This morning I spent a couple of hours with the doctor. This was no ordinary visit to the doctor ‘
s office though. I spent a couple of hours with Jason Laird, aka Dr. Tweez. Jason is a very good friend of mine and the youth pastor at Healing Place Church. I have always had the utmost respect for Jason. When I think about him, the first word that comes to mind is legit! He’s the real deal … loves God and loves people and walks it out. Jason has a powerful testimony that I wanted the men inside parish prison hear. Jason, on more than one occasion, has been incarcerated at parish prison. It’s was really neat for him to come back, completely transformed, and stand before those men and tell them God loves them, has a plan and a future for their life. He told them not to put their significance is “stuff”; rather their identity is in Christ.
Tweez brought Steve Ware along with him. Steve was a voluntary chaplain at Angola State Penitentiary for 10 months. He really encouraged the men that God was circling their boat, if they could only stop fighting the wind and waves long enough to see Him. All they had to do was call out to Him.
I love Tuesday’s mornings anyway, but today was really special for me. As we left that cell block this morning, I could see the encouragement and hope in the eyes of the men. I really believe that many of them are going to make it!! That’s a win for EVERYONE!
