Communion With a Higher Order

He had found himself, his true self, and what really matters in this life, while serving time in prison. He had ample time, throughout his 48 years of life to discover the meaning of life, since he had already languished for 20 years of his adult life behind bars. That was his reward for racking up 106 convictions for many different types of criminal activity.

Finding religion took long enough; he was obviously a slow learner.

That was all before he entered a man's home for the purpose of robbing him, before the homeowner, Kim Eric Logan, discovered the presence of a burglar in his home and attempted to defend himself and his possessions. James Davy Pilon, described by Ontario Superior Court Justice Douglas as the "most recidivist, persistent and unrepentant offender [he had] ever had to deal with is returning to a long prison stay.

For the past decade and more Pilon has been vowing that he was "filled with the Holy Ghost", which somehow hasn't hobbled him in his ongoing life-pursuit of illegal and criminal acts. Since he first began earnestly attempting to persuade prison wardens and lawyers and other members of the legal profession that he had found God, he went on to commit 66 additional crimes.

No one seems to want to understand the deep religious faith and conviction representing Mr. Pilon's new turn-about in life, it would seem. He has found redemption in faith. He has determined he will sin no more. He has discovered new insights into his life predicaments. Judge Rutherford, a judge of 20 years' standing, failed to be convinced.

"Your days as a menace to society and manipulating the system are nearing their end", he warned. Adding that any follow-up crimes to this last one will result in Pilon's being locked up indefinitely. Where, once again behind bars, he will be enabled to have profound revelations and epiphanies. Some of which may even lead him to the conclusion that his life has truly been a mug's game.

For the time being, this dedicated career criminal who stabbed the house owner over a dozen times with a screwdriver, has now been sentenced to an additional 8-1/2 years in prison custody. That should give him ample time to resume his communion with a Higher Order.
