ARE YOU READY?

Please join me in prayer for my dear friends and their families:




(February 2010)




Kevin:
is on death row at a Texas Prison and has been given an execution date. He is now on death watch. He has been asking where God is, but does not seem to have a personal relationship with Him. Please pray for Kevin to meet Jesus before his execution.

Thank you for your prayers! See Kevin's last words, at his execution:

Kevin, 41, was upbeat and smiling as the lethal drugs were delivered into his arms. "I know I took someone very precious to you," he told the parents and friends of his victim as they watched through a window. "I wish what was torn from you was not." He said he loved them, asked them for forgiveness but said he didn't require it "because God has forgiven me." "I hope you find peace," he said. He turned his head toward his mother, who watched through a window in an adjacent room, and told her he would "go to sleep and wake up with Jesus." "This is the only way God could save me, Mom," he said. After thanking the warden, a chaplain and God, he uttered a loud sigh as the drugs began taking effect. "Oooh! Thank you Jesus," he said. "I'm going, Mom."

Please pray for Kevin's mother and two sons. It has been very hard on them.
