Hi Ronald, We used to write many years ago but lost contact. Thought I would look up your site and sat the last hour (on works time haha) glued to my screen and now feel like I have entered another world. You write so well that us readers feel like we are sat there with you, while telling a story. So sorry about your friend. A close friend of mine was executed back in 1999 in Missouri.
I fully intend to sit down and send you some more mail but I had to let you know straight away that reading this is so moving.
Your take care

I must tell you. Your post could not have come at a better time. What I find is your words so very relevant to the outside as well as the inside. Good looking out...Inspiring looking in. What I find amazing...is your words drip with character. Its just been a rotten day today...you gave me the inspiration I needed. I even had to print your post to remind me move forward and refuse to look back.
David, Wow, where do I start? First I am glad that you rely on God, not only on yourself, and are in the midst of finding peace within. Inner peace is a gift few people ever attain. Paul (in the Bible) wrote several times about being content in prison; however, his Roman citizenship entitled him to a few amenities that may or may not compare. Anyway, I pray you will be able to relate to that aspect, and take comfort….. Currently, I am facing life’s challenges as best as possible. The immediate apprehension is the unknown location of our next duty station in June; it will remain a secret until the list is published in mid-April. Not really a catastrophic challenge, but extremely inconvenient. I am ready to complete my service and take more control over my circumstances. As for the simple things in life, I know what you mean. I have been so focused on other things that I rarely take time to reflect on what truly matters. Finally, from your letters, it appears that you continually strive to improve yourself, Spiritually, mentally, and physically. I hope you continue to find techniques to assist others. I will pray for you! Sam
Excellent rap! Keep spreading the word and keep writing the word. Our mothers must have conferenced with each other since I got the very same advice from my mother. Though she is deceased now, I still hear her voice sending out the very same messages you heard from your mother. I think it is part of the universal wisdom God send down to mothers. I look forward to reading some more of your songs. I wish I could hear a recording of you rapping the songs.
I always appreciate hearing from you through your blog. I am glad you are doing okay and find the food to be decent. As a person who does not like to eat meat, but loves food, I probably would have problems eating the food. You do describe a varity of food and I am sure you do not go hungry. I like the title of your latest song, "Don't Be a Fool."
Hello Sweet, It is almost easter here in Australia, I guess it is the same there, but how much is it the same? will you recieve something which will make you smile, feed you some choclates and treat you in a special way that you will know it is a special time for us all in so many different ways, for some it is all about religion, others, a day off work or a holiday and for a lot it is the brand of choclates we endolge in, but for me it is a time to send a big smile and hug to you and let you know your thought about and remembered. Happy Easter Sweet:) Thinking of you and hoping you have reasons to smile . YOur special from down under Bobbie
