Papa's in the Pen

While I conducted my usual Tuesday evening prison ministry, my wife decided to attend a local home sales party. Our 15-year-old daughter, Faith, was at home and later told us about a call she had taken from one of our church members. It went like this:

"Hello, is your father home?"

"No, he's in jail," Faith said.

"Well, then, is your mother home?"

"No, she's at a party."

The church member still reminds us of that call.
