Christmas behind RAZORWIRE

Hey everyone,

We pray that you all had a very Merry Christmas and that your upcoming New year is glorious.

Today was filled with travels to each of our parent's homes. Mine then my husband's, and the Sister-in laws. The best part of the entire Christmas Day. Well, it was going to a ricketty Old Chapel singing Christmas carols, and giving the Christmas message to men that like us Loved GOd.

 Here we are dressed up from the day with a message to give, and songs and prayers to bring. But these men came with Hug smiles, clothing State issued, clunky ole shoes from the state, in a pukey color. That matched the clothing so I guess that we can say they were color coordinated.

So we sat in a circle, listened to one of our Brothers on an Old Piano play as we all sang to the most beautiful Christmas Songs. Many of which we all grew up listening to as a child. Some how that over time you stop singing them. How about you do you remember any of these old songs? Did you sing out your Heart this Christmas? Or Hannuka? Whatever celebration that you had this time of year


The drummer Boy. Silent Night, The First Noel, Away in A Manger, We three kings of orient, Have yourself a Merry little Christmas, there was at least 8 or 10 more. What a blast! One of the guys were using a maramba to shake. Well I am going to try to sleep 10 pounds heavier than I was before the Holidays began.
God's SPecial Blessings to all of you,
Blessed and my Husband

Hi Tahir,
The inmates were alot of fun! I Apologize! My message wasn't very clear before about the men and how they were Soooooooo glad to be in Chapel instead of watching TV. Christmas. We only had 4 guys out of a 2000 dormitory jailhouse. But it goes to show you GOd is working in the Hearts of these Men.

By for now Blessed
