PRISON

Last night the band went to prison and they did not keep any of them. It was a great night!
We had freedom to move around the prison, as the inmates were in lockdown. The major benefit was that, rather than a few coming to a chapel service, we were able to visit their (homes) courtyards and play some carols. The reception from the inmates was fantastic, and we were able to dialogue with them through their windows, and doors.
This was the end of a big day for the Salvo Chaplain who had given out the Christmas Presents, and capped it off with the carols.


Luke 2:16-18 (Message)
They left, running, and found Mary and Joseph, and the baby lying in the manger. Seeing was believing. They told everyone they met what the angels had said about this child. All who heard the sheepherders were impressed.

When I get fed-up of some of the silly things about the Army I need to remember this sort of thing.

Thanks for sharing.
