I just read in the word that your mouth speaks what your heart is full of. This is so true because I hear people speak a bunch of negative things and they always speak negatively of others. I am learning to distance myself from these types of people. As they have no desire to change […]

During my 23rd year of imprisonment, I read Aleksander Solzhenitsyn’s novel, One Day in the Life of Ivan Denisovich. The story portrayed the protagonist, Ivan Denisovich, and his ability to find small joys and meaning in the most mundane tasks while serving a ten-year sentence in a Soviet prison camp. The book shows how we can be […]
