Thanks for writing! I worked on the transcription for your post.

Russell,
This is Severns. You gave me this contact before I went on vacation back in July of last year. When I went on vacation I planned to return to work and retire in October, however, I ended up staying out on vacation until December and my first day of retirement was actually December 26,2024.
I did have opportunity to talk to Mr. Rojas and he told me that you had paroled. Congratulations! I hope things are going well for you. I'm sure there are lots of complications and challenges but I hope and pray that with God's help you are successful in readapting to life on the outside.
I don't have a computer at home, so was limited to using my smart phone which has a very small screen and slow to type. Today I have a few minutes between patients, so I'm taking the opportunity to send you a message while I'm at work. This is much easier that trying to type with your thumbs or hunt and peck with one finger.
Also, I wasn't sure how this website works, so that caused me to be a little reluctant. It says that they will print and mail my reply, so I hope you get this message. I don't know if or how you will be able to respond to my letter, but I'll give it a try and we'll see what happens.
As I said, I retired from the state December 26th. I'm still working in the community three days a week. That leaves me with a four day weekend every week and yet does keep me busy with something to do the other three days. Seems to me to be a pretty good balance!
I want you to know that I have prayed for you. I confess, not as often as I intended, but you are in my prayers. If you are able to get a message back to me maybe you can let know some specific things to pray for and that will help me to be more consistent.
I would especially like to know about your hopes for going to Arkansas and start a nonprofit to help others who are getting out of prison. I pray that may someday become a reality. I suppose you will likely need to complete your parole time in California, so it will likely be a long term goal.
God bless you brother as you are readjusting to life outside.
Ron Severns

My dearest dearest fried!
It is I, Robert Russell, free on the outside, sober as a freeman longest period since I was twelve, as you, doc Severn may recall.
How fondly I’ve thought of you, thats why I finally decided to go on this site, and there you are. God continues to Amaze me my friend. I am exceeding well, still sober, learning to live life on life’s terms as you so lovingly taught me.

When first released I sent to work with Vermont outlet as a custom window and screen fabricator. Then I got sick. The day I quit, to sick to work, I received a call my SSI was approved.

The illness cost me eight months when I didn’t even know my name most of the t8me! So co7ldnt manage my affairs and lost all benifits, which are now recovered and being surrendered.

I have launched (see me on cringes list) Omega Brush Clearing service of Los Angeles. 😁 I have a new work truck, all my tools. I am launching in under the thousand limit for unlikeness for eleven jobs, then launch fully licensed as Omega Ecology Restoration Services. It’s a fully francisable business model and have dear friends i told you all about who are taking on marketing that aspect while I do my prof of concept work.

I created it as a Social Enterprise model where 15% of all net automaticly gets kicked into In His Way, a homeless outreach min8stry. 😁 tomorrow i cover the ridgeline with my 11xx17” flyers, and put up door hangers and knock on doors, amen. I would so love to share a in house version of my completed business plan, is there a way?

My business plans are for duration of parole. Once discharged I’ll institute my escape plan built into plan, take proceeds, and with backers, The Ranch shall be, Lord willing, be born. He has confirmed over and over again that what he has for me isn’t secular work at all. But I’ll do this till then, maybe even open an omega franchise under the ranch umbrella? It’s so so good to be sober and alive. I hope you can read this. I am go8ng to attempt to locate you. As your not with the state, I have enough issues right not to completely fill you r four days off!

God bless you pastor, I love you and will die giving thanks for your work in my life. Period. Fact.

In His Grip,
I remain,

Russ
Robert A. Russell. (Gal. 2:20)

Ps.please, please contact me if you can. I could desperately benifits from your presence renewed in my life.
