Young Will,

Hey. Thanks for letting me know why Yashua and Destiny haven't been posting anything on my blog site. I hope that they make the best of this opportunity to review their past experiences in order to put everything into perspective and determine what they want and don't want in this life.

You can deliver messages to them? Tell them both that my prayers are with them—and David too (I hear that he is in some "last chance" program?). The best advice I can offer is for them to be honest with themselves. A pen and a pad of paper can offer them the rare opportunity to spellbud their life experiences thus far and then see for themselves all they've been through. This exercise will present memories of things done which only forgiveness can free them from. Trust me, Will. This is—can be—a priceless opportunity to review the past and determine a future. Can you give them pens and paper? Tell 'em it's their private cathartic journal which they can flush after they come to terms with their life. This is the best advice I have for them.

Also, look, bud—I've got friends in Montana who say there is a place for my kids up there. And there's plenty of work for anyone who can pass the drug tests. This is just something you all should know. Just in case, you know?

Yer gonna be a dad in a few weeks, eh? Wow! Look, Will, your kids were the best years of my life—and my biggest regret (for failing my responsibilities). Being a dad is a big thing. And I salute you for your commitment. Fare thee well.

Question: did my choices in life ruin your life? Do you blame me for failing you guys? When you got into trouble, should I have felt responsible?

Yet you feel responsible for your siblings' trouble? Perhaps your life has inspired them to take this time out so they can get back on their feet like you did. There is a motto in life to remember in everything you do: acknowledge YAH in everything. There is a divine plan you can express gratitude for—in everything.

I wish you all the best, son. Be Blessed.

P.S.
I received a comment from someone named Axel regarding my toolshed.com reference in my sermon blog post. I stand corrected. Thank you very much. It turns out that the rock band TOOL has fansites at toolband,com or dissectional.com (or so I'm told). Thanks.

The music I'm playing now while my kids purge: A Perfect Circle: Thirteenth Step.

*YAH = The Eternal
