It's blazing hot...
I'm sitting on a steel stool here in a prison cell as I try to write this journal entry while big droplets of salty sweat drip from my forehead onto my lap. The heat is also taking its toll on the electricity because the overhead fluorescent light keeps flickering on and off. This is most likely due to the increased demand for power in the local area. I hope, however, that there won't be a power failure. I've had to sit in the dark on occasion when, either during storms or in excessively hot weather, the system failed. But when this happens the prison's self-contained emergency generators will eventually kick in.
And while it is too hot to write a lot, earlier today I'd been pondering how that at some future time, Satan, whom the Bible says is an "accuser of the brethren," will no longer be able to throw the painful past in my face. Even now, in God's eyes, I am a new creation in Christ. So while I cannot change the past, by the grace of God, I can continue going forward as I focus on the wonderful plans Jesus has for me. Amen!
