My Prison Ministry

I have a friend and his first name is John. He made a mistake 8 years ago and is in Elmore CF in Elmore near Montgomery, Al. I worked with John many years with my company and he is a dear friend.

He can call me maybe once a month and I get letters regularly. He has accepted Christ into his life and has put 'all' in God's hands. I send him letters, stamps and maybe a calendar each year but keep his mail box filled with a letter or card regularly.

He has been a good inmate and will soon have a change for a parole hearing. I will find out when it is and there are several of us that have said we would like to speak for him and hopefully his release.

Keep John in your prayers and know he has Jesus by his side and that all is truly in God's hands. I am writing a letter to him today and to let him know I sent some money through the prison so he can buy things he needs in the commissary. I have kept all his letters and hopefully one day soon we can sit down and talk about his future when he gets released...Pray for John in Elmore...please..Jeff

Groundhog Day

Calendar oddity

Mark your calendar for 2 Feb 20 11 ....

This year, both Groundhog Day and the State of the Union address occur on the same day. It is an ironic juxtaposition of events; one involves a meaningless ritual in which we look to a creature of little intelligence for prognostication while the other involves a groundhog. PS: (Folks it's a JOKE!)

Men vs Women...My Thoughts

EATING OUT
· When the bill arrives, Mike, Dave and John will each throw in $20, even though it's only for $32.50. None of them will have anything smaller and none will actually admit they want change back.
·
When the girls get their bill, out come the pocket calculators.


MONEY
· A man will pay $2 for a $1 item he needs.
· A woman will pay $1 for a $2 item that she doesn't need but it's on sale.


BATHROOMS
· A man has six items in his bathroom: toothbrush and toothpaste, shaving cream, razor, a bar of soap, and a towel.
· The average number of items in the typical woman's bathroom is 337. A man would not be able to identify more than 20 of these items.


ARGUMENTS
· A woman has the last word in any argument.
· Anything a man says after that is the beginning of a new argument.


FUTURE
· A woman worries about the future until she gets a husband.
· A man never worries about the future until he gets a wife.


SUCCESS
· A successful man is one who makes more money than his wife can spend.
· A successful woman is one who can find such a man.


MARRIAGE
· A woman marries a man expecting he will change, but he doesn't.
· A man marries a woman expecting that she won't change, but she does.


DRESSING UP
· A woman will dress up to go shopping, water the plants, empty the trash, answer the phone, read a book, and get the mail.
· A man will dress up for weddings and funerals.


NATURAL
· Men wake up as good-looking as they went to bed.
· Women somehow deteriorate during the night.


OFFSPRING
· Ah, children. A woman knows all about her children. She knows about dentist appointments and romances, best friends, favorite foods, secret fears and hopes and dreams.
· A man is vaguely aware of some short people living in the house.



THOUGHT FOR THE DAY
A married man should forget his mistakes. There's no use in two people remembering the same thing!
