Father's Day

No better way to start out 2024 than sharing my 100 word testimony

  100-word testimony On June 25, 1999, my Thirtieth birthday, in the ******* County, *** **** jail, in solitary confinement, wearing only a ‘paper gown’, with two failed marriages behind me, two children whom I was certain I would never see again, several suicide attempts in the past, and now on my way to prison for crimes, I did not commit.
