Great post - very inspiring.
I wasn't aware that Johnny Cash had performed at so many prisons. I'm sure he touched their hearts with his songs.
It's amazing to think about his lack of judgement. No matter if these people had done horrible things, he still wanted to give them the gift of his music.
It's really incredible. I don't know if I could do it. I'm glad there people who can.
Johnny Cash! Now we are talking bro ... Bob Dylan, Elvis ... The great ones are always great. Light a candle for all these innovators with guts and passion. peace !
yes i sure say the prisoners are the people like us but they made some mistakes unffortunatly but some time feeling sad to think about them that why they cannot feeling the christmass freedmly like us i pray fol all those that god give him freedom specially this great day of christmass
I was in Prison for a total of 4 years.... Really just another day. In the Federal prison we were given Domino's pizza buy the warden, something I would like to forget !!
That is a very nice way to put it. You have a big heart.
really to listen he was best and he perfomerd best for all also the video of prison is impressive @hanshotfirst hope GOD give us all happines in this christmass
Amazing post. Johnny Cash was a great musician and a man with a big heart. We are taught not to judge and to forgive one another which can be a challenge but we must do it for our own soul if for no other reason. Things happen and only by the grace of God you or I could be sitting in that prison cell.
Powerful message. "Whatever You Do To The Least of My Brothers, You Do Unto Me"
I actually met Johnny just before his death, about 2 weeks before. My wife and I were at a Sam's Club near Hendersonville, TN. My wife and I were scanning the vast, inventory filled aisles and then I heard this man cough on the other aisle. Believe it or not, even his cough had it's own unique sound and it caused me to look through the boxes to see who that was. I couldn't believe at first who I saw, so I had to go inquire. I won't go into his appearance at the time, but let's just say it was not what you would expect of a 'country' legend, I'll leave it there. Once I ascertained it was actually him, I couldn't help myself but to say hello. He said hello back with a smile and a glean in his eye and it just melted me. I'll never forget those few moments. Thank you for inspiring the memory.
And thank you for this series. As Burt's song says, "What the world needs now is love, sweet love."
That is so cool that you met him. He was incredibly talented!
I'd heard of this famous concert, but I don't think I'd ever seen any video of it. Truly impressive.
Speaking of inmates as flawed humans who are still someone's child or brother... a few days ago, I read a story about a woman who regularly visits her son in jail, a son who - as a troubled teenager - had brutally murdered his baby sister. It's hard to imagine how that poor woman deals with a double tragedy.
Great post. I've really enjoyed this series. It is very encouraging to see so many inspired.
And, in case I do not get another opportunity, Merry Christmas to you and your family!!
Thanks! Merry Christmas to you and yours as well!
I havent been able to jump on the #lighttheworld train all this while. I however, do resonate with this message that you dropped today. I have a friend who is incarcerated, and not a day goes by that I do not remember the errors of his ways.
It was a mistake, but the law recognizes that not.
Drunk driving is no excuse to hit another with a car and maim them for life.
Was he a monster? no, just a driver who got too tipsy and choose to drive. WIth the family still crying, he is in prison.
I will put more effort to light the world. The kids, the young and old, the depressed.
As steem has provided me an opportunity to help, Ill do so.
Thanks for awakening me boss hans, wish chewbacca was here to see this.
Thank you for sharing your personal story. It is very sad. But it is a reminder that even good people make terrible mistakes.
@hanshotfirst, I really love the way you approach the scriptures, the wonderful examples, what I can tell you is that we must always act with mercy, without judging, to redeem the captive, The people who are in prison are our brothers and suffer a lot loneliness, a lot of indifference and even rejection on the part of many of us. From a merciful heart we make the commitment to approach the imprisoned.
I once paid a visit to prison to give gifts and preach the word of God to prisoners, speaking with some of them, I realize some good people are there; some got there through setups, some by controllable/uncontrollable mistakes and others couldn't defend their case in court. I pray for God to grant them freedom even in this season of Christmas.
looks interesting, thank you very nich for post)
