When All Hell Breaks Loose

When all hell breaks loose its time to pay close attention because heaven is on the way! As you know, I am in prison, have been for going on 17 years now. Over the years I have seen over and over again All Hell Break Loose. It seems like just as "things" are going well, I am walking in joy, being useful, a blessing and not a curse, all hell would break loose.

It just recently broke loose here in san Quentin, at least in my San Quentin. "My" San Quentin was the church. Well our choir leader recently invited a new church member to join the choir, then back to his cell for some drugs and sex! The choir leaders victim reports this to the chplain who responds by asking the choir leader to step aside....for a few weeks! The another "leader" I find keeping watch while two non community members use our chapel library for an illicit meeting...during our worship services! Add to all this, the chpalians "brown Card Volunteer" for the New Hope LGBQ Group is arrested on his way to our church smuggling drugs in!

Now, I do not much like being negative, but this church was my whole world, I was there up to six days a week. It was home. Drama I can deal with, illegal & illicit activity, not so much. So I broke up with my Church and it hurts bad. But as I thought and prayed about this it came to me, God is able. Able to what? I am not sure what can be done, but I am sure He can do it, whatever "it" is, amen. :) It's now been a few weeks and I am getting back to normal, which for me is quite unreasonable joy. :) I have actually developed this annoying little, spontaneous, dance step as I walk. :) The joy I carry just seems to break out in any way it can. :)

So, I am fine, but please pray for "Chapel A-San Quentin" because all hell has broken out there! But I am watching, and am confident Heaven is on the way, amen.

Speaking of heaven, an angel has provided the means, so I hope to begin to post often, hope to hear from you too. Please post comments, lots of comments. Stay strong and stay sober and keep watching, heavens on the way!!!!

Love & Prayers
