Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot

Dad's Lessons from the Sandlot was written in 2006, two years before Billy Crain passed away suddenly on June 3, 2008. He never got the book published, but our family felt inpired and led by God to find a publisher and get the book in printed from. The book uses the transparency of Billy's baseball stories to expose God's hand in the details of our lives. The ultimate journey leads us to see God is in our stories and to train us to recognize it is really HIS STORY in our humanity. To order your copy today contact jennifercrain@sbcglobal.net.

My Inheritance-Part #2

It was January 1997 when I met the first group of guys in the IFI program. They were so happy to be in this safe environment. Several told me that this was the first time they had slept with both eyes shut since coming to prison. They were invited to transfer to this prison if they didn't
have a violent case since coming to prison. They were made aware of the content of the program and agreed to a mentor from the Houston or Dallas areas. The reason for the last critera was that Churches in these areas had agreed to provide mentors for these guys when they were released to give even more encouragement to get help before returning to the "old ways". We had a new group of guys to work with every four months. It was a great experience to watch them share what they had learned in the classes with their adult family members on Thursday nights. We saw reconciliation with parents,wives, sisters and brothers. God was always present. We were regularly asked,"why do you come here?"> It seemed so obvious to us, "Because, Jesus is here".

You need to give the Jesus in you away and then He comes back to you. It really works, try it.

I like that. You don't have to do any thing extra special ... just care like the samaritan, and not look the other way. I love you mom.
