Adjusting the Lens Through Which You See the World



Modern Day Miracle

Ok, so here’s what happened… On Friday we had a special “feast” for some of the guys at Hays State Prison (because He said “when you have a banquet, don’t just invite those who ALWAYS get invited to such things, right?). Gary prepared a Special Fish Fry, and we invited 12 guys that we know really well from our “Power of Peace Project." These are leaders, and several are leaders of particular “organizations” if you know what I mean… Well, the word got out I guess, because we had MANY more show up than we had invited. So we had ourselves a potential problem. And some of these guys were real “bad guys” that we don’t even know, and half of them were from the rival, Muslim organization (some would call it a "gang" up there). So what would YOU have done? This wasn’t an easy situation… One of our main leaders stepped forward and said, “What we have is what we have, but we will not turn ANYONE away. We’ll just all have to SHARE.” (You have no idea how rare that is in a hi-max prison— to share?) All I can tell you is that we only had a certain number of fish; EVERYONE ate until they were completely satisfied; there was laughter among enemies; and there was one piece left over… A genuine first century miracle? That’s up to you to decide. (But this was a day these men will NEVER forget, and neither will I)
