I recently received an SD card from a friend of mine at a prison facility here in Nebraska, with a video of himself on it. Caught me off guard at first, because this isn't something the NDCS normally does! As I watched the video, I was encouraged and inspired, because he poured his heart out and stood in his power and said what he needed to say. He talked about how he's used his time in prison to better himself, and listed off some of his accomplishments. He took some time to thank his friends and family that have stood by him through the entire ordeal. And then, he caught me off guard, when took time to thank his "haters." Not sarcastically, not with any malice in his voice, but genuine thanks. Tonight, I get to tell some of his story and why he owes such thanks to those that tried to take him down.
