“Is it too late for Russia?”

—Christine Miller

Regardless of what anyone said, life was still important to Christine Miller. As the only person who pushed back against Jim Jones’ rush to mass suicide, Miller deserves our admiration. Grasping for anything that would save lives, she suggested that the entire community go to Russia. Is it too late? Miller asks a question that stirs in all of our souls. When we wonder if it’s too late, let us remember that there is no such thing. The hour of grace is always here. In every situation, the choice remains the same . . . either we will speak our truth or it we will die. Like Christine Miller, Jesus spoke a truth that never died. Go and speak likewise.

Amen.

Jim Jones: Here’s why it’s too late for Russia. They killed. They started to kill. That’s why it makes it too late for Russia. Otherwise I’d said, “Russia, you bet your life.” But it’s too late.
