Anne Lamott Quote
Jesus had an affinity for prisoners. He had been one, after all. He must have often felt anxiety and isolation in jail, but He identified with the prisoners. He made a point of befriending the worst and most hated, because His message was that no one was beyond reach of divine love, despite society's way of stating the opposite. God, what a nut.Finally we stood outside an inner gate, showed our IDs to the guards, and got our hands stamped with fluorescent ink. You don't glow, you don't go, said one cheerful, pockmarked guard, which was the best spiritual advice I'd had in a long time.
