I got a email from the deacon at my church's wife. I had asked her to pray for my son to be close to home and i got this email instead. also had before that emailed her to let her know i was there to help if i could because they were going through financial crisis. but instead she emailed me back and you guys might think it was nothing but i seen no sense in her having to say this to me. she could have kept her oppinions to herself. I already know he did wrong and he does too. so why pile hurt on top of hurt? email below

to me from her: I understand you wanting to support your son. I would support Jake if we were in the same situation. What bothers me is that you want others to be more understanding of Travis' situation and I just can't. I have three small children that God gave me to protect. That is my job. I don't know all of the details of Travis' trouble, but I do know it involves child pornography. There is nothing that I can think of that justifies looking at naked or partially clothed children. Nothing. Looking at naked women is one thing, but not a child. I can't excuse it. I won't. As far as I am concerned, your son is where he belongs. I may not should be judgmental, but my children are precious to me and I want to make sure nothing like that happens to them, so one more person who is doing things like that behind bars is fine with me. I do, however, want your son to be safe where he is. I hope he is getting better. I do think it is a sickness to look at little children like that. I do hope he is developing a relationship with God. I do hope he can stay close to you so you can visit him. As I said, I know that is your son and you love him no matter what and you should. He needs your support. But, he doesn't have mine. I will pray for you that you have peace with his situation and are able to go and see him. I would want to see my children too. Please don't expect me to feel sorry for him. I just can't.
