Murray Unit was on their scheduled bi-annual lockdown.  We had 7 volunteers and 29 ladies at Woodman.  It was a good night.  The ladies share so openly in small groups.  Elza, who has been coming since the very first meeting is going home this week as well as 3 others.  Several more will be leaving next month.  Most are going back to the same situations that they left.  You know how it goes...pray for them.  Pray for Jan as she begins the first steps in preparation for Murray #1.  Pray also for the Lockhart ladies who have just begun their journey of 4th days.
