Continue to have faith and do what you
know is right. Some people have rejected this,
and their faith has been shipwrecked.

1 Timothy 1:19

I sit a few feet from a man on death row. Jewish by birth. Tentmaker by trade. Apostle by calling. His days are marked. I’m curious about what bolsters this man as he nears his execution. So I ask some questions.

Do you have family, Paul? I have none.

What about your health? My body is beaten and tired….

Any awards? Not on earth.

Then what do you have, Paul? No belongings. No family…. What do you have that matters?

I have my faith. It’s all I have. But it’s all I need. I have kept the faith.

Paul leans back against the wall of his cell and smiles.
