“I saw the angel in the marble and carved until I set him free.” Michelangelo Buonarroti

When I go into the women's prison.....I have this feeling of being trapped.....of being closed in and having no control. Anything can happen in there and I'm powerless to do anything about it.

The thing is....I'm free to come and go. Makes me wonder how the women incarcerated feel.

Last week....I spoke to a group of women who are trying to  make sense of how their lives spiraled so out of control. Most read my book, In the Eye of Deception.....and were inspired. It gave them hope.  They asked if I'd meet with them. 

They had questions for me...lots of them. Nothing was off limits. 

I looked into the faces of these women....mostly young....all grasping for hope. 

I saw them as angels in the marble. 

Being in prison is awful. But being in prison inside yourself is even worse. There's no release date from that prison. No escape....no reprieve. No way out.......

Except.....The power of a touch of His gentleness. 

Everyone needs compassion....a love that's never failing...
