Smiling Pumpkin

One of the guys from Brothers-in-Blue gave me the words below.  In his grace, God saved him during the Brothers-in-Blue weekend.  Now he's inspired to become baptized in the prison gym on June 20th.  What a great day that will be!

The other day in baptism class, he gave me these words.  It was too good to keep to myself....

When asked, what is it like being a Christian? a newly baptized woman replied, It's like being a pumpkin!
God picks you up from the patch, brings you in and washes off the dirt.  Then He cuts the top off and scoops out all the yucky stuff: the seeds of doubt and hate, greed, pride, etc. God carves you up with a brand new smiling face.  Then he puts his light inside you to shine for all the world to see!

Don't you love it?
