A Ramble Remember those in prison I try to be Christ like [View all]

Not sure where in bible it’s mentioned a few times in bible. If I remember psalms and Hebrews , so anyway I’m on way into terminal this morning. And the four lane highway i traveled to freight terminal I saw men cutting grass those men were state prisoners.

So on my way home from my job I stopped at sheetz convince store to get milk for our sons and gas. And sitting in car I was like ok so I went back inside and bought payday candy bars Hershey bars couple pack cigarettes. And as I went by the prison workers van with guard sitting in it with portable toilet after I passed guard van ,I tossed candy bars and cigarettes out into medium strip they were working.

I don’t know what or why I just feel empathy compassion at 52 always been that way. I grew up white trash in Appalachia, over years pulled off being airborne infantry a teamster truck driver. My most amazing achievement is being a father and husband married 32 years to a lovely woman who has given us five awesome children.

But what I’m trying to say I do identify with the less fortunate
