Stay strong always. One of the most difficult things to experience in life is the moment realization strikes us and we see for ourselves that the things and people in our lives aren't what or who we believed they were. Your opinions do matter, but offering them to someone that disregards them using the ruse of their false self proclaimed superiority, is a wasted effort. "Men are quick not to try." Really? It's easy to not see the single tree if you're busy looking at the entire forest! Keep your faith strong! NMW, Lord Dennis Fountain
Well, we Gaillards have a way of making sure things are never boring! God has grown us all so much and used our circumstances to reach others. It is a life i never thought would be ours, but we are still family, for better or worse. I am so fortunate to have grown up in a home full of love, support, and happiness. It is a solid foundation to raise my own son. My one complaint is that I have been grossly underrepresented in this blog-I look for future entries to be devoted solely to my wonderfulness. Make sure that happens...love always, your firstborn, Faith
Joe and I have been friends for 24 years, give or take.We taught me what I know about the game of pool.Still have the stick he sold me for $3 he picked up at a yard sale.
Joe is kind of my "therapist".It helps me writing out what happens to me during the week. And believe me, all kinds of stuff happens to me.
Mr. Joe, it truly brings tears to my eyes to hear your words. Although the years at NGU with Faith and i as roommates has been sometime, I still smile when I think of the memories we shared! I will always love your family and the way y'all made me feel like I was apart! I pray for you often! Amy Flynn :)
Mr Gaillard- I have wanted to meet you for quite a while now, but not being family has not made that possible. So as to not sound like a crazed stalker, I'll explain who I am and how I have grown to know you. Your daughter, Faith, and I are great friends! I have been around through this whole "ordeal" and have been blessed to be a prayer partner for her and your family. I am thrilled to be able to have this opportunity to share with you and to hear your story through your words. God has given us such a short time on this earth and Faith and Shannon, more lovingly called by my son (Quinn) as Nanna, have told me how you are reaching a lost society in prison with the saving knowledge of Jesus Christ! I am continuing to pray that HE uses you to HIS glory daily! Praying for you...
Joe, I am so happy that you have this wonderful opportunity to share your/our story with others. It's somewhat surreal to be communicating with you via e-mail. Reading your words feels me anew with gratitude that I was blessed to share my life with you. To all who read this...Joe Gaillard is a wonderful man. He loves and cares for his family. He was a wonderful husband, and our children are proof of the fact that he is a loving and supportive father. Joe has always been a hard-working man, and his hard work afforded us the luxury that I could be a stay-at-home wife and mother...my dream come true. For anyone who believes that "THIS couldn't happen to MY family", again, we are proof that it can. But we are also proof that "love endures all things". I am looking forward to your next post. I love you. Shannon
The openness and honesty of these words from your heart moves me. Never allow anyone to silence this. Two heads is not a freak! Two heads have twice the wisdom and twice the knowledge! Anyone trying to convince you otherwise is merely attempting to control you! You know your own feelings. Never let anyone convince you otherwise.
Independence is the ability to do what is right when everyone else has chosen differently. Independence is the right to stand up for your beliefs. Independence allows you to stand firm when the crowd has chosen to jump off the cliff. Independence allows you to make the jump of faith that you've made. Independence is a right reserved only for those who've decided not to alter or deny another's independence!

My class and I were wondering if you could draw us a picture of Cruella DeVil from the 101 Dalmatians. We really appreciate your artwork and it would be great if you could draw us a picture and tell us a little more about your experiences at the different prisons.
