Guestbook

My cousin is in a state correctional insititution for murder. He is proud of his Native American heritage and tries to read and follow the spiritual guides of the Native American through their writings. This does not include God and our Savior Jesus.

I am one of only a couple of people he has any contact (only through letters, as he is in another state). His late mother, my aunt, was my inspiration and rock as I was growing up. The Holy Spirit worked through her to keep me in God's grace. Unfortunately, her son has not chosen this path. Since she has died (after he was incarcerated), I have been stuggling on how to gently guide him. I feel I must do this for her, as they were very close, and I know she prayed and tried and talked to him daily.

His last letter and short phone call was very disturbing. All I can say to discribe it is that his soul was in turmoil. It has been a couple weeks since I have written back, because I was searching, and praying, asking the Lord how I can respond.

Then, I read your story in Guideposts. When Rev. Burchfield told you that your soul was in danger, I had to stop reading for a second. It was as if God was telling me that this was the way to help my cousin.

So, I am sending a printout of your story in Guideposts, and hope to send your book to him, also.

I just wanted to say thank you, and to let you know that I am using your life to help my cousin. I am sure the Lord will be their with my cousin and guide him in understanding your words to help his soul.

Thank you,
Barb
