Good morning.
The reason you feel Charlie’s death so deeply is because grief doesn’t measure itself by proximity. It measures itself by meaning. You didn’t have to know him personally to feel the sting of his absence, because when a voice like his goes silent, something in the atmosphere shifts.
The reason it feels heavier than so many other tragedies is because your spirit recognizes that this is not just about a man, it is about a battle. Scripture says eternity is written on our hearts, and when someone who carried truth with boldness is suddenly gone, eternity aches within us. It’s like our souls know instinctively that the darkness celebrated, and that strikes us at the core.
The reason you can’t shake it is because psychologically, we don’t only attach ourselves to people…we attach ourselves to symbols. Charlie became a symbol of conviction in a time of compromise, courage in a time of fear. And when a symbol is struck down, it rattles something primal and eternal inside us.
That’s why even those who never met him feel it. There is a strange thread pulling at us, and it is not imagined. It is real. We are bound together by shared purpose, by shared longing for truth, by the Spirit of God Himself weaving us into a fabric that cannot be torn apart. This loss pulled at that fabric, and every one of us felt the tug.
So if you’ve wondered why this hits so hard, it’s because your soul knows. This is bigger than news. This is bigger than politics. This is about eternity, about truth, and about the weight of a man whose life carried both.
Love y’all.
The bravery of the jurors should not go unnoticed. They knew the risks they faced by not giving the mob the verdict they wanted, but they did it anyway. Wow.
@thekangminlee the fact that they are trying to cover up the horrific things the “president” did (allegedly) to his own daughter makes me sick to my stomach.
On Friday, my brother in law’s best friend took his own life. He was recently discharged for mental health from the United States Marine Corps. If you are able, please give to support the family, and at the very least, please RT to spread the word.
if you’re unsure of the path that the US is on, look at Australia. they’re in a total police state. they have built camps for the un-Vd. they are rolling out apps to upload a picture to prove where you are. that IS what we will become if you don’t stand up to the tyranny.
(3/3) elections have consequences & we’re living in those right now because “81 millions people” couldn’t put facts over their feelings.
fact: those soldiers would be alive today if Trump were still in office.
(1/3) if you made the mistake of voting for Biden, that’s one thing. you were either uninformed or let your hatred for Trump get in the way for the love of this country.
if you are supporting Biden after what has happened over the past two weeks, you’re just wrong.
(2/3) what has happened in Afghanistan was avoidable & is inexcusable. the execution of this exit plan was reckless & ultimately took to lives of 13 young American Heroes. 13 families will never get to see their loved one because of this administrations grave mistakes.
