Hey there, stay positive.. People make mistakes.. God forgives than so should everyone else.. I'm in a relationship were my boyfriend dis 16 years for murder.. He is out, accepted by his community and a great person! He made a mistake and paid or him.. But you seem to have a good head on your shoulders and with not knowing your circumstances.. I hope you have freedom in your future! GOD BLESS and keep your chin up high, and always remember "YOU ARE WORTH IT!" Sincerely-Ashley Mae

Hi Tay, I sent out a reply to your "afterthoughts" letter today...never received the original one...grrrrr...I think my neighbour is stealing my mail. I am getting myself a PO Box and will send you the new address soon...Hugs,Cori
Patrick, This is excellent. You are right in its similarities to some of the Buddha's teachings. Here is one poem from the "Discourse on Knowing the Better Way to Live Alone." Do not pursue the past. Do not lose yourself in the future. The past no longer is. The future has not yet come. Looking deeply at life as it is in the very here and now, the practitioner dwells in stability and freedom.
However, Patrick, you do need to proof-read better. There are too many spelling/typographical mistakes that I know you know better than to make.
Still it's very good reading. Thank you, for your thoughtful efforts— Nancy
Dear Friend, I wonder if this is the tree I stood in front of to have my picture taken with my Husband last year....I want to thank you for your blog and how you truly take a stand on what you believe in. There are many out there that hide the truth and I can only wonder...what are they hiding. What am I hiding?? Don't we all have something about ourselves, to hide? Some get caught and because of where they are, they are judged based on it...sad, but true. I have to defend my husband to people who think he is nothing, yet I am told by my Lord to love everyone, reach out to everyone, help everyone. Am I not the example?? Shouldn't my life reflect that of my Savior? If I treat everyone as if they are my brother and sister in Christ, not judge them and love them, shouldn't I expect them to treat others, including my husband, the same?? How sad to live in a society that cannot or will not judge themselves first, then be reminded not to judge others based on their own mistakes and bad choices. You have given many forgotten souls a voice...I am one of them......Grateful, Cita
