Challenges
February 13, 2023
I was talking today with someone who is very wise. The discussion had to do with the difference between something being seen as a challenge to be overcome in spite of the dangers involved versus something to be feared and avoided because of the dangers involved. The answer is attitude. It was a very interesting […]

A Look at True Compassion
May 25, 2013
I wanted to go a different way with this blog, well maybe not different. I want to approach my topic from an obscure angle. I want people to understand compassion. Not compassion for me, just compassion in general. And recently, I have encountered people who have shown me what compassion really is, what love really […]
Keep readingOf Thinking Blog #1
December 31, 2012
Do you refuse knowledge because it does not go along with what you want to believe? This is called intentional ignorance. It is the basis of most prejudice and is a barrier to finding solutions to any problems affected by it. This issue is relevant to my blog because 99.9% of our population cannot think […]

September 12, 2012
Wanted to talk to you for some while about the things that I am doing while I am in prison to further my goals of changing the world by being positive force in ending the crime of the sexual abuse of children. My thought in telling you this is so that you know that I’m […]
Keep readingWhat is Abuse?
August 19, 2012
Have been keeping up with the Sandusky tragedy. And something occurred to me, what is abuse? I mean, I know what abuse is, but I wonder does everyone else. To most of us, abuse is something like what is going on with Sandusky, laced with overt violence and abuse of everything. Sandusky was the epitome […]

May 26, 2012
I have talked about being reasonable and even understanding when it comes to dealing with sex offenders as I believe that this is necessary to start on the path to eliminating this crime. Right now all that we do with our sex offender laws is react to a situation that has already happened. They do […]
Keep readingThe Immediate Reactions
March 20, 2012
Your immediate reactions following the knowledge that your child has been sexually abused can have consequences that affect the long-term healing of your child. When we learn something like this, our initial reaction will normally be one that is filled with disbelief and shock and emotion. These are normal reactions and are okay to feel. […]

January 10, 2012
The first thing that I heard when I was contacted by my victim (one of my children) was that she was having nightmares for the last ten years because she thought that I hated her and would come to get her for coming forward because I was abusing her. Since that time, I have learned […]

January 6, 2012
Thought a lot about this entry and what I wanted to say. In the last couple of months or so the issue of the sexual abuse of children has come to the fore. Read at least 2 or 3 articles a week in the papers on sexual abuse or paedophilia. Mostly good info. And the […]

December 8, 2011
As someone who has committed a sex offense, I have a duty to do what it takes to insure that I never harm anyone ever again. They say that someone who offends sexually can never be cured much in the same way as a drug addict. Now I believe that a cure means finding the […]
Keep readingJustice Completed
September 23, 2011
What does a victim require to feel that justice is served? That is a question that everyone feels they have the answer too. But just like offenders, victims are a homogeneous group and have different needs when it comes to the completion of justice. The completion of justice is what it takes to allow the […]
