As it is written, For thy sake we are killed all the day long;
We are accounted as sheep for the slaughter. Romans 8:36 I continue to live in a season of testings where my simple faith in the Lord Jesus is being tried by fiery trails... In my distress I cried unto the Lord,
and He heard me. Psalms 120:1 Sundays are always busy for me... For the past several months I have been experiencing a degree of physical agony because of osteoarthritis...
And He that sat upon the throne said,
"Behold, I make all things new." Revelation 21:5a It’s now almost eight o’clock in the evening. Soon I plan to get on line for a shower and then return to my cell for the night... For thy mercy is great above the heavens:
And thy truth reacheth unto the clouds. Psalm 108:4 Last night I tossed and turned and I writhed in pain... When I went to work this afternoon I learned that one of the men from the Intermediate Care Program tried to take his life sometime after breakfast...
But they that wait upon the Lord shall renew their strength;
they shall mount up with wings as eagles; they shall run, and not be weary; and they shall walk, and not faint. Isaiah 40:31 Lately I have had to limp through a valley of pain... As of December 26, 2005 I returned to work at the prison’s E-North cell block. This is where the Intermediate Care Program is located and houses the men who have special needs, to include a variety of issues each may be dealing with that calls for extra attention from the facility’s Mental Health staff, and from me in my assigned role as an "Inmate Program Aide."
The Lord is good, a strong hold in the day of trouble;
And He knows them that trust in Him. Nahum 1:7 Oftentimes I have taken great comfort in this little known verse of Scripture. For it seems as if I live in a continuous swirl of storms and struggles, and trials and tribulations... Jay’s* daughter, Valerie, died today. She was forty-one years old and left behind three children...
I press toward the mark for the prize of
the high calling of God in Christ Jesus. Philippians 3:14 The Scripture verse just before the one I quoted at the top of this page says to forget those things which are behind, and instead reach forth to those things that are ahead... But unto you that fear My name shall the Sun
Of righteousness arise with healing in His wings . . . Malachi 4:2a I am stepping into a new year full of anticipation and hope at what God is going to do... |
