Well there's always the clean-up after a big event. Fuzzy and I loaded up the zillion blue totes this morning that are used to carry the Christmas Blessing Bags yesterday. Officer Jefferson was our NEW officer in charge during the delivery. She maintained a great attitude all day. 12 hours worth!! She gave all the glory to her coffee!!!! Thank you Officer Jefferson for your leadership and guidance. Girl power!!!

Thank you again to Love and Care for the use of these totes. A real blessing!!

The TEAM from Steps Recovery really shined yesterday delivering 3000 Christmas Blessing Bags. We showed them that they are not forgotten and told them GOD loved them!

We had a special guest. Darrell Morris, the black gentleman, spent years at this unit. He went through Kairos in 2013 and GOD changed his life forever. He received a degree in drug counseling and recently an award from the State for his work with the homeless. He was on a "natural high" all day seeing his old friends and passing out the same bags he received! That's a crazy story that only GOD could write!!! What a great day!!! Thank you to EVERYONE who helped us pull off this project. You are all ROCK STARS!

This morning we loaded all the Christmas Blessing Bags totes onto the 18 wheeler furnished by Dunagin Transport. Thank you to Bo Dunagin and Tom Grogan for handling this portion of the project for us. The men on the unit are SUPER EXCITED about their Christmas this Thursday. We are PUMPED! We have a great team of men from both Steps, Beltway and Kairos ready to hand the offenders their Christmas bags and tell them that GOD LOVES THEM!

What a FANTASTIC job our Christmas Blessing bag team did this morning! We had a little over 50 people show up to help. We literally went from product on the pallets, still in their boxes, to completing 2997 sacks ready for the 18 wheeler on Monday in just a little over TWO HOURS!!!!!!!!!!! Insane!!! Love and Care's CarePack system is a game changer. They helped us eliminate the cardboard boxes and paper sacks completely. Everyone had great time and their was real joy in the air.

Thank you again Love and Care Ministries for partnering up with Steps to create a stress free event we hope to continue for years to come. Matt Reynolds with Love and Care is fantastic. We can't say enough good things about his leadership and coordination today.

Thank you Beltway Park, Funeral Directors Investments and the others who gave generously that will provide the men on the Robertson TDCJ - French Robertson Unit a day of joy! There's a little JESUS in every bag!!!

Heather's testimony was fantastic. She says her "stinkin' thinkin' " kept her from being the woman GOD wanted her to be. Check out her story on our YouTube channel.

We are SO PROUD of Heather!!!

Heather says her "stinkin' thinkin' " lead her to make the same bad decisions with men and drugs over and over again. God kept pursuing her with different p...

We are just a few days away from the Christmas Blessing Bag fill day. Saturday morning will be here before we know it. Today Fuzzy and I delivered the 3000 bags of coffee (over $10K!!) that our AMAZING coffee angel crew put together over two evenings. Thanks again to all those who helped with that. We dropped off the coffee and added to our HUGE group of products stored at Love and Care. Thanks again to Matt for his help and expertise to revamp the assembly process of the bags.

Getting all the coffee ready for the Christmas blessing bag building day Dec. 13th! What a great team from Steps!!

Tonight was "coffee packing" night. In preparation for the Christmas blessing bag event, our AMAZING team from Steps showed up BIG! We break down the jars of instant coffee and package them in 3oz bags. 3000 of them was the goal. We got a little over 2600 filled, so we'll have one more short evening to finish it out. We do this because it saves us money, God's money! Being good stewards of HIS money is important. The coffee alone this year is over $10,000!!!!

Thank you to everyone who showed up to help. It is always a joyous night and we have a blast. Lots of work but totally worth it. Fuzzy is WORN OUT by the end of the night playing trash man! There is a LOT OF TRASH generated!!!

We are SUPER EXCITED to announce that we now have a really cool website for Steps Recovery. Fuzzy has always wanted a cool, informative site that showcases ALL we do in the Big Country. We now have it. You can see EVERYTHING we do with recovery and prison ministry. I've never built a website but jumped in head first and learned all I could to produce the site.

When you're discussing Steps Recovery with others you can point them to this site and it will really explain who we are and what we do. Consider this our BUFFET of information about Steps!! Please check it out. Thanks!! Chris
