Can you spare some time? Just a couple moments to say a prayer?
I'm heading back into prison tonight to lead the women in a bible study on the early church. I'm in over my head, but I just love being there anyway. I cannot stop coughing loudly and that pretty much messes up my speaking ability.
Will you prayer for this group of 30 women tonight? Some know the Lord and some are just getting introduced.The women there pretty much KNOW they need Jesus. Rather refreshing.
Worshipping with this group is an experience you can only get with a group of ladies who are broken sinners and prisoners. Singing "Amazing Grace My Chains are Gone" and "I Will Wait Upon the Lord" take on new dimensions behind bars.They have lost everything and cling to Jesus.
Did I mention I love being there?
If you are looking for Jesus, by the way, you might try prison sometime.
Thank you for praying.

I tried to leave a comment earlier but blogger was down. Sorry if you get this twice!
I would love to hear more about your prison ministry... have you blogged about it before that I could go back and read?
Every time I come here I have MAJOR blog template envy. LOVE IT.
Diane,
I am praying for you and the women. God has a way of always giving us what we need *a voice and break from coghing* just at the right times! I can't wait to hear how it goes.
I'm sure you are hospitable, and I pray I didn't offend you! I know hospitality exists out here...I just haven't found much of it, YET!
Hey--I read this too late, but I hope you felt better!

I'm late reading too, but I do hope everything went well.
You are so amazing, I'm sure you helped bring hope and the Word of the Lord to the women. I can't even imagine what it must be like being in their shoes. But, to know someone cares enough to bring them hope and the Word must mean so much to them.
