Bloom Where You Are Planted

This blog was created March 11, 2015. The contents of this blog contain correspondence between Chuckwa Don Crabtree and Gina Gillispie.

Although the two have never met, they became friends via mail when Gina, editor of an online news site, first reported Chuckwa's story.

When Gina saw his arrest photo, there was something that tugged at her to believe this person had a story to tell.

She mailed her first letter September 7, 2012 and they have been writing ever since.

After several years, Chuckwa decided he wanted to begin to tell his life story and send a message of hope to those who still have choices to make...his goal is to spend his time doing good things and good work right where he is....

Chuckwa has decided...to bloom where he is planted.

The posts that you will read will be a mix of old letters, stories about his everyday life in the James V. Allred Unit in Iowa Park, Texas and stories from his boyhood growing up along the creek in Palo Pinto County, Texas.

He signs his letters...."The Callisburg Kid"

A MISUNDERSTANDING

Christian

Blessed is the man who fills his quiver with them! He shall not be put to shame when he speaks with his enemies in the gate. Psalm 175: 5
There was a misunderstanding on the part of the court reporter.  Mr. Herrmann has been hired by the court to do the fact finding that was ordered by the court of appeals, to see if my claims have any merit.

So depending on his research will decide whether I get any type of action.  If he decides that there are some unresolved issues, then he will make a note of it and let the court know of his findings and go from there.

In the meantime, I'm just doing this time and waiting for my grandson's arrival.  He should be on the scene before too much longer.

Nothing much going on around here to speak of.  It's the start of a new day.
