taking the words of Jesus seriously

Our brother Duane Buck, known as “Preacher Buck”, is facing the death penalty in TX, but a movement has risen up to stand against it. Here’s the petition:

Above is a photo of former Texas governor, Mark White, delivering the petition to the DA.  What a great way to celebrate Easter than trying to stop another death.

Here’s the piece I wrote on Duane a while back, and got to talk with his family on the phone.

Praying for a stop to this execution and an end to all executions… in the name of the executed and risen Christ.
