Happy New Year!

The first weekend of the New Year found us “marrying off” our youngest son. It was a great family celebration! Carl had the blessing of being the Pastor performing the wedding and each one of our family, including the grandchildren, participated in the ceremony. Great fun! Great joy!
Then, during the first of the week, we came home via the institutions at Stanley and New Lisbon. At Stanley we visited 11 men and the next day at New Lisbon we visited 14 men. It was then on to Taycheedah for 8 more visits! We were tired, but grateful and blessed!
From those we visited we heard many different stories: some were excited, some we worried, some were lonely, some were rejoicing, some needed money, some needed to hear from family and friends. When you visit 33 incarcerated people in three days, you hear the gambit of ups & downs. God is doing His work in those behind the bars! Thanks for your prayers.
