Whats this about?

Several times while traveling recently I have had the opportunity to share this deep concern of my heart, this Calling.  And from inside me the words stumbled, while the spirit of the words made it through and we have several more champions rallied to this cause, it was made clear to me that I need to work on my "elevator speech".  Here is what came this morning as I am anticipating taking the cause up at the Prison chaplain conference later this afternoon:

As Einstein said, you can't solve a problem with the same level of thinking that created it. 
So this essay is a call to activate our spiritual problem solving techniques, 
prayer in its many forms and formats, 
to address the brokenness of our prison system, 
to address the brokenness in our society 
that relies only on revenge and banishment 
to solve problems of criminal behavior, and 
to activate our deep faith, 
that through God all things are possible, 
into our actions.
