“Yes! Things couldn’t have worked out any better than this! Linda, honey, just wait’ll you meet your darling ‘Blake’!” That evening, Haman sat at the desk in the Barrett library, reading Linda’s letters over again and letting his eyes devour her beauty as he kept glancing at her photograph. Grinning, he said, “I’ll go along with this Christianity stuff for a while, to keep your favor, but in time I’ll turn you from it. I’ll keep you so busy doing fun things you won’t want to go to church. I’ll do it ever so slowly, but ever so surely. You wait and see. The day will come when you’ll wonder why you ever embraced that ‘Jesus Christ stuff’ in the first place.” At the Ukiah State Prison, Blake Barrett found Larry Huffman in a state of confusion on spiritual matters. He dealt with him about salvation, hoping to lead him to the Lord so he would die on the gallows a saved man. Though Larry would say he believed the Bible was the Word of God, he still threw up a wall between himself and Blake, unwilling to listen to what Blake was trying to show him from the Word.
