Daniel Lee, Wesley Purkey, Dustin Honken, Lezmond Mitchell, Keith Nelson, William LeCroy, Christopher Vialva, Orlando Hall, Brandon Bernard, Alfred Bourgeois, and Lisa Montgomery will not have died in vain. Their state-sponsored killings are outrageous and cannot be forgotten.

Jesus didn’t call it “social justice.”

If we would only Love our neighbors beyond comfort, borders, race, religion and other differences that we’ve allowed to be barriers, “social justice” would be a given.
Love makes justice happen.
