I’ve watched and read a lot of the coverage of Jaycee Dugard’s release from that backyard prison. Such an unimaginable horror. So much of it sounds like some awful movie script – you wouldn’t think it could be real.

One of the things that bothers me most (besides the fact that that creep was let out of jail at all) is the weird “Christian” statements he’s made. He says he wants everyone to know the beautiful story!

Jaycee’s picture of Jesus and Christianity must be so dark and twisted. I can’t imagine that she would want to go anywhere near it again. So, I’m praying for a miracle.

I’m praying that Christians can be drawn to her. To love her. To encourage her. To help her. Help her build a beautiful picture of Christ and his followers – to even want to be one herself.

God can bring good out of the darkest place. I know this is not too big for Him!

And we know that in all things God works for the good of those who love him, who have been called according to his purpose.  (Rom. 8:28)
