Your notes are appreciated and I review them again and again. I have grown in my faith and belief so profoundly that I have made a 180 degree change from what I was to who I am now."

"I have definitely seen Proverbs 16:7 happening to me ('When a man's ways please the lord, He makes even his enemies be at peace with him.') Thank you so much for Proverbs for Life. It has helped me understand how to live for God better here in prison."
