Saying Goodbye

8/31/2009

I cannot give enough thanks to all those who've been faithfully praying for my father, and for his overall health and for his eternal salvation...

Let your conversation be without
covetousness; and be content with such
things as ye have: for the Lord hath said,
I will never leave thee, nor forsake thee.
Hebrews 13:5

I've been sharing this verse with both the men who belong to the congregation here in the prison as well as with friends on the outside. What a wonderful promise!

The Furnace

8/21/2009

Behold, I have refined thee,
but not with silver; I have
chosen thee in the furnace
of affliction.
Isaiah 48:10

As a Christian I am sometimes consigned by the Lord to go through my own furnace of affliction...

Thirty-Two Years Ago

8/11/2009

Yesterday marked 32 years since my arrest. It is not an anniversary to celebrate, however. But, by the grace of God, it is a milestone and a testimony to God's power to keep me safe, alive and healthy after more than thirty years of incarceration...

"Slow Down!"

8/8/2009

And we know that all things work
together for good to them that love
God, to them who are the called
according to His purpose.
Romans 8:28

I wish to thank everyone who's been praying for me. I am more than grateful for those prayers...
