Opening Minds Behind Bars: 

“Education changes you. There is no possible way you can sit down and read and study and do papers and do research and not be changed, because when you come up out of there, you’ve gained so much that you just want to share it. So you start to look around for people to share it with.

It instills in us a confident belief that we can re-establish who we are. That’s monumental. It’s life-changing.”

Post of the week from these parts here

… I’d swear the camel beside this guy grinned when he told me the actual secret of how to keep things standing when everything is kinda crashing down all around us.

This guy. This story. This Lent — this secret to keep things together is everything. It’s profoundly changing deep & honest things for me.

Thinking you need this as much as I desperately did. Upended, undone, streams in the desert.

Want a Lent of More? How to have a Lent of Abundantly More God (& a Free 40 Day Lent Devo):

Because of the Cross

Wage Peace

wherever people are caught

in the crosshairs

of prejudice

Because of the Cross

Shake fists

Awake & into the long reaching open hands

of friendship

until we are the people Cross-shaped

Because of the Cross

Set aside

Divisive Talk

and set dinner tables

so you can sit across

from the Other

and look into their eyes until

you see Jesus.
