Setting Things Up

And whatsoever ye do in word or deed, 
do all in the name of the Lord Jesus, 
giving thanks to God the Father by Him.
Colossians 3:17

The Chaplain’s office has been a busy place of late...

Our annual Christian Family Day event is coming up on June 8th. We’ve got a record number of inmates and their guests scheduled to attend. Each guest has to be approved by prison officials in advance. Each man has to purchase a ticket for himself, and for each person he wishes to invite. We purchase the tickets via the prison’s commissary, and the money we raise through the purchase of tickets pays for the entire event. Thus the cost is not funded by taxpayers, should anyone think otherwise.

Meanwhile, I still work as a clerk for the Chaplain. I guess this is part of my calling for now. It’s not something I asked for, but I do want to do a good job for Jesus, and for my congregation, as well.

Then, this coming Friday, I will be part of an eight-man work crew who will be setting up the facility’s gymnasium for the event. Lots of work. So I am thanking God in advance for the grace and strength to do a full day’s work.
