Monday May 20, 2013 5:03 am Just waiting on breakfast listening to my music. I'm really tired and I got alot of sleep. I went to sleep before 7pm and didn't get up until 4am. I woke up at 2am but laid there until I fell asleep. I've got a couple of pastors to write this morning and some art work to do, just see how everything else unfolds.
9:46am. Wrote Anne and 2 churches which seems to be a waste of time, but try and try again. Well Elmer has 9 days to live. I seen something on capital punishment this morning saying Marshall Gore is set for execution on 6/24/13 at 6pm.
10:30am. As I was writing the chaplain came by and I've been standing there talking to him about 40 minutes. We had a good conversation. I enjoy talking to him. He's a really good guy. We just talked about some bible difficulties and my faith and the bible. Well I'm going to lay back and do a little bit of reading. And then write or do some art work
1:58pm. Been sitting here reading a book for the past couple of hours. The Encyclopedia of Bible Difficulties. I need to exercise. I keep saying it but not doing it. I've put the depression behind me, but these warrants and executions just put me in a very bad place. No where near that of the men and their families who are going through the machinery of death, a merciless machine that spits out the dead bodies of men and women in and under the fraudulent concept of justice. There's no justice in exchanging death for death. But we are a

sick people who like to exchange evil for evil. 3:15pm. The MP3 man just came through picking up the players. I hope he downloads the music and gets them back to s fast. He's bad about holding it 4 hours. I just cleaned the floor up and was fixing to do some push ups. It' so damn hot in here. I hate the summer months! I'd love it if I was on the beach. 4:13pm. They brought lunch no dinner. I gave it away. I can't eat that patty. I'm making beans, rice, and fish. It comes to just over $300 and it's a pretty good meal. Still waiting on the MP3 man. I'm going to mess around with some art.

4:47pm. Got he player back, listening to my music, trying to figure out what to do next. Need to exercise. Keep saying it, it just isn't getting done.

5:44pm. Well, I did a little exercise session, just push ups and cardio. I see a tornado hit Oklahoma City. I hope everyone there is okay. There's so much pain and anguish in this world. Way too much suffering. Well, I'm going to wash clothes and then wait on the shower's to get started. I'm pouring sweat.

Tuesday May 21, 2013 7:31pm. Just been writing a letter to a Christian organization. Got up at 4am. Was watching the news. Sad situation in Oklahoma. So many dead, and children at that life, so unjust! I'm glad my mom's down here and not out in Oklahoma. Well, I'm going to spend the morning writing. May do some artwork later on, and exercise. I should be going to the property room, so I can put some stuff on the front gate for my mom to pick up. I also have some stuff that I need to mail out. I'm going to do some reading

gram. see what I do from there. 4:55PM fixing to wash clothes and lay down and call it a day. Just another day on the row.

writing here in a bit. That's what I'll do this morning. 3:25PM. Spent the day messing with art, did some reading in this Christian
book which inspired me to write "salvation is not free." I'm sure to get alot of flake for that. But its the truth and it's backed up
and supported with scripture, still haven't got my light fixed and it's been over 2 weeks. Right now I'm waiting on dinner, should be
here about 4:30 then showers at 6:30 and then bed. I'll be glad to hit the bed and call it a day. For some reason I'm tired.

other day. He's been here right at 40 years. My dad's over at RMC Lake Butler dealing with some type of medical problems. Also word
