hello Bob,

i hope you get the mail today, 2nd of September as announced? Here schools start again.

How is everything going for you? Maybe a letter of yours is underway? And tells me all about you? How are your studies going? Are you satisfied with your progress?

I see now my 'soon' was a long time! Ouch! Sorry for that. I was gone twice in the southern part of my country; where people speak French. Near a big river or stream: La Meuse, in French; de Maas in Flemish.

I got to know a lady; Marilou. I just arrived with the train in Namur (French)/Namen (Flemish)and waited at a stop for the bus.
She sat on the same bus and she later showed me a little around in her village. She is 67 and has now just a new grandchild: Florent.

Her husband died 4 months ago that particular day! We stay in contact now.

In the train home I got to talk with a woman in her seventies: Marie Rose. She lives near my mom. In Brussels, our capital.
She likes the cultural life. And we plan to see each other to visit a museum or else?

I got a phone call. I've to go!!

Have an interesting day, Bob!

Take very well care of yourself, eh!

love Rita
Then I'm not on internet.

No matter how capriciously or arbitrarily you feel it is capital murder is one of the punishments that may be applied to a range of crimes. The prosecutor may elect to seek the death penalty in a case but he was not the person who elected to commit the crime. In many cases the perpetrator refuses a plea to a lesser sentence...........not because he is innocent but, in his arrogance, believes he can beat the system and get away with murder.

The families of death-sentenced prisoners suffer not because of the actions of the state but because of the actions of the person who committed the crime. That it takes so long between sentence and execution is largely down to the never ending appeals by prisoners. The same people who call it cruel and unusual and a drain on family emotions will invariable file motions up to the last moments before execution. Who then is submitting families to cruel and unusual punishment?

I agree that it takes too long to carry out sentence but now that there is the Timely Justice Act on the Florida books perhaps this may be ameliorated.

Always remember who committed the crime and accept responsibility. Blaming alcohol and drugs is a cop out. There are millions of people who have issues with both but never murder another human being..........leaving family and friends to grieve without the luxury of being able to say goodbye.

You know I learned in church once that the Devil is the best actor of all and honestly he can be telling you that so you think that God doesn't love you and maybe he knows that you're vulnerable to that kind of thing and he's taking advantage of that so he can easily trick you. I hope you don't believe it. I can honestly tell you that God genuinely and absolutely loves you, even if you don't care about Him. In this very moment you are loved. More than the most loving parent could ever love their child. And that feeling is the best feeling in the world. I wasn't able to understand this until recently and just thinking about that love brings me to tears because you'd think it's too good to be true. So please never think God ever thinks of you as a Devil. God loves you even though you've sinned and wants the absolute best for you. If you really want to hear God's sweet words talk to you (literally that's what it feels like- I've experienced it.) then I invite you to read the Bible. Read the book of John -it's so powerful that It will bring you to tears and you will feel so much joy in the places you've never felt before. Like your heart will burn with love. It's one of those feelings you never want to go away. I wish the best for you and that one day you may find Christ and his love because you'll never regret it.

What I get from this beautifully drawn piece of art is that you covet the freedom of the birds, and that you think about the day that you will finally be free. I think it's a lovely drawing and it inspires so much hope and that hopefully one day you will earn your freedom.

Long have I walked around with a chip on my shoulder; angry at the world for various reasons. I feel like I'm finally ready to face my demons & the skeletons in my closet. Thank you for pouring your honesty and emotions out on a page. I truly enjoy reading your blogs :)

I know how that feeling is...I had love for a man who only cared about ice and the feelings it gave him and never saw how deeply I cared for/about him. I put myself through that for almost 7 years before I got out. It's hard; loving someone so fiercely that just needs/wants you for something like that. Granted I do not know your situation nor whom you speak of...but I know how it hurts, and how long it takes to recover. I wish you a brighter future and for someone to value you for you, not your occupation nor your 'street skills'. Keep writing tho! It helps..
