Inspiring Words

      Friends of the GRCC Library set up a NLW bookmark contest similar to the one I did in 2009 but they  chose Inspiring Words instead of Positive Words as the theme.  We had as of last Thursday's deadline 62 entries and 2 disqualified.  Even something as simple as a bookmark contest in prison creates opportunity with whatever meager prizes available for some people to cross the line and break the rules.  Re-entry programs going on across Kentucky and encouraging progress aside there will always be one or two who do not open themselves to the message of rebuilding and the opportunity for something better.  Sad as it makes me I must celebrate the 62 entries that were sincere whether simple one word pieces of art or thoughtful choices of classic sayings.  Come back soon when I can announce the words of some of the winners - after the judging.
