Turning over a New Leaf

The other day I was looking at the New Life logo and thinking about what it means.  I was reflecting on the Leaf.  It's green and it symbolizes New Life - New Life in Christ.  


Then I thought about the expression: Turning over a new leaf.  That's what we hope for in serving the prisoners.  We hope that each one will turn over a new leaf.  The Bible word for this reality is repentance.  Jesus said, "Repent for the Kingdom of Heaven is near."  (Matthew 4:17)
