Today I saw hundreds of sea gulls circling in the sky with great ease and freedom. The sight made me wish that I could fly too. Ironically, it happened over a large prison facilities with all the inmates housed in massive concrete buildings with narrow windows that looked almost like slits. I asked myself if I preferred physical freedom over imprisonment. The answer: One choice is not necessarily better than the other if one doesn't have any interior freedom in the Lord. In fact, there are inmates who are grateful that imprisonment has brought them back to God. Being imprisoned with interior freedom is definitely better than being outside of prison without interior peace.
