lifer serving time
raises loud voice in worship
imprisoned, yet free
heart of stone softened
plays new music, writes fresh poem
spirit soars, unchained
baptismal witness
covered by mercy’s waters
saves a drowning man

M sister-in-law in TX does a similar ministry; it is worthy work, bless you for taking the time, & spreading hope in the deepest of dark places.

Thanks, Glenn. We’ve only been there a couple times but were blessed to participate and hope to go again!

too often while still a wage slave, I bordered on becoming leaden-eyed, & only the daydreaming, the inner visions set me free, saved me from the brink; nice job.

What a wonderful ministry. And, yes, freedom is in our hearts.
