Madea Goes to Jail has probably just made it to my top 5 movies. It was great. All of Tyler Perry's Madea movies are pretty schitzo going from one crazy funny scene to a super dramatic, and usually depressing scene, and this one fit right in. This time the dramatic story line was about a girl who felt she had no other choice but prostitution for her life. The thing that got me was this lady, Ellen, who does jail ministry and gets out on the streets doin for real ministry to the pimps, prostitutes and drug addicts. When I realized what she was doing was giving out condoms and clean needles I was a bit shocked at first. Then I realized that she really does "get it," she met the needs of these girls, formed relationships, challenged them without ever judging them, and when she had the right opportunity she fed them the truth of the Bible. God's word changed their lives because she was not afraid of being judged or ridiculed for hanging around the "wrong crowd." I hope to find myself in similar situations in the future.
