"I started dreaming about a certain set of stars and a voice was calling me to walk outdoors."
My father took a baseball bat from the corner of the room and started beating my mother over the head, face, and upper body. The darkest day of my life was the day they lowered her body into the ground.
"I started my speech to the parole board by stating; ‘I’m guilty of murder too, and the father of the person I killed forgave me and welcomed me into his family. So, who am I to not extend that same forgiveness to her?"
As the dreams continued I began to focus on the issue of forgiveness concerning my dad.
Bam! They hit me in the face with this metal baseball bat. They asked me again; “Give us your money! Give us your money!”
"I walked into the living room where she was and she said; “My chest is burning. My chest is burning.”
"Vietnam was the one place in the world that I never ever wanted to go back to."
One morning I woke up, and I turned on the TV, and the night prior to that I was watching an x-rated movie channel. When I woke up and turned on the TV it was on the 700 Club!
