Hello to All of You!
I hope you are enjoying this season of Spring, and the new life that is beginning to bud. To every one of the Christian faith, I trust that you had a wonderful celebration of the death, burial, and resurrection of our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ. To our Jewish friends, I pray that the Passover celebration, with your family and friends, is an enjoyable and treasured time.
This will be my last letter From the President’s Desk.
I wanted to say “thank you,” for allowing me to serve in the capacity of both vice president and president of the PPCA Executive Committee over the last three years.
At the end of June, I will be leaving the Department of Corrections (DOC).
The Lord has impressed on me not to renew my contract. I knew when I took the job that I wouldn’t be a DOC contract vendor forever. So, I’m stepping out in faith, and obeying what God has spoken to me.
When I turn in my keys for the last time I know it won’t be easy. Prison has been good to me and good for me. If you had told me 10 years ago that those words would ever come out of my mouth, I would have said you were crazy!
But prison has opened my eyes to a world I didn’t know anything about, and to many wonderful people of different faiths. If God had not allowed me this journey, I would still have tunnel vision in many areas.
It has been a pleasure and an honor to serve alongside the members of the PPCA committee. You are a wonderful group of people, and my husband, Donnie, and I will miss each of you. Keep up the good work!
To each of you chaplains who serve on the front lines every day, I salute you and hold you in high regard for the job you do. You will remain in my heart and in my prayers.
Again, thank you for allowing me to be a part of something Great!
Peace and Blessings,
Chaplain Brenda Libreatori
