Within the past several weeks the Lord has led me to do two interviews...
One was with The Sunday Times of London (see Journal entry for May 1). The other was with a New York City area news station, UPN-Channel 9, WWOR/TV (see yesterday’s journal entry).
I always hesitate to do media interviews, and only do so after much prayer and confirmations from the Lord. And while every media outlet has their own agenda, my goal is to honor Jesus Christ and to let people know that there is hope and forgiveness for anyone through Him.
However, as a general rule, I turn down many requests for interviews and grant only a tiny fraction. I prefer not to do any. But Jesus is the Lord of my life, and I must do as he directs.
Yet with both interviews, I believe that God was glorified. Now people know my heart, that I am not seeking parole. Plus, they know how sorry I am for what had happened in the past, that I accept my prison sentence.
I don't believe there is anything anyone can fault with what I was able to share in both of these interviews, unless they have hard hearts and are blinded by hatred towards me. There's nothing I can do about this, of course.
D.B.
