Prison ministry week 2

We had another amazing evening with the men in the Crawford County Dentention Center tonight. Again, I think I was the one who got the most from it. The men were really engaged, and we were able to share God's love and fellowship with them for an hour and a half.

One thing that is clear. These guys worry about their families. We need to pray for the wives, girlfriends, and especially the children of men that are in jail. They are the ones most impacted. They aren't given three meals per day. They are in situations where the bills aren't getting paid, food and shelter may not be priorities, and drugs are common.

I am amazed at the way these guys respond to Bryan & Kolby. Not really Kolby, he is a rock star, the guys love him, and everytime he sings they give him an ovation. Bryan claims that one of the guys clapped after he spoke tonight, but I think he was killing a fly. Either way, I'm just along for a very awesome ride, and feel very blessed to be a part of this.

Comfort zone?

Do you stay inside your comfort zone, or do you push your limits? Why do some things come easier to some than others?

Tonight, I got to dive into both of those questions and what I learned was that maybe I was just lazy or haven't pushed myself enough.
