Most Recent Reflection
View all 74 ReflectionsI know that people check in here periodically so I wanted to let everyone know that there was a parole hearing for Peter Wieland yesterday. It was very emotional as always. He's 71 and was granted parole. He should be getting out of prison in about 6 months.
I appreciate all of you for showing Scotty your love.
