First, I will write what Mr. Bernardo wrote me today and then give you, my response.
” Hi Mr. Grenon:
There has been a small delay in the appeal. The government ordered another transcript and the court reporter has been very slow in producing the transcript. The government does not have to file its brief until the transcript is filled. It is frustrating, but there is nothing we can do at this point. Again, I think we were very fortunate that the Supreme Court came out with those two decisions before we filed our brief. I am also monitoring all federal appellate courts in case a decision dealing with RFRA is published. I remain confident that we have raised very strong issues in your appeal. I will keep you updated.”
My Response:
” Mr. Bernardo,
Figures. I am not surprised. it’s the same old all the time. You see, when people do wrong, they believe they can put off the inevitable. But the Truth of God will hunt them down. This has been the whole game played by the government the whole time, it’s pretty easy to read. They know that nothing wrong was done and have had to try and make up a case, which they have. But the Bible says that God’s eyes are on the wicked and the righteous. And when He decides to move and bring justice, it will be too late for the wrong doers. But it is kind of childish, this play by the government. They are just putting off the inevitable, but the Truth is coming after them. Can’t hide from it. it’s a universal law, you will reap what you sow. I have sowed righteousness in my service to the LORD Jesus Christ and those who have opposed us have sown evil. So, God will take care of that, He alone is the only True and Righteous Judge, unlike many I know.
I do comprehend that there is nothing we can do at this time. Sometimes that is the best and safest place to be in, because the Lord will see and do His work. I am very grateful to you for your help and advice and I pray God’s blessings over you and your family. Thank you again for all you do and notifying me.
I did have a visit from 3 of my 5 boys, my wife and mother-in-law this past weekend. After 4 years. And I had a visit from my mother last month. I met my youngest son who is 4, for the first time. My wife was pregnant when I was kidnapped.
Thanks again

A servant of the LORD
