From a 5 April 2011 Letter
---------------------------------------
Anne, if you could consider Sticks' prayer intention for visitors. His wife has left him. A lead for the kitchen assembly line, soft spoken, bedraggled unshaven, he admits that's he's at the anger stage of grief. He has, I think, less than six months remaining on his sentence here at Seattle FDC. Anne, his grey eyes yearn for a compassionate listener, even a penpal could sooth his need for connection. This morning he quotes from The Remnant, a book in a series I frankly don't know the author of, saying it narrates a history of the apocolypse, revelation period where the followers of the risen anti-Christ meet in secret with a code greeting, "He is risen" and reply "Chris is risen, indeed."
