From David

David sent me this blog post. It is dated September 16, 2009.

David writes:

I've been in jail for just three days now. It seems like three years. I decided to move from general population to protective custody so I could actually try to keep working on this initiative. I think it would be impossible to so it otherwise. Plus, I felt less than safe knowing the N&O article was coming out this weekend. There is alot of time to think in here. Too much really. Mostly I've been praying, reading, and talking to a few folks. I've slept on the floor, eaten foods I'm not sure what it was, and worn the same jumpsuit for 3 days. But, despite all this, I'm still grateful to be free from my addiction.

Some were so awful suggesting David should be shot and the nasty things said about Lisa being naive and such. How hurtful and so further from the truth. I want to yell back at them and say they don't know them like I do but of course that wouldn't be of any help. If Lisa was naive before, she sure isn't now. I worry for both of their safety especially David's at this point.

If I may, I really suggest utilizing the serenity prayer many times throughout the day. It helps.
