Boy...I'm going to give you all a little personal testimony this morning. I'm sitting here in my jail cell, and it's 10:00 a.m. The sun is shinning bright outside and it looks like a great day. I wish we were all together. I won an extra slice of pizza last night on the Seahawks and San Francisco game. Hunter, who were you pulling for? I also came up 6 stamps on the poker table. That puts me at 15 stamps for the week to the good. lol ...I wonder if God minds me doing a little gambling in here? It helps to pass time and keeps me in writing material! My days consist of prayer time and meditation, journaling, writing and bible study from the time I wake up till my cell gets up usually around 12:00 noon. From 2:00 till 4:30 I lift weights and run the stairs. And from 7:30 to 9:45 every night I work! That means I gamble at the poker table! And that is what I do every day.
Today I'm missing my family, all of you! Angela, Zarria, Nick, Savanah, Faith, Hunter, Mia. You all are the most important 7 people in my life right now and I want you to know that I love you very much. I'm kind of excited about writing to you all like this because I can kind of get you in touch with my feelings all at the same time and I don't have to spend so much paper and postage. 7 letters a day would be murder.
I think maybe once or twice a week I wont give you any scriptures to read, but just talk with you, tell you what's on my heart and maybe just try to listen to God's voice and put it on paper. So far I've been reading What Happens When Husbands and Wives Pray Together by Carey Moore and Pamela Roswell Moore and sponsored by Ruth Bell Graham. I assume that is Billy Graham's old lady. Anyway, it's a very good book and I'd like for Nick and Zarria and Angela to go to the nearest book store and get a copy or just download it to your tablet. It's a short read but very good information. God talks to me a lot through reading and believe it or not I'm finding that I like to write my thoughts down also. Maybe one day Angela and I can write a book on our experiences and get it to people with drug problems and people that come from broken homes! I would encourage all of you to daily write down your thoughts that you have with the Lord and your day to day life. I think you'll find it to be rewarding one day! In the last 2 or 3 weeks I've been on a mission to get right with the Lord and make sure that I don't fall back into Satan's trap when I'm released! I wonder what you all are struggling with in your lives and wish you would write me to let me know what's going on with you! One way correspondence gets lonely sometimes. Pray for me to keep motivation up to be diligent in my correspondence with you guys so you all can see my thoughts and be as much a part of my life as possible right now! Today I feel like the lonely man on a beach without a volleyball named Wilson to talk too.
Prayer: Father God, in Luke 11:1 it says "Lord, teach us to pray." and that is our prayer today that you would honor your word in our lives and teach us to pray. Show us the importance, help us to remain faithful to that and intercede for us when we forget a few things. Our purpose is to know you Jesus and know the direction in our lives that you want us to go. Father your will be done -Amen-
