FRESH START OUTREACH

Richard Benton

Hello, I’m Ricky, and at the moment my life isn’t where I’d like it to be. I’ve realized, after losing my very dear mother to a car accident, that I really need contact with the outside world to keep focused on a positive frame of mind, because I’m surrounded only by negativity. I have 9 years left on my sentence. I’ve been in this super-max going on 11 years now. I’d like an adoptive family, or a friend or two for this journey.

I’m in a one-man cell 23 to 24 hours each day so I have a lot of time to think. I’d really like to discuss some of life’s issues and mysteries with someone. Hey, even if you just write me once or twice to share your perspective, that’s ok with me because after all it’s the thought that counts most.

These are some of the questions going through my mind I hope to get more understanding of:
1. Is there really a God?
2. Do you believe in destiny… or choice?
3. Why do bad things happen to good people?

So, through the mysterious ways things work in this world, I’d love to get as many responses to this as possible. In more ways than one, logic suggests that we, as intuitive human beings, have asked ourselves questions in search of truth, understanding, and better development. Most importantly, your opinions will be highly respected and appreciated.

Be frank! Be true! Be you!
