Lenten Reflections from the Executed: #520 Robert Ladd / January 29, 2015

*These reflections are taken from pieces of the last words of the last 40 persons executed in Texas.

Robert Ladd-

“Let’s ride.”

We stop. We are afraid. We don’t want to move an inch. Danger is a paralyzing force. In the face of certain death, Robert Ladd looked danger in the eye and shrugged. If we place our trust in God, we too can have such confidence.

Staring down whatever danger you face, I invite you to pray the last words of Robert Ladd:

“Let’s ride.”

Amen.
