I am quite disappointed to see that I have not blogged since June 15th. I was incredulous when my inspiration for blogging said it was so. So, I believe I owe the four or five of you an explanation.
I have been deeply involved with prison ministry this past month. I go every Sunday, Wednesday, and Saturday to give spiritual support, counsel, and fellowship to the inmates. They are a great group of men. I am very drawn to the ministry there and really wish I did not have to leave. These men are hungry for answers. They also desire to be seen as human beings. There is a terrible loss of dignity when you are an inmate. I hope that the few hours I have with them will help restore that dignity which comes from being made in the image and the likeness of God.
I only have a few weeks left. I know the men will miss us and we them, so I am trying to find someone to fill in for me when I return to classes. Please take the time to pray for them. It's not an easy life, especially if the rest of it will be in prison.

Thanks for the update, Chant. It is good to know that your absence from bloggerland was neither wanton nor meaningless. Give the mates a found "Cheerio"!
