August 1st. is Michael Hipps Birthday. As you all know he is in prison and will be until December and maybe longer. I know we all have differing feelings but I am asking you to set those aside for a moment and send him a birthday card. Mike is in a cell 23 hours a day no TV, no Friends, no phone and he is not received mail in a very long time from his kids and family. I never knew how difficult isolation can be.
I am not going to give any hard arguments for or against Mike, all I can say is he is trying to improve and a little encouragement can go a long way. So if you will please send his card to the address below. You do not have to make a comment or anything on this post, just do what you feel is the right thing and go for it.

Sandy,
I just go a letter from Mike. He is doing a lot to improve, anger management class, medication balancing, working with a psychiatrist, going to church and bible study, parenting and everything he can to prepare for his release. As you probably know he loves to read, I have sent him some new books for his birthday. I hope he got them in time. Pam and i sent him a Birthday card as did our church, they are praying for Mike. Prayer works and Mike is worth working on.
I keep you informed.
