A New Life Transformed

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on A New Life Transformed

It’s been a while since I blogged about things happening around here, so I thought I would give you an update on someone the Father has brought into my life. I’m still teaching a Bible study on Wednesday nights and we’re currently...

S. Slow Down

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on S. Slow Down

Well, the saga of my life here at the Marion Prison “Resort” continues! There is no heat anywhere in the camp and I feel like a toucan that has been stripped of his colorful feathers, sent into solitary confinement in a glacier prison in...

L. Listen

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on L. Listen

In our effort to increase our spirit man’s maturity so as to be truly able to become all we are destined to be in Messiah, we are finally coming to the place where the rubber meets the road. In the last article, I spent considerable time talking...

O. Observe

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on O. Observe

We have slowed down our lives and carved out time for our King. We have pressed into the spirit, praying like we have never prayed before. We have listened more intently to His still, small voice. Now comes the fun part. Now we start “tracking”...

W. Wait

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on W. Wait

The last letter in our acronym S.L.O.W. is “W,” which stands for “Wait on the Lord.” In a fast-paced society where red means stop, green means go, and yellow means go very fast so you beat the red, going slow, listening, observing,...

Let Them Steal!

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Let Them Steal!

Have you ever felt like Pharaoh after the land of Egypt had been ravished by plagues? I know I have. I will never forget that back in 2015, about a month or two into my prison sentence, I came back to my cell only to find it completely destroyed....

I’M ALIVE!

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on I’M ALIVE!

Hello everyone! Long time no talk to! I think it has been over 5 months since I have really had the chance to write something and post on my own site. I have been on an insane journey these last 5 months, to say the least, filled with mountain top...

What Happened on 2/22!

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on What Happened on 2/22!

It started with deciding to fast on 2/21. I wanted to pray for everyone that was going to pray and fast for me on 2/22 since they were taking time out to pray for me. So by the time 2/22 came I was in my bunk ‪around 1 pm‬ and was just laying there...

Yom Kippur 2018…In Prison, but My Best One Yet!

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on Yom Kippur 2018…In Prison, but My Best One Yet!

Well, this is my third Yom Kippur in prison and it was not only the best Yom Kippur I’ve had here so far, it was the best Yom Kippur I have EVER had! As a matter of fact, it was such an extraordinary day that it made me feel like I’ve never celebrated...

My First Yom Kippur in Prison

Written by Jim Staley. No Comments on My First Yom Kippur in Prison

In my opinion, the words Yom Kippur and prison should not be found in the same sentence. But unfortunately, for now – in my world, at least – they do and that’s just the way it is. To be honest, every day here in prison has been like Yom Kippur....
