Man, that's a lot to absorb--not intellectually but spiritually/psychologically. Family. My heart is broken for Roger Stone and his family as I have read about Nydia having lymphoma. That he remains undaunted despite obviously painful personal circumstances is a testament to his will to go where God leads. He and she are in my prayers and thoughts very much.

I very well remember the hit and run assassination attempt on Roger. I believe it was three or four years ago and there was an effort in the media to make it appear that he was lying about the matter. I recall that the police did not or were incredibly slow to report to the scene, as well. A pretty scary thing for someone who survived and is vulnerable to further attack while waiting for law enforcement. I do not wish to speculate how deeply the attack involved locals and foreign agents. How many times has he been poisoned now? My God. I assumed that his illness during his trial was more of the same, but perhaps it was simple food poisoning as was reported.

God is preserving him for a reason. I am taking your words (and his) very much to heart. In my own life, my family unit is sacrosanct and the source of my strength. We are a communicating, active and defended unit. Tip of the spear, all of us. And we don't sugar coat the dangers to our children, nor do we dumb down our expectations. What Roger and the Pauls experience can be visited in some form to any of us who make ourselves targets albeit at a smaller level than their fight in the global political sphere. Everything you've shared with me, I will share it with them.

Thank you for the offering of The Keystone, and of the strength and insight.
