A Prisoner's Plea

Dear Friends,

I frequently receive letters from incarcerated readers, most recently due to the publication of "Chicken Soup for the Prisoner's Soul." Many of them are very touching.

Today, I received a letter from a man in prison in North Carolina, a "loner with no one wanting to talk to me." He wrote, "I spend most of my time alone in a little room writing and reading. Therefore, I would say to you, that if you know of someone who would like to write a lonely person with no friend other than Jesus Christ...," he would be most grateful. "I need a friend just to talk to. Nothing more. I'm not a con man. Just a lonely man needing mail from someone outside the prison system."

I'm hoping that with this posted on my Journal, someone might read it who has the time and heart to be a ray of light in the life of this man. If it's you, please write to me on my comments page and I will send you his address.

Thanks.

Marianne
