Letters

Tonight I wrote a letter to a young man I don't even know. I got connected with him through Cornerstone Compassion Ministries. This young man is in jail and requested a penpal. I figured I might as well put my gift of writing letters to good use while I continue to wrestle with questions about God and religion. The jail ministry is of special interest to me because I want healthy, motivated and loved individuals reentering society so the chances of them reoffending decrease. There are so many ways we can use our talents and gifts to help others; I wish we all would a little more (including myself, I could do so much more but I'm taking baby steps, baby steps I tell you). Thank you Cornerstone for providing me with so many opportunities to do so and modeling what Christ followers really look like-people who care, love and provide for the rejected, isolated and destitute.
