Because I'm a retired official and a member of FCA, I was invited for the second time to speak to a group of inmates at The Kentucky State Reformatory at LaGrange. To say the least, that is a place I have no desire to live at, but I count it a Blessing to talk to the men about basketball and then share the Gospel with them. We had a great meeting and Q&A time. Then right before I left, I had the opportunity to meet with Tom Payne. We talked briefly about BB and a few fouls I called on him, and then he gave me some literature about a program he started at KSR and asked me if I would come speak at one of his meetings. He is the happiest inmate I've ever seen, and right before I left, he put his big arms around me and prayed over me such a humbling prayer. Other than sharing the Gospel, that was the best part of my visit.

LH that takes a lot of courage to go to a prison to do anything like that. My brother who is a minister in Tennessee goes to a prison to minister to the inmates. He said its a rewarding experience and he always gets good feedback from the ones he talks to there.Kentucky fan since 1971.Comment
