I'm not naming any names. This person grew up with my stepson and made a horrible mistake. He has been in prison for 20 years and paid his debt to society. I have conversed regularly with him during part of that time.
My question is a serious one because I'm not sure he has any idea of what life is going to be like for him "on the outside." While I'm mostly a positive thinking person, my fear for him is that he may be in a "bubble" about his new life.
I want to be positive and supportive for him but I feel the need to bring reality into our conversation as well. Plus, I'm not sure of his spiritual status so my thought is that I must bring that into the mix. My personal belief is that he will not make it on the outside without the help and direction of Almighty God.
He deserves a second chance in my opinion no matter what.
What say you?
