Sorry for lateness. It was a very busy weekend.
Well worth the wait as Matthew, (Renewing Fatherhood, Sheridan) gives a praise of answered prayer of his son visiting after 21 months and as does Dominic (Discipleship, Sheridan) on an apparent reconciliation with his daughter's mother.
May Jerame (Renewing Fatherhood, Sheridan) be blessed with an answer of prayer as he struggles in missing his daughter's birthday and not seeing his children in 30 months.
Another prayer of praise, Kent, a long time SOCPM student, who was paroled on November 17, 2014 has successfully completed parole.
To Him be the glory.

Also those of us that are struggling with the daemonic beasts that are controlling or tempting our spirit to stay away from God. May you pray for all to come to Christ to find His forgiving love and light and warmth that heels are cold heart. I like to ask that more denominations of Christ would come together to fellowship on the outside without prejudice like we inmates do in here. Please pray for this to happen! I like to ask that blessings be prayed for those inmates that are and will have the prison or jail that they seek and continue to our blessings of the Lord. Maybe they find forgiving church to help them with that. I would like to ask for prayers for those that pray and go into prisons and jails to teach and share the word to inmates.Thank you from your brother in Christ.

A praise, my daughter's mother and me have spoken as well as my daughter too, and let me tell you that it, meaning the conversation, was something only imagine. We had a few conversations that were really powerful and meaningful and I praise God for that I pray that he continues to go well for us and not fall back into an emotional roller coaster. I told her I was done with the relationship and in faith gave it to the Lord and trust in Him. A while later this is the result, I'm very happy and look forward to seeing what else the Lord has for us as a family in store, I thank you for your prayers. It means a lot it really does work so I think God for your prayers and I will keep you in mind, the Lord knows who's interceded on our behalf and I trust and have faith that if we that we will meet in heaven or on earth.
