Good for you in listening as you feel Him leading you! Allison, praying for your son during this journey, that God will lead the right people/influences and that the end of the story will be one of rising above prison and being able to sing like Paul and Silas!

I know your mother's heart is being torn in half. I pray that will God carry you every step of the way and that beauty will come from these ashes. I also pray for your son's safety and spiritual growth during this time. (((h))) Jan Allison,

I've had the privilege of seeing God woo her back to Him over the last 8 months. She's growing. Changing. Becoming more like Him. I sooo agree. Prison is one of God's sanctuaries. I'll pray for Chris today that he and God meet there. And have an amazing time together. Allison,

I remember something that an inmate I corresponded with once wrote. He said: Many people are in prison. For some, it's behind prison walls. For others, its the other side. Chris will find peace and God where God finds Chris. I believe it. Eva Allison,

But as you have so eloquently described, God is still present, no matter where we are. The Bible says God is close to the broken hearted. May you and your son be keenly aware of that close presence.

You were the beginning of my writing journey…my first major publishing credit was in a God Allows Turns’ book which changed the course of my life. I first blogged on the GAUT blog site (not actually knowing what a “blog” was), and now for the past fifteen months I’ve been part of the Boomer Babes Blog Team (what a ride it has been!). Making the decision to spend the next two years with my family and extended family was a choice of the heart. In fact, as I watched my son and husband in a triathlon on Sunday, I realized I was there because there was no other place on earth I would rather be. And now as I plan to spend more time with my folks in California, I realize it too is a choice of the heart. As Dorothy in the Wizard of Oz says, “There’s no place like home!” On April 12th of this year, I celebrated 12 years of cancer survivorship, and how thankful I am to have accomplished everything on my passionate to-do list, except “spend more time with my family.” I recently listened to Randy Pausch (professor at Carnegie Mellon) who gave his “Last Lecture” on the Oprah Winfrey Show. If you haven’t seen it, I encourage you to listen to it: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=trplwjVwt7g What struck me most about his lecture was he never intended to give it to the students at Carnegie Mellon; it was only meant for three people (his children!). His closing thoughts were, “If you live your life well, your dreams will come to you!” Technically, I’m not leaving you…I’m just “dreaming” along with you! A GREAT BIG BOOMER HUG TO ALL OF YOU! Connie   P.S. I'll be posting comments from time to time. How could I not? After all, I'm the "Comment Queen"! Thanks, Allison!

The forest, the ocean, a prison cell and the faces & praises of his people...all excellent examples of where God abides. We sang a song at church a few weeks ago, "how great is our God!" He is! I'm actually getting excited about the rain that is coming here in my part of TX today. I think that's where God abides too -- refreshing the earth, and "speaking" in cracks of lightning and claps of thunder - He reigns and roars! Allison and Eva,
