frances, one of satan's main weapons is to create doubt in a persons mind.when God don.t answer when you think he should, he tries to make you doubt God. he does the same thing in relationships too. when you don't hear from me when you think you should, he tries to plant seeds of doubt in your mind concerning me. and now i believe he has sent this buster dennis to through lies and fiery darts amongst us, and as the man, it's my job and duty to inform you of this. but will you listen?

well, there it is frances.dennis has stated publicly that he is looking foward to your freedom and your "future". so i don't see where i fit. with enough talk, the truth will eventually surface.i'm not one to compete with another man for a womans affections.you told me in your letter that "dennis told the police that you sold him drugs and that you went to prison for that" who's really playing games? he didn't understand that i was talking about independance and heads from a biblical standpoint. untill he accepts jesus as his lord and savior he'll never understand.

Franny I couldn't help noticing in your posts you mentioned God and Jesus twice while at the same time you mentioned yourself 17 times. Laurie, Little Franny, Angelia and Tony were not mentioned at all. Neither were Steve, Gary, Victor or the woman you raped.

Good afternoon, Kevin! Very far away from you I am diving into your words. They seem to be beautiful-heavy-deep and sad. Before I have penetrated all they express your words have already touched me. Want to print your poem out and take it with me outside into the sun to read it again and again and understand...
Unfortunately this blog gives me no information about where you are. So I hope my thoughts reach you. I want to send you a sunbeam into your heart. Don´t get lost in the land of forgotten souls! Just like now...there is contact with the other world...
Take care!

Hi Wayne,

My name is Marianne, of the same age, and living in The Netherlands.

Here in Holland everybody complains about the short times offenders have to be in prison. I personally do not think that 'the more time, the better', but when breaking the law, that there will be consequences may be clear. It can never be a one way street in my opinion.

The same in 'real life': when I am not doing my job as required, I will not be long in that job. When I treat people awfully, I cannot expect to be treated nicely. etc etc

I never met a perfect person, but more people who do not learn from mistakes or certain behavior, than those who do.

Life itself is a learning path. Every road is different, because everyone is unique. In our world of greed, glitter and glamour, things have to collaps one time.

The drive in my life is compassion: the passion for a drive in life, the com as in toghether. A simple line: Do not do to others, what you do not want to be done to you. In fact, it IS that simple. That doesn't mean it's easy from day to day.

You write, I learned to be a better inmate. That strikes me. That's not the same as a better person in my opinion...

For now, take care

Marianne

Hello Johnny

Your 'cry' here, made me sad. A young man, 5 children, in prison, a divorce...

Incarcerated, not being able to participate in lives of loved ones. It's hard.
But you know, there are different kind of prisons, where the bars are not seen but are there.

You cannot manage the behaviour of others, only your own. Your ex wives maybe try to protect the children as much as possible. Who knows what happens out there from day to day.

In my experience a child, growing up, will be able to make a picture itself and there will be questions later on. To you, to their mum, to the family...

You cannot longer trust your exes, but trust and believe in yourself and your children. Try to keep contact in different ways, by writing letters and cards, even if you don't sent them. Keep a diary for your children, address them.

I know, it's a substitute for the real thing, but I hope it can also keep you from getting bitter. Remember the beautiful things and memories, without trying to cling on to it. Panta rhei, everything flows and changes.

For now, take care

Marianne

10 years ago after we met I told you I'd be here for you. When all this started 5 years ago I reminded you again that I'd be here for you. I've not always done what was best nor have I always done what was right. I've made more than my share of mistakes but that has never stopped me from trying and, I'm still here for you. The end of your nightmare will soon come to a close but your awakening began a long time ago. I look forward to seeing you again in your freedom and your future and guess what, I'm still here for you! NMW, Lord Dennis Fountain

Hey Daniel,

First of all I want to say that I really enjoyed reading your post! I am impressed with your clear view of this world, and believe people like you can make this world a better place. Keep up the good work!:)

What my life is about? I have absolutely no idea. The reason I don't know the answer is not because no one asked me this before. In fact, people have asked me this question many times.

The problem is that every time I decide to take some time to answer this question, the thought process in my head gets way to complicated, and after just a few minutes I end up with more questions than I started with. I end up with the feeling you described perfectly('What the #!@*!')

'There are only two tragedies in life: One is not getting what you want, the other one is getting it.'
Just like you said, in the end, the American dream does not make people happy. People always want more and more.
Enough of us know that the american dream is not the answer, but sticking with our current ideals feels much safer for most people because we have been 'trained' to live life by the ideals of The American dream ever since we were born.

Indeed it would be wonderful if we would be taught about inner peace, respect and your 3-point ideal at school, it would make life much better.
But the problem is, our teachers are as lost as we are.

I like your 3-point ideal (Can't think of any other name for it yet), and I strongly believe that if people set an example, people like you, this ideal will spread. It probably won't spread as fast and widely as we would like, but every human being is one.

Much respect!

Mike
