As I sat with my family around our dinner table, I watched the clock. Every second hastened the execution of Christopher Wilkins. Though we interacted multiple times, we weren’t friends. Honestly, I really didn’t even like the guy. I found him to be a hardened evil person. That doesn’t mean I wanted him to die. As the clock drew closer and closer to 6pm, I began to pray for Wilkins. My wife knew what was going on. I know she was praying to. As the time of execution arrived, my son leaned over and asked, “Does everyone go to heaven?” In that moment, I remembered the last thing Wilkins said to me, “See you on the other side.” From a place deep within my soul, I looked at my son and said, “Yes.” Christopher Wilkins was declared dead at 6:29pm.
Amen.
