Adjusting the Lens Through Which You See the World



Letter from Angola

I am beginning work on my next project: "Letter from Angola." God has put it on my heart to write about everything I am presently learning from these fascinating men inside of our nation's correctional system (both inmates and free world men). I intend to tell the truth, although I know that the truth is rarely popular, and this time will be no exception... I wonder how many really want to know what it is like for these forgotten ones. The Master called them "the least of these." As I sat there in this cell (below) I considered the difference in my journey, being white and privileged, versus many who happen to be poor and minority. My story, exactly the way it was, would be MUCH different if I was simply born to different parents, in a different neighborhood... More to come.
