Fellowship

For where two or three are gathered
together in My name, there I am in the midst. 
Matthew 18:20

I am thankful to have several Christian friends who work with me in the prison's kitchen...

We can talk about the Lord and discuss Scriptures whenever we have the opportunity. Also, one of the correction officers who's assigned to watch over us is a Christian, too. So whenever he's on duty and I'm on a break, I could go over to his station and spend a few minutes with him. His name is Officer Jay.* Like me, he always carries a small Gideon New Testament in his back pants pocket.

Officer Jay is an older man in his late 50s. He has enough years on the job to retire, whenever he decides to do so. But I will definitely miss him when he does retire. For now, however, he and I are able to fellowship in the workplace.

*Officer Jay is not his real name.
