A few weeks ago, I made a last visit to my dear friend of 35 years. I sat next to her, took her hand and said, “Lee, it’s Earlene! I came to say I love you, and to thank you for getting me into prison ministry. I’m still doing it…and I’m in my 80’s!” Blinking […]
This month, I’ve chosen to focus on a teaching from “The Journey Seminar” that we conducted for ten years under Patty Rose. It has enlightened and encouraged many women in prisons.

“And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again, and receive you unto myself, that where I am, there ye may be also.” John 14:3 This present day of God’s grace is still running its course, and another year will soon begin. Will this be the year the Lord returns? […]
Recently, as I stood “between three grads” in the living room of our Southern Area Field Coordinator’s home, singing Christmas Carols together, my mind was fixed on another Christmas…thirty years ago in a tiny Prison Chapel.

Philippians 1:3 “I THANK my God upon every remembrance of you.” A teaching Nun, Helen Mrosla, tells of the day her kids were fighting in class. So she made them each take a sheet of paper and list the names of ALL the other students. Then she told them to write something they LIKED about […]
