My colorful jail cell
There are times when I feel I'm living in a jail cell; those days that turn into weeks when I'm sick, and can't go outside. However, from the many documentaries I watch about life in prison, I know this is far from true. I can see the sky and the sunlight out of clear windows; I can freely talk on the phone with friends and family at any time; I can see and visit with my husband every day; I can get private mail that is not censored previous to my reading it; I can read any of the books that I have; I can keep as many photo albums as I like to remind me of the many good times I've had; and even at the worst, I have a soft and comfortable couch to lay on. How often do we take for granted those things that are special priveledges for prison inmates, and must be earned through hard labor and good behavior?

Who will save you from this body of death? Thanks be to God it has been done by Jesus Christ! You know this mortal, corruptible body is but a tent to be soon exchanged for an immotall, celestial body. All of our bodies are jail cells in which we must live, but the glory that awaits us in Heaven does not even compare to our beastly temporal sufferings. Death no longer holds any sting for you, my Christian Sister. There is no fear for those who are in Christ, for death, our daily death to the world, has been swallowed up in victory!
1 Cor.15 and 2 Cor.4
That verse is perfect. And Jen, I love your posts. You think about things in a way I wish I did. Good observations. May we continually stop taking for granted the things that are gifts and blessings we don't deserve.
Jen...praise the Lord for your joyful spirit and godly perspective. I am so thankful for you and love you. You'll be in my prayers my dear sister.
Chere wagamama,
J'ai été tres contente d'avoir de tes nouvelles.
Merci beaucoup!
Jen,
We love you! I hope you're having a good day. You're such an encouragement to those of us who get to know you! Thanks for the sweet look at life. There is always something to be thankful for, isn't there?
Or you can start doing what the character in The Shawshank Redemption did.
What was that? Study law??
YOU HAVE NOT SEEN THE SHAWSHANK REDEMPTION?!?!?!?!
I have, but I forgot what who did.
You know, digging an escape route for almost 20 years..
I DO have a door.
