Serenity NOW! (from David)

I have been wearing out the Serenity prayer lately. We got some new, young guys on the block and they don't seem to have the maturity and mellowness of some of us older folk. They tend to be loud, talk all night and just make noise often. I know jail isn't known for peace and quiet, but I would like to enjoy some sleep the 6 hours the lights are dimmed (not turned off) between 11:30pm and 5:30am.

So I have been asking God for the Serenity to accept the things I can quite regularly. It does seem to help. I don't get as frustrated, even at 2am when I'm still awake hearing Jr. yelling for no apparent reason. I've come to believe that as long as I'm willing to reach out and do my part, God more than lives up to his end of the deal. Thank God!

God bless,
David
