You are giving me, and others, a real story to counter the stereotypes & the negativity that you hear in the media about inmates.<br/>You are courageous for sharing your battles, admitting your flaws, and wanting to work your way through your current trials. Thank you for sharing your "reality." I think of you all often and will be praying for you. Randi, (& the other women who post on this site),

My son is a drug addict and he's 38. If you stop now, your life will be so good! I pray that what ever is God's will will happen! Maybe probation?? <br/><br/>I agree with your sister about you being safer in prison. The times my son has been in jail, I have been the most relaxed because I knew where he was and that he was safe. God hold you in His arms! Randi, I just want you to know that I’m praying for you. My son is a drug addict and he’s 38. If you stop now, your life will be so good!

I agree with your sister about you being safer in prison. The times my son has been in jail, I have been the most relaxed because I knew where he was and that he was safe. God hold you in His arms!

Maybe a little on the annoying side...but not BAD. :) Just kidding! <br/><br/>But I am with you, sister! As much as I would love for you to rat out every drug dealer in town so you could come home and be happy and healthy and well-fed...etc, etc...as soon as possible......<br/><br/>Part of me would rather you not. For a number of reasons. <br/><br/>1. I feel like justice will be served for those who continue to break the law. Whether it is a earthly justice or an eternal one. And though, I do believe that our friends and aquaintances can strongly influence our decision making - we are still the ones who ultimately MAKE that decision. <br/><br/>2. You seem a lot safer in prison that out in harms way with a bunch of really bad people after you for ratting them out. I know this may sound selfish: but I would rather be able to communicate with you through letters and by phone for a few years than have to wait a lifetime till we are chillin' in heaven to talk with you. I'm just sayin!<br/><br/><br/>I want you home with us so badly - but you stick to what you believe. Hold tight to the truth. And you will have God's protection and mercy and love surrounding you all the way.<br/><br/>Love you. I just want to say that Randi was not a BAD kid.

Part of me would rather you not. For a number of reasons.

1. I feel like justice will be served for those who continue to break the law. Whether it is a earthly justice or an eternal one. And though, I do believe that our friends and aquaintances can strongly influence our decision making – we are still the ones who ultimately MAKE that decision.

I know this may sound selfish: but I would rather be able to communicate with you through letters and by phone for a few years than have to wait a lifetime till we are chillin’ in heaven to talk with you. I’m just sayin!

I want you home with us so badly – but you stick to what you believe. Hold tight to the truth. And you will have God’s protection and mercy and love surrounding you all the way.

Love you.
