Hi Jack...........good to hear that you're "having a good day". Being on an honour yard seems to have a downside as well. Stick with it......you'll land a job soon and by applying yourself advancement is on the cards. Nobody should have to spend their time looking over their shoulder if they don't want to be involved in all the drama that can occur.
Keep on keeping on! Your blog is an outlet and unlike many at BTB does not seek to blame anyone and everyone for their situation. If only you could read some of the stuff on here you would realise how refreshingly honest you are. I get the sense that the communication helps with the stuff that happens after lockup at night. Marci (who commented before me) seems to be a window to the free world and you are blessed to still have your sister, her partner and her family in your life.
No-one knows what is round the corner but in the meantime..........stay strong.
Thanks for your post! I don't know what to make of our cat videos being on the news. I think the news channels must have changed over the decades, from providing real content to viewers who reacted to that content with thoughts and engaged reactions. Now the news seems to pander to viewership and is going along the lines of entertainment... I don't know how we get back to the news before -- not that it was perfect, but at least it was encouraging people to think about issues, rather than distract themselves with funny or cute things. - Katrina, medical student in Boston
Given your history and cases you are probably the least qualified person to preach about compassion. If you had been a member of the Baptist church perhaps you wouldn't be where you are.
Someone once told me - he may have been reciting some Biblical passage - that G-d has more thoughts for each life than there are grains of sand on a beach. And your experience confirms this statement. What seemed in the beginning as a painful punishment, became your ticket to knowing the greatest Joy possible and to eternal salvation. You know much more, love much more, LIVE much more than most people have ever done so. Between cheap amusement (movies, video games, &c.) and deep fulfillment ("Shalom" in Hebrew; complete connection with G-d and others), the latter is infinitely better. Quite literally, for cheap amusement disappears at our death, of which no one can predict; while deep fulfillment with our Creator secures happiness here, after death, and on Jesus' return. Keep it up, brother! Continue to imitate Christ and write this blog! Hope to laugh about our earthly times together, some eternal time later in Christ's kingdom. Your brother in Christ, Calhoun25

Some of the spellings may be different - I'm English and spellings tend to be slightly different.
Thank you for taking the time to enlighten us with your feelings towards corruption. I hope one day your voice will be heard.
Keep your head up.
God bless.

It was clear that this came from deep inside you. It truly brought a tear to my eye. I know your Mother loves you.
Keep safe and keep your head up.
God bless.
