The Season for Snow

1/7/2011

 
And the very God of peace sanctify you wholly;
and I pray God your whole spirit and soul and
body be preserved blameless unto the coming of
our Lord Jesus Christ. 
I Thessalonians 5:23


The hope and promise of Christ's return is one of the things which keeps me going...
One bright day Jesus Christ will come and remove His bride (the Church) from the earth. I hope to be in that number when God's children go marching into glory. Thanks to the Lord Jesus, I'll be able to stand before the God of the universe blameless, even though I am a man who is guilty of having committed many terrible sins.

Meanwhile, here on earth, I am joyfully watching the snow as it quietly falls to the ground. Upwards to six to eight inches is expected. Otherwise it is business as usual here at the prison.

The good part for me, however, is that in addition to watching the beautiful snow, I may have the remainder of the morning off from work. This is because the legally blind inmate I'm assigned to guide and care for is confined to his cell for a rule infraction. Normally I would have to take him to his class. Now all I have to do is be on "standby" in case he has to go to the hospital or to see his counselor.

For me I suppose you could liken it to being a fireman who must remain on his post at the fire station. Unless a call comes in he has free time to do other things within the confines of the firehouse. Thus I am on standby in my cell. The good part is that I have all morning to relax and read, and to do what I'm doing now - writing in my journal.

D.B.
