A Little Encouragement

I thank my God, making mention of thee
always in my prayers. 
Philemon 4

I was fortunate to be able to finish my morning's job assignment early and thus return to my cell by 9:45. This gave me extra time to pray, and to be still before the Lord...

I then spent a good portion of the morning reading the Apostle Paul's letter to his friend, Philemon. Later I got behind my trusty typewriter and wrote several letters. One was to a pastor and his wife who live in New York, while another letter was to a friend in Edmond, Oklahoma who needed some encouragement. It's been said that a little encouragement goes a long way. I believe this is true.

Next I composed a letter to a small church in Harbour Breton, Newfoundland (Canada) to thank them for their service to the Lord, and to please continue to open their hearts to those in the community who do not as of yet know Jesus Christ as their Savior.

In the afternoon I went back to work.
