Hi, my name is Woodman Savage. I spent 15 straight years of my life in 7 prisons. I got out and by the grace of God, I never went back. As of this post, I have been free in society for the past 17 years.
My testimony can be seen on youtube here: https://youtu.be/vOx2863ASvo
Not only did I get out and stay out, but God restored, rebuilt and gave my life purpose and meaning again. Today, I have peace, friends, a roof over my head, a girlfriend who loves me very much, and I am happier than I ever thought I could be.
This blog is mainly for prisoners, ex prisoners, and people in jail. I have a soft spot in my heart for them because I used to be one of them.
Over the years, I have witnessed people go in and out of prison like it is some kind of revolving door. I have often asked myself why? Prison is not fun. I hated every second of it. It's a cold, brutal, lonely, violent world in there. So, why would anyone want to get out of there and commit another crime and go right back in? To me, that is the true definition of insanity.
The answer whether they want to believe it or not, or whether they will accept it or not, is they need Jesus. Not the twisted, feel good Jesus this society preaches and teaches. They need the one true Jesus. The creator of the universe. The only begotten son of the Father. The Savior of the world. They need this Jesus. Nothing else will last, nobody else will do.
Through this blog, I am going to show you how to find Him and how to live in Him. If you truly want to be FREE and STAY FREE apply the posts on this blog to your life. If not, then keep doing what you always did and getting what you always got...another prison sentence.
I'm not some weak, timid, artificial, namby pamby, holy roller type of Christian. I am a real, practical, down to earth one. I am also not much of a writer. I don't have pretty, feel good words to use. I am more of a tell it like it is person. So, if something I write offends you, I am sorry, it is not intentional. Either over look it, take it as a conviction from the Holy Spirit, or simply stop reading this blog. Christ is serious business to me and I tend to post with passion. Also bear in mind that truth hurts sometimes.
I am not worried about whether this blog will be popular, or even effective. God will bring the people HE wants to see this blog. I am just HIS messenger.
Prisoner, you do not have get out and go back in over and over and over. I am here to show you that there is a better way. So, if you are tired of being tired, tired of existing, tired of life being the same ole thing, different day, tired of not having hope, tired of life having no purpose or meaning, then read on and check back often.
God bless you!
Wow, This touched my heart because of how "real" it is. There's nothing at all wrong with your writing, Woodman. Just keep on being the you God called you to be, and I know this blog is going to bless many prisoners, whether they are behind bars of steel, emotional chain or otherwise. Blessings!
