Christmas Behind Bars - description of what it is like to spend Christmas Day in prison

I have been incarcerated since January of 2009, and Christmas is the single most depressing time of the year for me, and also one of the blessed days of my life. Being sentenced to life without parole, I try to find a pen pal every chance I can, but am unsuccessful. God hasn’t given me a pen pal, but has given me the gift of the women’s group at my church, at Witcher Baptist Church of God. Every year, the congregation, the women’s group, the Pastor, and even people in my old

Man! those are powerful words. Depending on what you follow them with, these two little words can lead you into a whirlwind of fear and worry, filled with nightmarish scenarios.

The one that wins is the one you feed. What will you choose this Christmas? What if... when I needed a

My son Daniel is in jail in Barnstable County, Massa­chusetts, for a crime he did not commit. Even the public defender has said he could not figure out why they picked my son up in the first place. The woman making the complaint claims that 21 years ago, when she was a child, she was molested by Daniel. It took her 21 years to recall all this.

I have been incarcerated almost three decades for attempted Capital Murder on a Police Officer (case No. 97-425.172). A crime that I did not commit.

It is so easy to get lost in loneliness. Loneliness can creep up on anyone at any time. Everyone has felt lonely at one time or another! When a loved one dies, or a person gets a divorce, or ends up homeless, they naturally encounter loneliness. Therapists call this situation loneliness because it is a temporary condition.

“Why are you always like this! You never listen to me. You never care about me. All you do is just think about yourself!” Resentment, anger, distrust, and pain fuel these statements. I believe it's safe to say that every single person has experienced conflict in their relationships.

With over 5,000 homes damaged or destroyed, mostly in one of the poorest areas of St. Louis, the need can feel overwhelming. But we remember how Jesus fed the 5,000 with just a few loaves and fish. I believe He can multiply your gift today to bring healing and hope to our city. 

How I thank God for your faithful partnership which has made such a big difference for good in the lives of so many homeless children, women, and men.

It is not those who have plenty of time to pray that do the most praying, but they who take the time.  O God! Take our hearts and compress within them that pure love from thine own heart that will cause us to pray. 

Staying calm in a chaotic world can at times prove to be a real challenge. Perhaps you are like me. When I have troubles coming at me from every direction, I have a tendency to get frustrated, upset, and anxious.
