It's already been 18 days with him there..time is going by fast some days..slow other days.I spoke with Phil today..He is still in very good spirits..he has read 3 books so far while being in there..One of which he has previously read(Prayer of Jabez..mutually our favorite book!)

I missed 3 of his calls earlier by taking Mother Dearest her car back..since my radiator is completely broken and out of the car..we are w/o a way to get around until the new one gets here..which has already been taken care of weeks ago,but just on back order.Sometimes I wish Pontiac wasn't phasing out..because it will be tougher for us to get parts..even though the car isn't but 9 yrs old.I told him while talking with him it would be here tomorrow(as I have been for the past 2 weeks..lol)and he was pretty happy.

He also has been praying extremely hard for the miracle we need to get him home.I told him about all the things we are doing on the outside(Prayer Requests,Starting a online fundraiser,a Myspace page(add us-Operation Justice as the username),I also have been keeping his loved ones and friends updated via his FB page(I told him I was uncomfortable doing it and then put a status up that I wouldn't be updating from there anymore..then ended up doing it because he wanted people to come here..so I was being the doting wife doing what he wanted..)and doing whatever I can to get his story out..and hopefully get TONS of prayer and well wishes and whatever God lays on someone's heart to say or do..As one of our friends said earlier..she was blessing us and she believes totally in it being returned by God for blessing someone else.I actually feel a little embarrassed by doing a fundraiser..but since I barely know anyone here in this state,much less this town..plus his family has been very busy with Youth Revival this week..I decided to pray and step out on faith and go with the first idea that came to my mind after talking with my Father.

The idea:1000 people..5 dollars..2 days. I don't even know if I know 1000 people.But just think..if 10 people individually....told a group of 10 more people,etc..you get the drift.And if that happened a few times..that would be a LOT of prayers and a LOT of blessings..but more than that..we would be able to pay the attorney what we owe him..Even more than that..I would give him EVERYTHING,even if it came out to more than what we expected..just to have my husband home for Father's day..that would be the best thing ever right now.That,and winning the lottery..Which I can't do,since I don't have a dime..and I am a Child of the King.Can't do that!! That was one of the 1st things my MIL told me when I became born again.."No more of that lottery-playing mess for ya'll!"Phil and I weren't even caring..because we became blessed beyond measure after we gave our lives to God and were not backsliding anymore.I have to admit..those quick $20 and $100 here and there when we scratched WERE easy..but I couldn't keep mine long,nor could he.We always went right back and bought more.All I know is this.No matter how I keep changing the subject,or how much I blog or MS or FB..the thought in my mind constantly aside from God..is "Lord,I HAVE to get his attorney paid ASAP for my baby to prove his innocence..What can I do today as his wife and other half to get this done?I have no credit..cause it is SHOT..I have no co-signer..cause every one that said they would has worse credit than mine..or excellent credit and is lying everyday saying they will but dosen't and they don't answer my calls and ignore me..OR is too selfish to help..OR just CANT.Lord,please PLEASE help me..My babies miss their daddy..I miss my baby..and his family and friends miss him too!"That is ALWAYS on my mind.So much,in fact..that I get about 4 hours of sleep every night because I am either thinking,praying,praying in the prayer journal,or trying to come up with ideas.

So..all of you out there..even though you haven't followed yet..either because you don't have a acct. here or because you don't do this type of thing..or better yet..You came here because you heard about his story..or saw it..or you know us..

PLEASE do Phil this one favor.Not even me.Phil..our babies who want their daddy home..our church who wants their Future Pastor home..His parents,who want their Baby Son home..Our Family and friends,who want him home..PLEASE..Open your heart and your mind..and clear your thoughts.Pray for him and pray hard.Pray for the MIRACLE that will BREAKTHROUGH and get him HOME for Father's day.Also pray on whatever else God wills you to do.Will it be to simply spread the word amongst everyone...or to pray daily for him...or even to donate?I would only want you to be one of the 1000 to give 5 dollars if God has told you to.More or less,even.But all I ask is please..TRY to find it in your heart..help Phil find 1000 people to give 5 dollars..or whatever they wish.Long as I can walk in that Attorney's office in a couple of days,with my head held high,thanking God that this attorney is going to get my husband's innocence proven and he will be home;to be awaken with breakfast in bed and Bible Study with our Marriage Bible on Sunday morning,surrounded by 2 kids in diapers,and 1 excited,hyper 7 1/2 yr old girl who made her daddy a drawing for Father's day and Welcome home at the same time. Long as my father in law can experience joy and a swelled heart,seeing his youngest son and 5th of 6 children walk in that church praising the walls off,along with me and his mother..Long as Phil is free to do those things and not be there on Father's day,eating horrible food,wishing and thinking of us,and crying on the other end of the phone with me,as I cry because this is his first Father's Day in 5 yrs he hasn't been home..I will be okay as well as he will.

**Be one of the 1000..please,Donate..and/or Pray..Hopefully and Prayerfully both.**

I leave you tonight,with a verse from the scripture I am about to read before trying to sleep...Psalm 103:6."The Lord works righteousness and justice for all the oppressed."

Thank you for taking the time to come by..and may you have a blessed night.Please,leave well wishes,prayers for Phil in the comments when you come by.And if you find it in your heart to be one of those who donates,please either add us on Myspace..or Twitter us on @justice4Phil..or leave a comment.If you do and wish not to be known..we will pray for you regardless.

God bless you all..and until tomorrow...Sweet and blessed Dreams!
