Today was a travel day for the most part.  We got up and left from Marksville grateful for God’s work in and through the work of Returning Hearts.  As we were leaving the hotel a lady was leaving in her “Returning Hearts”  t-shirt and stopped to say hi and thank you to all of us.  She related what the day meant to her and her children.  It was a powerful testimony and once again made all of us grateful to God for putting us in a position to be used of Him.

We arrived at Angola late this afternoon.  The guys at the Ranch House prepared a wonderful meal (as is usual) and we enjoyed fellowshipping with Chaplain Brad and the men who serve there.  There were two highlights of our visit to the Ranch House, first of all we got to see a small alligator that had been caught and we held it and were awed by it, secondly Chaplain Brad’s baby boy came over with his mama for a visit. 

After dinner we went for a tour of the prison and saw a beautiful sunset and was once again reminded of what an awesome God we serve.  I believe that God has once again demonstrated His power through this trip in a wonderful way.  He has impressed on me what a great and mighty God we serve. 

I have been able to stand in awe of Him as both Creator and Savior.  I pray that God will give you all experiences such as these to impress on you His greatness.  Remember that these opportunities come along as we serve Him.  Because of Him, Pastor
