Visit a local jail and bring its inmates some non-religious inspirational reading materials (humor is always a great vehicle for inspiration).  Ask if you can visit with them as well.  If you are allowed to do so, do so.  Ask them how they are “holding up” and intently listen to their answers.  Let them know that you still See them as integral members of your community regardless of what they did (or did not do) to get put into jail … If visitation is not allowed, ask the staff which of the inmates has been in the longest and/or receives the least amount of visits/mail, and then send that inmate(s) a card today (including an inspirational quote & a funny cartoon therein).
