We just finished leading a marriage class in Kegans. We do it in four weeks. Of the nine couples that signed up (by the inmate husbands) six woman said yes. Four came the first week. There was only one very young couple here for the last session.
We usually do not say much but today they got a lot of wisdom from us both before the last taped session and after.
The wife went through all the channels and got delivery of Pizza Hut (the best!!) pizza delivered to the jail. WOW
So we had three large pizzas and a box of BBQ wings for a birthday party for the husband. She had thought at least one other couple would make it. I and the husband ate too much and still we left one whole pizza in the guard lunchroom and the wife took home about half a pizza.
Finishing the class felt like a relief and yet also some satisfaction for the couple who seemed to have gotten a lot out of it. They both left inspired to teach what they learned to others. That is high praise.
The man celebrated his 23rd birthday, so he is very young. The wife looks to be the same. They have two children ages 2 and 1. Prayers for their future are very appropriate.
Tonight we plan to go to a big Christmas open house hosted by a church member. It should be festive.
Oh, right now I am grilling some meat to eat over the next week.
