If the Son therefore shall make you
free, ye shall be free indeed. John 8:36 I have now been in prison for 31 years. However, I recall a time, several decades ago, when I thought there was no hope for me... The Son of man must suffer many things,

And while I do not always understand His ways, I must rejoice and be thankful in my situation... I have been sleeping on and off throughout the day. The constant pain has rendered me feeling tired and weak...
Let me give you a description of my room. I'm on the second floor of a four story hospital, to include a basement, which is located on the grounds of Sullivan Correctional Facility...

This morning I was admitted to the hospital which is located on the grounds of the prison...
In all this Job sinned not,
nor charged God foolishly. Job 1:22 For the past three days I've been confined to my cell because of a medical restriction... Right now I'm on my morning break. I finished my AM shift at 10 o'clock and was allowed to return to my cell...
