daMBERS
I don?t normally slap meself on the back, but this is DA related, so I can get away with it.
I sing and play guitar at the local jail once a month or so, and I gotta tell you it?s the spiritual highlight of my life right now.
Most of the kids there are half my age (with a few exceptions) and one said last night ?Know what I like about you?, you?re not full of sh_t like most all the others that come here.? I consider that a compliment- and told him so.
If PT Barnum could spot that sucker a mile away- people in jail can spot a phoney even farther.
I was never in the ?pokey?- but did things that could have landed me there (haven?t we all?)
Some of these kids are headed to prison, and I tell them honestly ?Look, if all it took was 100 dollars apiece to assure your salvation, I?d start a fund raiser right now for all of you? One guy said ?How bout a fundraiser for my bail??I had to get spiritual right away.
All I can do is encourage them to do what Gods telling them to do-not what me or anyone else might say. But the songs get through-you can tell
DA related?
Their FAVORITE song to hear is
?Startin Monday?
They ask me to do it every time Apparently procrastination is everywhere!
They also ask for the one with ?That list, that list of people who get to go to heaven?
I introduced ?Breathe Deep? one time as a partial list of people who qualify for Gods love and touch.
-thanks Terry, people listen

Wow.
That was a great message, James.
And ya know what? It makes me wonder at all of us ~ in our little cocooned-church-world, slapping each other on the back and doing all the good churchy things, and praise de Lawd all over the place ~ if we're doing the right thing. I mean, GO YE THEREFORE, preaching to all the world.
What you're doing in that prison will probably change more hearts than any Sunday-Go-To-Meetin' service.
..........
Oh, and I have to get to some posting, cuz Joey and ™ have passed me up again. Can't let THAT happen!

JC,
Read this when you originally posted, but just now catching up with some stuff. I think this is awesome, and what the Kingdom is all about. You keep up the good work.

to mention;

That is heart warming testimony brother. Real treasure in heaven stuff. That's what it's all about! (-not the hokey-Pokey)
