None of us get through life without a wrong turn or two. For most of us, the cost was survivable — a hard lesson, a bruised ego, a story we tell differently now. For a few of our classmates, one decision — or a chain of them — led somewhere the rest of us can't fully imagine living.
"I needed clothes and you clothed me, I was sick and you looked after me, I was in prison and you came to visit me."Matthew 25:36 — NIV
"Continue to remember those in prison as if you were together with them in prison, and those who are mistreated as if you yourselves were suffering."Hebrews 13:3 — NIV
