115. “. . . The next morning when the guards marched into his cell with the documents Dmitri’s back was straight, his shoulders were squared, and there was strength on his face and in his eyes. He looked at his captors and declared, ‘I am not signing anything!’ The guards were incredulous. They thought that he was beaten and destroyed. ‘WHAT HAPPENED?!’ they demanded to know. Dmitry smiled and told them, ‘In the night God let me hear the voices of my wife, my children and my brother praying for me. You lied to me. I now know that my wife is alive and physically well. I know that my sons are with her. And I also know that they are still in Christ. So I’m not signing anything. . . .” ~ Nik Ripken
