ll try to give you those as they come in.  Also, can you forward a copy of the list to my parents?  They have a couple of groups that want to send cards also.  Pretty cool.

Well, pretty girl, I’ll write more a little later.  Know that I am craving your loving touch, and the ability to give you mine.

I love you Kirsten, Scott
