To say that today has been an interesting day would be an understatement. And instead of boring you with all the details of the day I’ll jump forward to the time I spent waiting in long lines to get into the jail so that I could see a friend who has been falsely accused of “terrorist threats”.
It appears these days that some people don’t mind allowing real terrorists walking around, while others like my friend are accused of terrorist threats based on hearsay and a cowardly accuser. But here is the kicker for this whole thing….
This is my third or fourth time visiting my friend in jail and this time was interesting and not because of him, but rather the guy that was visiting his son in the window next to us. Talk about watching a train wreck waiting to happen. No wonder his kid is in jail.
Here this man was loudly proclaiming that he gets prescription drugs like painkillers and the like, for 5 bucks from the pharmacy, and then he goes and sell them on the campus at UC Irvine. He said that he makes $10 a pill (or more) and just takes all the money from that and moves on. And we wonder why this mans son is in jail.
Meanwhile my husband overheard the man using the f-word numerous times in a row, and then when his wife used the word once, he yelled at her and told her to stop swearing. I think that is what we call true hypocrisy.
Anyway, we had nice visit with our friend and on our way out we reported this character to the deputies who were working the desk. They assured us that they wouldn’t forget this man and they’d keep an eye on him.
And unfortunately, tonight someplace there is a man who is plotting the destruction of others lives – whether he cares or not. Obviously he doesn’t.
So if you know of anyone who does drugs or sells drugs, do what you can to intervene and of course pray for these people so that they will know the Lord Jesus can deliver them and set them free from their pain.
