Romans 12:17
I arrived home after work one evening to a visual riot of flashing lights in the parking lot of my small apartment building. Inside my one-bedroom unit, the sour smell of stale vomit filled the air. Police paused and firemen fussed with their equipment as my poor cat cowered in her closet redoubt. The air mattress that Carl and his wife, Donna, h Read more of this blog post »

of
A Past That Lies Before Me: A University Professor's memoir/exposé of being arrested, entangled in the criminal justice system, loss, jail, and unexpected blessings:
"Perfect title for this memoir. An eyeopener into the experiences of those incarcerated and the indifference with which they are treated. Carefully detailed by the author. A very good read."

“This quote is from Oscar Wilde's short book, De Profundis, and from which I got the title for my book: "What lies before me is my past. I have got to make myself look at that with different eyes, to make the world look on it with different eyes, to make God look on it with different eyes. This cannot be done by ignoring it, or slighting it, or praising it, or denying it. It is only done fully by accepting it as an inevitable part of the evolution of my life and character.”
