Well, it has been some time since I have written, which I must admit I have missed. I transferred to a different facility, a better place, but the transition has not been so easy. I have faced my own personal struggles and have had to adapt to a totally different program and group of people. […]

Start of a new week, began with an excellent Palm Sunday service yesterday that was done by Chaplain Hostler. We sang the song “Hosanna” by Hillsong United. Today is my first weekday off as the new Re-Entry Clerk. So as I wake up this morning, I get dressed for recreation and am on the first […]

I know that in all I do I can not do it alone. I know I will need the assistance of my family, so that we can do it all together as one unit. I know that I will need the help of my family to be a success. For so many years I did […]
Carolynne Noffsinger-04/14/2025-ASAP Blog Journal Entry
With a flurry of classes underfoot, this past week was a blur. I signed up for every FSA and ACE class that I could in order to get 15 days off per month of my sentence as well as lower my recidivism, and only had 2 offered (and completed) until this month. Now, I have […]

I think I mentioned that they shut the heat off to our building about ten days ago. Immediately after that, we had a cold snap. Most everyone has been sleeping with their clothes on to stay warm at night. This morning, I noticed that when they called “chow” for breakfast, hardly anyone went (maybe 20 […]

LUKE 19:37-40 (Luke 19:40) ” I tell you”, he replied, “if they keep quiet, the stones will cry out”. What message might God intend for you to take to heart?

Just like a distance run, you must be aware of your surroundings, the ground under your feet, and the road ahead. Eyes on the prize. When Santos says, ” to overcome any challenge it’s essential to keep your head in the game”, I get where his is coming from, a place like here, where the […]
