Jermain Wesley Loguen (Jarm Logue) fled his enslavement, regrettably leaving behind his mother and siblings. His former owner's wife wrote him to tell him that they were encountering hard times and to ask him to pay her for his freedom as he was a thief who stole himself. Not only this, but telling him that circumstances had led her to sell his siblings away.
His reply is what I have been thinking on these last few days. For those of us who struggle to find the right words when confronted with a bully and/or a horrible situation, Rev. Loguen wrote with grace and authority, saying exactly what one wishes he would have.
