For where two or three are
gathered together in My name,
there I am in the midst of them.
Matthew 18:20
Last night, I experienced a wonderful time of fellowship with four friends who are members of the church that exists behind prison walls...

Matthew 18:20
Last night, I experienced a wonderful time of fellowship with four friends who are members of the church that exists behind prison walls...
While we all live in different cell blocks, it so happened that we ended up in the outdoor recreation yard.
So as the five of us walked together along the yard's running track, we were able to talk and praise the Lord, and give Him thanks. Then, after we began to tire from walking, we gathered as a small group and sat at one of the picnic tables.
After a while, I decided to take my little Gideons bible from my pants pocket and read to my friends a few passages from the book of Proverbs. Afterwards, we resumed our walk. And when it was time for the yard to close, we quietly bowed our heads and prayed. We each thanked the Lord for our time together, and we also thanked the Lord for joining us. For as promised, Jesus was among us, too. He was in our midst.
