I'm heading out to visit Tom at the Jennifer Road Detention Center. It will be my first visit to this facility, so I'm a little unsure of the process. Today will be about learning. I would appreciate your prayers.
Last night when I put my daughter to bed we prayed for Tom. I prayed that he would be able to sleep well in a new place. Sydney asked what it meant to be in jail. I explained, and I shared that I would be going to visit him. As I did I had a deep question come to my mind, "What would you do if Jesus were being held at Jennifer Road?" How often would I visit? What would I do to help his stay? What would I talk about to bring him comfort?
That's what has been on my heart overnight. Doing something about it today.
By the way, I will be finding out the details of how to write letters to Tom. I do know he can receive mail, so I just need to find out the procedure. I will be in touch with those who have signed up for the Letter Guild. If you would like to sign up to write a letter to Tom about your faith, please sign up by clicking HERE.
