PRISON WITH NO WALLS

" I saw your picture in the newspaper. I was wondering how you are managing..."

The letter in Tony's hands was from a stranger.

In prison, and in pain, it was the only letter he got.

Finallly he met the writer who visited him every Thursday and he came to see him as his father.

Tony changed.

Because John White told him one day...you haven't tried Jesus.

That night Tony cried more than he had ever cried before.

The next morning, in a real prison , he woke up feeling FREE.

"I woke up feeling more free than some of you looking at me today...Did you hear what I said?

Prison can take many forms...

It can be a relationship,..it can be religion.."

I found myself clapping when he mentioned religion

because I knew how religion could be a prison,

A prison with now walls

THE WORST PRISON OF ALL
