A journal written in a place of desolation, solitary confinement. I want to bring hope and strength to people when their life seems impossible through all life struggles and under duress. I found hope and truth in the darkest place on earth, take a look into my mind in this darkness. Colossians 2.5 says, "For though I am absent in body, yet I am with you in sprit, rejoicing to see your good order and the firmness of your faith in Christ" Also, words from a man living in the darkness with chains and mine to you and anyone else who wants to listen. I pray this journal brings hope and blessings to those suffering in situations that seem impossible.
