Book Teaser - first night after jail sentencing:

That night, when I got back to my cell, I prayed hard. I said, "Father, all this time I have been staying positive, leading the people to you, but I don't think I can do this. Save me." The next morning, my prayers were answered! My name was called, and when I made it to the door, the deputy asked, "Do you want to be a trustee?" I didn't know what in the world a trustee was, but I replied, "Yes! " I took the six steps I had prayed for. Right outside the doors of the holding unit was the trustee unit. Over there, you were assigned an area of the facility to clean and/or work. In return, you were allowed to drink coffee or punch all day and they brought out cookies three times a day. I quickly learned that punch and cookies were a luxury in the jail system, and back in Wyoming I had started a fast: no punch or cookies for me -- but the coffee was very appealing. You also got to watch TV all day, use the phone whenever you wanted to, and go to bed later than over in the holding unit ... It was like a mini heaven. I really knew God had me on a mission once I learned that it usually takes three to six weeks to become a trustee, and people would sit in that holding unit for a month before being transferred. God used me, and I'm glad, because I didn't know what I would do if I had to stay there. However, I would soon find out . . .
