To Take the Opportunity

Today I found out that Nash, the guy that was pulled back into prison politics, was moved to protective custody. I was talking with a friend at lunch who told me that Nash got beat up at rec for refusing to fight another guy after being struck. I'm really glad he didn't fight, though it pains me to hear that he was beat. I hope that he finds himself in a place where he can really dig into the Word and form a deep friendship with God.

I don't like the way prison works, but I'm here and must live in it. I can only be who God has called me to be among the people around me and hope to influence then for the better. I pray that God would make himself known in this place, either through me and other Christians, or through spiritual revelation. There is so much potential for compassion. I don't even take every opportunity that is provided.
