Prison is hard. Yeah I know it's not supposed to be easy! Did one ever stop and think why so many people come out of prison worse off then when they went in? Everything we sit on is hard. The plastic chairs in the Chapel, the benches in the chow hall, even the beds we sleep on, all hard. The concrete floors and cement block walls that surround us, all hard. Inmates are treated hard as well. Some staff members think it's their jobs to punish us. Beating us down with words, egging us on in order for one of us to "step out of line" and snap! Then the staff can say to their friends "see how terrible these things are! Why, they're barely human!" Yes Folks, that's how inmates are treated by many staff members. The food we are fed, oh boy... Just the smell of it is enough to gag many people. This so called "meat" smells like dog food and looks like it too. Lot's of beans and noodles, flavorless and usually undercooked. Have you ever broken a tooth on beans that weren't cooked? I've seen it happen in here! I've been called a liar a couple of times, and the first time it was the school psychologist! Thank God, I was vindicated due to my persistence and I WAS telling the truth! Daily I'm amazed at the miracles of God. How he's changing my heart and mind to be more Christlike. The old me would've rolled over and taken the 3 tickets, not tried to fight it at all. Yet Jesus has given me (and those who follow Him), not the spirit of fear, but of power, love, and a sound mind! (2 Timothy 1:7) Without Jesus, I'd be dead (literally). Yet He rescued me and made me new! He is the answer to the people who say "Once a felon, always a felon!" He's making me into a man of God! If you allow He will do the same for you! Ask Jesus to come into your heart, turn your life over to Him. Turn from your sins and He will save you! He died on the cross in order to redeem you! Your sins are paid for by His blood. Call out to Him, He's waiting for you.
