Great is the Lord, and greatly to be praised;
and His greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3
It's approximately ten o'clock in the morning on a hot and humid day...
and His greatness is unsearchable.
Psalm 145:3
It's approximately ten o'clock in the morning on a hot and humid day...
The temperature is in the mid-90s, too. With my clothing practically glued to my body, it's way too hot to do much of anything. Besides, I'm in a state of physical and mental weariness.
The noise level in the cell block has become almost intolerable. A number of the men, apparently out of boredom, have been yelling and screaming at one another. They've been doing this since the breakfast meal ended at eight. This kind of craziness has been a regular occurrence as well.
But whenever it gets like this, the first thing I do is turn on my radio and place my Koss headphones over my ears. I'll turn up the volume and listen to praise and worship music on the local Christian channel. Doing this helps to keep me sane. Of course, I also quietly ask the Lord for the patience and resolve to deal with my environment. Whoever says that prison is like living in a hotel is talking nonsense. Forget the "country club" image the media often tries to portray. In here, pain comes in many forms. Yet, thankfully, the goodness of God always far exceeds the badness of Satan. It's as simple as that.
