As part of our continuing series, "On the Road," Steve Hartman meets an 81-year-old woman from Kansas who brings her sweet, soft touch to the razor wire world of Lansing Correctional.
That's The power of Jesus. I know for a fact that this woman is a Christian. The book thatthat the prisoner is reading on marriage that's a Christian book but I read in my marriage class when I was studying at biola University.. The love of Jesus changes people's lives. I myself supported missionary and I serve in Taiwan.
@@kookiesandtae. oh too bad that's my right. Have a nice day. Can I ask you the last 40 years that's pretty much my entire life. Have you taken a look at society and how it's turned out since people stopped learning about Christ and loving one another and praying for others and finding against evil and Injustice? Since we pretty much stripped the foundation of our country out of society. How is that been working out lately? Your religion is you have no religion. it should be stripped from every aspect of life. Have we had any good results? Well of course we've have. We have politicians who grew up to be greedy and became dictators. We have black people with low birth rates because they keep aborting their children. We have all kinds of injustices done upon children which what's your course isn't dealt with. Homelessness through the roof. I'd say taking four generations of people and telling them when their children that Jesus is not God and you don't need God and you're fine just the way you are. That really seems to work out great
@@kookiesandtae. by the way she really is a Christian. Why do you think she goes there? Do you see a Muslim Jewish Buddhist atheist going there and having the success that she does don't think so. Her power isn't through herself her power is through the Holy Spirit. Sorry to say this but Jesus really is the only way and to make things change you need a greater power than yoursel That's never going to change
@@meggrotte4760 lmao first of all I’m a Buddhist. I don’t care whatever you believe in but you keep spamming other people’s comments assuming she’s a Christian and maybe she is. But you forcing religion on other people isn’t okay. You can believe what you believe in or nothing but stop forcing other people into your religion saying Jesus is the only answer. Also there are many people that aren’t Christian and can still make change. You don’t have to be Christian to make a positive impact.
This is so remarkable. This woman is a true hero. She proves that we can relate to each other positively as people and make a difference to each other. Thanks to her and to Steve Hartman for running the story.
I volunteer with a prison program In Texas called Bridges To Life and it's amazing work! This program takes victims of all types into prisons to meet with offenders for 14 weeks. We share our stories and it's amazing to be a part of the solution not just ignoring the problem!
He called her sweetheart. So sweet. They love her & she’s a great grandmother & I’m sure they keep n touch after they leave. She’s making a difference. Something I believe my mother would have done if she had thought of it. U r the wings to lift those guys up & fly right.
Things like this helps me keep some faith in humanity. It's just to bad that not more people do these kinds of great acts of kindness, or that the people in charge of the worlds nations do any.
Me too! This granny has amazing insight into the human psyche. I wonder what her career was before retirement, if she had one. In any case, she is a treasure!
What a great ministry to Transform those who do wrong. No one is perfect, but bringing out the stuff inside to the surface really helps ppl learn from what they had done to become a part of this locked up community-to develop skills of better thinking so when they finish their sentence to be able to become a part of society once again without getting into more trouble.
She is following what Jesus Christ told us in the Sermon on the Mount, Matthew Chapter 5, 6 & 7. Matthew 7 King James Version (KJV) 1 Judge not, that ye be not judged. 2 For with what judgment ye judge, ye shall be judged: and with what measure ye mete, it shall be measured to you again. What a wonderful example of kindness, no money involved either, just Grace.
It made me so sad when the guy wanted to kiss her cheek, and he realized he was not allowed to do so, and stopped. He looked so sad, do not take your freedom for granted.
what people do with offenders is to condemn them making them view themselves as increasingly evil. what she does is embrace them for their imperfections. her love is as true as the selfless love of a mother to her young. it gives them a renewed view of themselves and that is as loved beings. from there, their eyes are opened.
Had they run into a grandma like this few years back after they did a small mistake, she would have wacked them then and there and prevented them getting here.
If there were more people like Sue Ellen, the world would be a better place. We're all God's children who originally were created in His image. Problems that occur in our lives are created by the person. God believes in us and our ability to change. Nobody is hopeless unless they make the choice to be hopeless. All it takes is to know that you are loved and positive reinforcement. Through God, nothing is impossible. Love God, love people.
Yeah, you might not believe me. She is Christian. The book on marriage Love, Respect and marriage.:) Thanks God for answering my prayers:) Send more workers. I am here in Taiwan serving the people.
Really, now, look at these prisoners. These are not hardcore offenders. This is probably a low-to-medium security facility, and these are probably the cream of the cream will behaved prisoners.
There is nothing that the Bible leaves out and that is why is talks so much about self control and how important it is to control our selves. It was a moment of lack of control that put these men behind bars. We all can be nice people. It is a decision but many time we have to decide to let Jesus in our lives as many times it is hard without Him as some things only by His grace we can control / overcome them
We all have the God given desire to want someone to listen to us; to have a genuine interest in us; to be paid attention to. Even these men in prison. Didn't Jesus himself listen to and pay attention to a man hung next to him? Something to think about.....
Jesus Christ is God and He is coming soon again .....You're too funny lol. They didn't say she was a literal celestial angel. It's just a term people use for human beings who help or guide others. Real angels help us sometimes, and they are messengers of God. Human beings are not literal angels, but we can be an angel to someone. It's a figure of speech.
