I've never pondered the connection between my faith and organ donation. I tend to avoid thinking of my own death, so the question of organ donation comes up only every four years when renewing my driver's license. When I answer yes, a red heart goes on my driver's license. I've chosen to be an organ donor thinking someone might have the chance to live. The thought “what would Jesus do” has never crossed my mind on the subject.

Lace M. Williams
Dr. Lace M. Williams has spent much of her life studying and seeking theological answers to the questions of what it means to be alive, to be human, to be made in the image of the Creator and to acquire beliefs and the language to express those beliefs. With B.A., M.A., and Ph.D. degrees in Scripture, Doctrine and Theology, Williams is interested in examining the biblical languages and writers through the lens of speech act theory. For fun, she spends time with her amazing son, her hero. For delight, she looks to the Triune God, loved ones and nature.
