I look forward to this column monthly. I also enjoy reading the full chaplain reports to hear about the conversations and the work that leads up to these healings and transformations.

But you must be awake to the opportunities to heal. This is where our chaplains are making such giant forward steps with the inmates-who trust themselves to the care of a chaplain’s prayers and the belief that somehow God loves them, despite the appearances of evil and darkness.

Thank you, David, for sharing these stories of hope, faith and dominion over the ego and its belief in devils and demons and lost causes. We know that we are renewed every morning when we begin our day in the Christ Light.

Love’s Blessings upon you!

Thanks to them and to you, David.
