As an American, incredibly proud of Hellebuyck and the United States hockey team. Their names forever etched into American hockey lore as gold medalists.
As a fan of the Columbus Blue Jackets, seeing our superstar, Zach Werenski, on the ice, muscling the great Nathan MacKinnon
off the puck, and making the pass to Jack Hughes for the game winning Golden Goal, makes me incredibly proud.
And as a fan of both USA hockey and Columbus, seeing the way that the team honored the late Johnny Gaudreau (whose number 13 hangs in the rafters of Nationwide Arena in
Myles Garrett has 0 sacks…. But absolutely had the biggest effect on the game because the Steelers decided that stopping him from getting the sack record was more important than playing offense.
We are saddened to inform friends that our dear brother, Voddie Baucham, Jr., has left the land of the dying and entered the land of the living. Earlier today, after suffering an emergency medical incident, he entered into his rest and the immediate presence of the Savior whom he loved, trusted, and served since he was converted as a college student. Please pray for Bridget, their children, and grandchildren.
Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his saints. – Psalm 116:15

Whenever you’re discouraged, remember that millions of people around the world today heard these words at Charlie’s memorial:
“He’s the King of glory, He’s the Prince of Peace, He’s the Savior of the world, He’s the living God, He’s the God of all mercy and grace, the total embodiment of love, the total embodiment of truth. And He’s here today to call His children back to Him.” Rob McCoy
“Charlie, right now, is in heaven. Not because he was a great husband & father…. Not because he sacrificed himself for his Savior. Charlie Kirk is in heaven, because his Savior sacrificed himself for Charlie Kirk” Frank Turek
“Christ has overcome death!” Andrew Kolvet
“What we’ve known for 2,000 years is that any attempt at trying to extinguish the light makes it shine more brightly.” Tucker Carlson
“We were all created by the hands of the God of the universe, who loved us created us to live with Him in eternity. But then sin entered the world and separated us from our Creator. So God took on the form of a man and came down and lived among us, and He suffered like men, and He died like a man. But on the third day He rose unlike any mortal man… And when He returns, there will be a new Heaven and a new earth, and we are going to have a great reunion there again with Charlie” Sec. Marco Rubio
“Put Christ at the center of your life.” Pete Hegseth
“I have talked more about Jesus in the past two weeks [since Charlie died] than I have in my entire public life.” JD Vance
“On the cross, our Savior said: ‘Forgive them Father, for they know not what they do.’ That young man [who murdered Charlie]: I forgive him.” Erika Kirk
Praise God!
In the spirit of telling favorite Charlie Kirk stories, I'll tell one I think was profoundly impactful on me and that is instructive for the coming days and months.
At one point when I was studying Maoism the most intensely, I was so shocked by what I was learning that I texted Charlie the following:
"Studying Maoism now. I can say for certain that the evil power of Communism is the best evidence there is for the existence of Satan."
Charlie, for those who knew him, usually texted back but in extreme brevity. Here's what he replied:
"If Satan, then God."
That was Charlie's way. That was Charlie's stance on evil. If there is absolute evil, then there is absolute good, and that's what we should focus on.
