mp3 SYNOPSIS:This letter was read to me to me two weeks before this now God-reliant man is to be baptized. I transcribed it from his handwritten copy. I have known him for a year. Prison ministry can be quite exhausting and even very frustrating (the devil is truly in the details), but the rewards are incalculable. It is always amazing and even surprising to see somebody "gets it". I think God gives these kinds of consolations to pastors, and strugglers in general, to keep us going. I have a friend that I tease because she sees metaphor in everything; well, it takes one to know one. I met Pete literally five days before my son +Daniel died last year. Only a few days after the anniversary of his death, will have the privilege of bringing Pete into new life. I have been given permission to propagate this letter.
