Praying for Ed as well. I had Amazon send 2 paperback books to Ed and followed your directions Elsa to a T so he should get them. Soon I’m dropping him a line. I’m just slow.

I don't know if I'm on the right track about the writing. It's just what came to mind. I know I've been stuck myself.

Thank you so much for sending Ed the books. I will ask him to let me know when they arrive. As for dropping him a line, so many of us have inner blocks to just writing, especially as Ed is not someone you know. What to say? A suggestion: tell him a bit about who you are, and why you care. And that you're praying for him. Make the writing easy. Maybe even put a time limit: 15 minutes. It's not about perfect.

Yes, these are great suggestions and I have also sent him relatable quotes and poems as well to hopefully lift his spirits. I tell him he is not alone and that many care and are praying for him. I hope this lifts him up.

Yes, what you are doing is great. Reiner has a large support network, and keeps saying how important this is for him - all the letters of support. Ed has lived a very different life - more like so many people. Every bit of support for him is so very important.

so much cruelty in the world, whilst the criminal perpetrators live in luxury. No words, just am thinking of Ed and sending heartfelt positive vibes.

Loved his story, it seems to be the ones that understood what freedom was at a young age and didn't get indoctrinated that always sought truth and justice.

That early commitment to freedom - very impoertant.

This story was quite entertaining. If it was a truthful representation of the facts involved, it would serve as another example of injustice perpetrated by the misuse of our wonderful judicial system.

It should grieve the hearts of everyone to learn of the personal suffering some people have experienced as a result of being unjustly accused of criminal activity.

My prayers are directed at comforting those innocent individuals who have had to suffer through such cruel circumstances and for God’s mercy to intercede and correct the wrongdoing.
