Merry Christmas Eve

Greetings from the South Carolina coast. Mom and I have spent the Yunpast 4 days with our friends, May and Kevin Adams at Litchfield Beach. It has been a delightful time of shell gathering, casual shopping, game playing, puzzle assembling and good eating. The weather has been great, cool but sunny. We are so grateful for me and their inviting us to join them. We are all headed back to our respective homes today.

There has been some activity regarding Peter. He attempted  call me on Friday from the office of my liaison Jeanie at the jail. I missed the call and the voicemail would not go through. I spoke with Jeanie later for some time and that was helpful. I put money on an account so he can call me. However that system currently is glitchy and Peter's attempts to call yesterday did not get through. I was unable to get help on the phone to resolve it. If he can't reach me before Tuesday, Jeanie said she would again try to get him in her office to call me.

Peter is on oral medication and doing better. Jeanie said she even saw him smile when he was in her office. Improvement could lead to the competency test being canceled and an earlier release happening. Although this is good , my continued concern is that he will be released without anywhere to go. My other concern is that there aren't really any obvious options as for a place he can go. I really appreciate Jeanie and her honesty about what could happen as well as her efforts to do whatever she can to help, even though she's limited.

My faith is weak. But the bible says I don't need much. I continue to hope and trust that God will provide in his perfect time. I pray that God will use this time in jail forPeter's  good. That there will be people who show him kindness and the love of God. 

Merry Christmas to you and your family. Thank you so much for being part of our journey.
