Prison Love: Hanging on or letting go Well, this seems to be a pretty sensitive subject to talk about today. First off, my thanks to those who have been emailing me recently about my blogs, and those who have asked how to support it. I actually should be writing more on these issues, but those of you...

Prison Adjustment pt3 So let’s see if we can finish this discussion on how to adjust your life with a loved one in prison. If you missed the first two parts, you will want to jump back and check those out. In the first part I identified three different modes of though that many of us may fall in...

Prison Adjustment pt 2 Originally the title of this piece was much longer, but I shortened it to “Prison Adjustment”. I think I originally called it “Adjusting with a loved one in prison”, so if you read that one, this is the second part to that. What I want to try to do is touch...

Prison Issues: Power of Writing Today it is just after 11am on a Labor Day, after a pretty hard night. Many of you read my blog on “Faith’s Breaking Point”, which I actually posted just after midnight. Last night was pretty rough, and I probably took the wrong medication for my neck...

When faith hit’s the breaking point. I had no intentions of blogging today… But yet here I am. Not because of one situation, but rather several. One, I got a headache and neckache from sitting in on of our chairs today. I keep forgetting that that chair is like a torture chamber on my neck...

Prison isolation isn’t always bad Well, we have a rainy Monday morning…awesome! I always liked rainy days, it seems kinda more mellow. At this time of year, it also means that we are about to step out of the summer and into fall. To me, that means cooler weather, college and pro football...

“Lockdown” and “Shakedown” I think this is my 4 th post today, either I am really pissed off at something or I got that urge to write…if you read my previous 3 posts, you might get an idea. But with college football nearing the start, I am really excited. I just finished...

When you feel miserable This particular post is for those who have done time and are back in society, or those with loved ones who are in prison, but will return to society soon. I realize the word, “soon” is very relative, but I leave that to the discretion of the reader. I am writing this...

Remembering my time in prison As I get more emails and comments on my blogs or from sites I share posts on, I try to keep things in some sort of perspective, but also understand what I am trying to do. I have to keep telling folks that I am not trying to glorify prison, not by any stretch, but we have...

Prison Release Anxiety **Note: This blog originally started late last night** Well, it is almost midnight as I sulk: UNC AND UCLA lost! I was pulling for UCLA because I used to live in Los Angeles, and I pull for UNC because I have always liked them. I have nothing against Memphis and Kansas, and wish...

Prison Encouragement Certificates “Not out of necessity or grudgingly but with heart” There is a reason I put that up there, which actually comes from a scripture. The actual scripture is from 2nd Corinthians, Chapter 9, verse seven that goes: “Every man according as he purposeth in...

Let’s talk prison. I had not really expected to blog anymore tonight, but I was reading some email and saw a comment from my Wordpress blog and wanted to talk about it. I think maybe we can talk through some things and help a few people today. The comment came from “Prison 101, part 8”...

What can a mother do when he is in prison? This is a pretty strong title, because there implies that either there is nothing a mother can do, or something a mother can do, when her son or daughter is sent to prison. I want to explore that in a minute, to see what we can do to help some of you. Even though...

If I am going to blog here, I have to feel that I am giving you my best inside of an hour of writing. Even for stories like the one I recently shared, I have to mix in a lot of truth with some fiction to help you understand that even the stories we share are based off truth. That story is a very strong...
