- What's your story, God? Opening Prayer God, I still have so much to learn about you, myself, my world.I know I don't say it enough, but thank you for all that you've done in my life so far and for all that I get to have and experience because of you. Even though at times it feels like you are very distant, and I question why you would allow bad things to happen, I'm sure you are working in ways that I do not always see or understand. So please help me to be more aware of the good things you are doing and how I fit into your eternal "story" here and now.

- We are like a conscience for the justice system. There has been a tendency over the last twenty to thirty years for the justice system to respond to crime by passing more laws, harsher laws and harsher penalties. The John Howard Society says "Let's look at the evidence. What do we want to accomplish? How do we make our communities safer?" The federal government really hasn't helped with things that prevent young people from getting involved in crime:things like adequate housing, jobs, literacy,food in your belly,things like that. These are pretty fundamental things, and they're missing from the lives of many people who end up on the wrong side of the law. For every dollar spent on programs to prevent crime-like community development and recreation for young people-society would save 7 to 20 on the justice system that deals with crime. Prevention makes good sense economically, it makes good sense socially, and it's the right thing to do But it's not the politically popular thing to do Politicians want something quick and easy. They want to win the next election.
