Karla Faye Tucker

4/25/2009

 
A short while ago I received a letter from a friend who lives on Long Island. He and his wife have a youth group which they run at a local church. He was telling me that just last week he shared with the teenagers in the group the story of Karla Faye Tucker...
Karla was a former ax murderer who was on Texas's death row for many years until the time of her execution. However, before her death, Karla became a Christian and lived out her faith on death row until it was time for her to leave this earth.

I myself once watched Karla Faye's testimony on film in the prison's chapel. To me she appeared to be articulate, remorseful, repentant, and beautiful. Clearly Karla was a Spirit-filled woman. But the best part of my friend's letter was when he told me that after watching Karla's story, five of those kids received Jesus Christ as their Savior and Lord.

Karla Faye was once a criminal who later became a saint. She faithfully ministered to many hearts while she waited to die. Her life impacted them in a good way. And while the media has apparently lost all interest in Karla since her passing some years ago, her story continues to inspire people.

Frankly, Karla Faye Tucker is not dead. Her soul is alive and well in heaven while the story of God's bountiful forgiveness in Karla's life lives on giving people hope. Even now she's winning souls for the Lord. So I want to say, "Way to go, Karla! I'm proud of you."
