My thoughts ,,,,
Self proclaimed self serving prison theologians and false prophets who deceive in their teachings for their personal gains are not deserving of anyones' attention! Need a reference? 1 Timothy 6:3-12 I accept many things and a few can be explained as simply as: there are people that talk the talk and there are people that walk the walk and if you can't practice what you preach, shut your mouth. I don't need a bible verse and religion to demonstrate this. Obviously being here for you or anyone is beyond the comprehension of someone that present themselves only when the opportunity for their personal gain is available. Once that is gone they create their list of excuses like: don't listen to anyone else, I've given you all the advice you need and since you won't do as I say my feelings have changed. Is that the definition of unconditional? As Clayton Williams once told me: stop listening to people that continually fail but somehow know what you need to do to succeed and start listening to people whom havent failed! I've failed many times and I've never had all the answers and I've never claimed to but that doesn't and hasn't stopped me from trying. That shouldn't stop you either!!! NMW, Dennis
hi healther my name is joseph. reading your blog you seem like a very smart out going individual. also its a little early but i thought i would be the first to wish you a happy birthday. i hope your friends give you a nice day. 36 huh? you look a lot younger in that picture i would say 26. anyway i just wanted to say keep your head up. pursue your goals and everything will fall into place.
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!

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...
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.
