Warriors Cross

From Charles around 2pm today.

HI WIFE, crap day we have been locked down since last night. eating in our cells. three men to a cell one eating on the floor since there is no stool in our cell that means one inmate eats within a foot of a common toilet. this all came about because of a random search last night where the c.o.'s took it upon themselves to remove commissary purchased items that belonged to people. when the sgt. in charge declined to admit to the plethora of missing items he was called a lier by an inmate. that inmate was promptly removed from the pod tossed on the ground and handcuffed and taken to the hole. the cpl incharge then informed us that we would be spending the next day in our cells. so the moral of this story is buy stuff from commissary at a high price..let the c.o.'s throw it away for lack of something to do, then use group punishment to crank up the bad energy in the pod while not taking responsibility for stealing property of the inmates. if they cant train, or accept responsibility for the wrongs they do why do they want a new jail? a new building will not fix what is wrong with the deputies in this one. they need to have a civilian oversight committee or a grievance system that you are not threatened for the use of. from the captain to the chaplain to the common c.o. this facility is broken. and what's worse is the fact that they turn off all comments on the page so others can join in.

Sometimes being a Christian means making waves..

I beheld and witnessed.

I stopped by a local church some time back and saw something that bothers me even today.

This individual crossed the church lobby, placed his Bible on a trash can, and went into a restroom. There it was, the most powerful book known to man, sitting on a trash can. Well, I went over and picked the Bible up and held onto it until the person came to retrieve it.

As the person came out of the bathroom and began casting about looking for their Bible. I approached and handed them back the Bible with a smile.

That is when I meet the Devil. The indignation of the person was palatable, and hatred could be easily realized in the individuals face. There was tangible hatred emanating from this person.

A very well-spoken and dressed Devil it was.

May the Lord keep you safe.
God bless you all
