Another Witness
Dear little family,
I write again from Los Lunas prison. Prison will never be home, but even here my Father visits with my heart. I was smiling today over the fact that in 2007 I felt my writing was over and I would retire. I would spend the rest of my life in quiet repose and introspection. Then the State attacked us, goaded by the media frenzy, and it was as if the Father were saying, “Not so fast; I want you to kill a dragon for Me.” So here I am, killing a dragon. But after all, the dragon did start it.
I quote from the Scriptures: “And the dragon was very angry with the woman” – that’s the church in the wilderness, “and went to make war with those that were left of her, who follow God’s instructions and have the testimony that Jesus had.” That’s Revelation 12:17. By that attack, the wrath of the Lamb was kindled. I quote: “For the great day of his wrath is come, and who shall be able to stand?” Revelation 6:17.
I have felt like a lonely soul on planet earth, until I read some of the writings of Henry David Thoreau that I found in the prison library. I was blessed that he could see the state of man and describe it very clearly, much as I have. His writings revived many thoughts in me, that I have had through the years as I have observed the machinations of mankind. As with Thoreau, I’ve always chafed at unjust controls that were arbitrary and against the Spirit that is in me. I have been a free spirit, which is to say, I allowed the Spirit within me to be free. I quote from Thoreau:
The state never intentionally confronts a man’s sense, intellectual or moral, but only his body, his senses. It is not armed with superior wit or honesty, but only with superior physical strength. I was not born to be forced. I will breathe after my own fashion. …If a plant cannot live according to it’s nature, it dies. And so, a man.
