Okay... like in 22 working days time that is....
Darn....
.........................................................
Its late and im still miserably studying... thus ive decided to harp on the fact that my lappie is coming soon...
Anyway, i came across this pictorial book of prison in the national library the other day.. and well... apparently the name of Jesus appeared almost 90% in all the photos..
The prisoners left their marks, not by carving "F*CK LIFE" on the walls, but instead, John 3:16 appeared, the DRAWING of the crucifixtion of Jesus, the cross, Jesus saves, and drawings or verses of anything that could remind them that there was a Jesus, there was still hope, plastered the walls that held them prisoners of their own sin.
Of course there were the exceptions, where hot chicks and dragons were carved/pasted/drawn on the walls.. but still.. a good strong percentage was about Jesus.
might i add... they were great artists...
Can u imagine... a whole concentration of murderers, criminals, people that are deemed and judged as EVIL, MONSTROUS, BEYOND HUMANE, locked up together in shared cells.. and instead of thinking or conversing of bloodshed and sin..90% was about God, about the hope he won't leave them.
Talk about amazing grace...
Talk about being omnipresent...
Even in the gallows, there's still hope..
Even in the thickest choking atmosphere of sin, shame and bloodstained hands, its still 90% God, and 10% whatever else there is...
So if you are feeling helpless, hopeless, that all is dark and forboding... get over it..and know there's hope, you're not in prison, so you're much better off. You probably have in fact 100% God.
How cool is Jesus.
A little Easter special...
