My own little disclaimer

As i sit on my comfortable overstuffed camel back sofa and type on my gaming ASUS deluxe laptop, sipping my ginger-ale and cranberry juice with a lemon and a lime wedge, snacking on Chile cheese corn-chips, and contemplating what to do next....i had a thought.  I want my readers to know this....i do not want violent dangerous prisoners freed from their cells!!  I do not want the public at risk from these folks.  That's not who i am or what i am all about.  I just want inmates taken care of the way they are supposed to be in a manner acceptable for a civilized, educated, modern, and free nation.  And the way our tax dollars say they should be.     Hence, my effort up there to illustrate my comfortable and well furnished home.  These prisoners are in misery.  AZ prisons just got the right for a/c and it's as hot as 130 degrees F. on the pavement outside their cells.  This is not just a luxury, it's a necessity.  The prison cant even hire enough guards to work in this cesspool because who would wish to work in AZ with no a/c and in dangerous conditions?   I sure would not!   That is what i do not like.  My Forgotten & Failed blog goes into some detail about me, what made me, what got me here where i am.  I am writing somewhere between 30-40 inmates, mostly on death-row for those whom do not know.  All women, 1 male.     Of those, i am convinced a few, as in 3, are innocent.   I don't really know about the rest.  Their guilt or innocence doesn't really matter to me because that's not what i do.  It just happens after writing for a long time, i became convinced these 3, Shawna being one, were innocent and agreed to try to help promote that.  
A few things about me:  If your really curious please go to my Forgotten & Failed blog and read the "welcome" and "the middle years".   I am not ashamed of who i am, i am not ashamed any longer about the things i have done because the Lord has forgiven them. I do not much care what people think or if they forgive me or not because they neither rule me nor judge my fate.   It's not that i think i am so important, here's my life story.  It's that i want to impress upon people the Lord has been very good to me and i hope u will give him a try and see where he leads u.  I want people to realize the Lord did not pick kings, queens, the rich, lawyers, doctors, popular or beautiful people to break bread with or follow him.   He chose people like me, you, and these people in prison.    
I do not want sympathy.  I do not want attention.  I do not want money.  I have everything i need.  My physical health is poor but i do not care because i will receive a glorious new pain free body in heaven.  I live a modest but very comfortable life.  My only sibling was murdered in 1985 and i have finally made peace with that.  Well, the Lord gave me peace after 30 years of misery.   And i mean misery.  Now, i am far from perfect, dont anyone misunderstand.  Some days, i feel awful and rip into anyone near me or agitating me.  But that is becoming less as the Lord helps me see the joy and beauty in life, that i somehow missed during those ugly, black, miserable 30 years.   
So what do i want?   Just to share the good news about the Lord Jesus to inmates and anyone else who will listen.  To brighten their day and give them a smile and hope.   Let them know I CARE. And i care because the Lord says to care, visit, and treat prisoners as if they were him.    Thanks for reading this. Please be kind to all living things and thank God dearly for your family and home and everything you own.   You never know when it could all be ripped out from under you or when your world could be turned upside down.  
(I am not in English class, so i choose to write the way that makes me comfortable.  Because i can and because if all folks take away from this is that i use terrible English and grammar.....well it's their loss, because i choose to smile and be happy).    Much love to all, Rae
