Thank you, David, for sending this message into my home and my awareness. While sheltering in the comfort of home as we're asked to help prevent the spread of a disease by limiting our social contacts and activities, our daily routines have changed and we each have this opportunity to rethink what's most important. To be confined in this way can be a life- changing opportunity for self-improvement. My own shifts in thinking and doing are happening slowly, but they're happening. Chaplain Holliday's story today reminds me to include in my prayers the people whose life-changing opportunities to rethink what's important is going on in much more strict and less comfortable confinement. Although for different reasons, they, too, are in their confinement worthy of blessing and improvement.

I find that I only know what's going on outside my home through phone calls and email and Zoom meetings I'm invited to and through the media I choose and that's delivered to me. I'm glad you and your team and the chaplain contributors post these stories and give the opportunity to subscribe so that your reminders of the work to help people in prisons and detention centers come to me by email.

I'm grateful that we have the loving and prayerful support of chaplains and God to guide us. I say we and us instead of they and them because it is as much our work and for the benefit of us all that this work is going on in the prisons. Thanks to all the chaplains.
