A NEW NAME FOR THE JOINT

They call it the penitentiary. Or prison. Some call it the pen. Or it’s the Big House. Or jail. Or the pokey.

But after a police officer came to Maddy’s preschool and gave an age-appropriate presentation on criminal justice, we now have a new nickname we like:

“Grownups’ Time Out.”

If they would rewrite all our criminal laws and restructure our corrections system to reflect that name and the compassionate attitude that goes with it, offenders might get a lot more of what they need to quit doing bad things.

Moms and dads already know that milk, cookies and a quiet little chat can do wonders to soothe the savage beast.

Prayer request: Eden’s softball team was supposed to start districts today, but it’s raining off and on. Father, whenever the games get under way, we pray for Eden and her teammates and coaches to compete with excellence. Oh, Lord, be Thou their arm! (Isaiah 33:2)
