The Message for Prison

   Today is the day that I go back into prison again. I have been in this same prison many times before, but there is always a little bit of uneasiness each time I go in. I am not fearful of the surroundings or of the men on the inside, I am more fearful of my actions and words while I am there.

   Going in, there is nothing that I can predict as to what the outcome of the weekend will be. I know what it can be in the lives of the men involved, but, since I do not know any of the inmates coming to the sessions, I don't know how each will be affected. I do not know what the individual stories of the men will be, or how I can relate to them.

   The only thing I can do at this point is to remind myself that God is in control in all of this, and I definitely am not. His will will be done, and all I need to do is get out of the way and be obedient to what He wants me to do. I need to live in the moment and not worry about how it will all work out. It will.

   I want my life in front of these guys and in front of God to be the message that He wants given out.

   That is my prayer for today....
