I've often wondered if they racked him over and over. Know his torture was incredible.
One of those tortures was strappado, in which the victim's wrists are tied together behind the back and then to a line over a beam near the ceiling. The victim is lifted by that line and then dropped part-way, again and again.
Indescribable ... he’s right when he
pronounces his deep faith in God, tho
he hasn’t spoken publicly much about
it.
You just know it had to forever change
him. How could it not? Some are changed
into complete bitterness and self-
destruction. And I understand that, too.
He’s blessed to have survived and been
able to enjoy a productive life and what
seems like a simply wonderful family.
So many haven’t been able to. It has to
be by God’s grace for the sheer enormity
of the horrors and suffering, physical and
mental, he endured and lived thru.
I can’t imagine how one could stand
over 5 years of such inhumanity and
cruelty and survive. I simply can’t
imagine that much courage and fortitude.
God bless him.
