Would you have it in your heart
to send a word of cheer to Ben?

Nothing can cheer a forgotten prisoner more than
the kind thoughts and snail mail of total strangers--
It's true, lots of people would never consider writing an inmate,

But I can tell you it would mean so much to Ben.

You cannot send him email of course.
Do not omit his prisoner number. Ben,
like all prisoners, needs small amounts
of cash, in prison for incidental items,
not provided. Occasionally someone can help,
and he expresses his gratitude for any who can.

Not as though I had already attained, either were already perfect: but I follow after, if that I may apprehend that for which also I am apprehended of Christ Jesus.

Brethren, I count not myself to have apprehended: but this one thing I do, forgetting those things which are behind, and reaching forth unto those things which are before,

I press toward the mark for the prize of the high calling of God in Christ Jesus.

Philippians 3: 12-14

Lost is our old simplicity of times, the world abounds with laws, and teems with crimes.
