All of this means I am running in every direction at once, wearing many hats, and trying to keep it all organized and headed in the same direction. But I really don't mind. Not if we accomplish our purpose this week. Actually, it's a two-fold purpose:
- We want to lift up Jesus for all to see. He really is the reason we do all that we do here. This week is about pointing the inmates and their families to the Savior, plain and simple. No game-playing or pretense. It's all about Him.
- We want daddies to begin to think and act like daddies. Take responsibility. Realize that their children desperately need them to be clean and sober and at home to provide for them and to love them instead of being locked-up.
If a plate of food and a few gifts can help to accomplish that, well then all of the running around, and buying, and organizing, and just plain hard work will be worth it, won't it?
If you think of it, pray for us this week.
