Guy sorry to see you in this situation. Sucks to see your ex acting like that too. Stay strong man. It looks like your doing the right thing and finding comfort in the lord. I really hope that you have turned away from that group of people that got you in there and the reason you are in AD-SEG. I found this blog by googling your name. Pretty cool. I wonder about how your doing sometimes. I'm doing alright, I've been out a year as of yesterday and am going back to school at Angelina College in Lufkin. I'll check back on this sight to see if you ever write back. Praying for you brother. Tell Sonny Reeves I said what's up if you ever get around him

Here is the mathematical code to determine if a number is divisible by 19. Multiply everything in front of the last digit by nine and subtract the last digit. If you get zero, nineteen, or a multiple of nineteen, the number will be divisible by 19. For example 57. Five times nine minus seven equals 38. Since 19 divides evenly into 38, it divides evenly into 57. Next example 114. Eleven times nine minus four equals 95. Since 19 divides evenly into 95, it divides evenly into 114. [Young]
