prison ministry

Ya Know,
I am just starting this blog and I have no idea what I am doing yet. I just have this passion for changed lives!!
I had an attitude of what a mother who's son was in jail must be like... well in the end I was one of those moms!! Man did my point of reference change.

Now I know first hand that those men in there are someones son, father, brother and friend.
I want to give them a face and a voice. The voice my son never had.

I don't know how we can expect for these men to get pitched out of prison. Have no job, court fees to pay, parole rules to follow, no drivers license and tell them to be successful and don't come back!! This is just insane!!!

The system does not work for the post- incarcerated person who really wants to change their lives. I want to do what I can to help. Even if that just means being a voice for those who need to be herd.
I know recovery, I love being a a follower of Jesus Christ who struggles with alcohol addiction and co-dependency. I believe God has allowed me to go straight to the bottom so I had to look up to ask Him for the help I needed. And to feel what some others may also feel.

So this is just the first ramblings on my blog. I am sure I will get more organized in thought and writing soon enough. I just wanted to get started!
