Twenty five years ago today, America awoke to a beautiful September morning and, in a matter of hours, was forever changed.
We remember the 2,977 innocent lives taken on September 11, 2001. We remember the firefighters, police officers, first responders, and ordinary Americans who ran toward danger to save people they had never met. We remember the passengers of Flight 93 who understood what was happening and willingly laid down their lives so that others might live.
“Greater love hath no man than this, that a man lay down his life for his friends.” John 15:13
The men who attacked our nation that morning did not believe they were committing meaningless acts of violence. They acted in the name of Islam, believing that their faith justified what they were doing and that death in their cause would be rewarded by God. We should not rewrite that history simply because acknowledging religious conviction makes us uncomfortable.
But the answer to one religious claim is not a world emptied of religion. It is truth.
In the days after September 11, Americans prayed. Churches filled. Families gathered. Strangers bowed their heads together. A nation confronted with the reality of evil and the fragility of life was reminded that we are not self sufficient, that tomorrow is never promised, and that our ultimate hope cannot be found in government, prosperity, or even national strength.
Twenty five years later, an entire generation has grown up with no memory of that day. It is now our responsibility to remember for them.
Tell them what happened. Tell them what motivated it. Tell them about the courage and sacrifice that answered it. Tell them why Americans hung flags from their homes and filled churches to pray. Teach them that liberty is precious, that evil is real, that truth matters, and that a nation forgets the lessons of its history at its own peril.
Today we pray for the families who still carry the wounds of September 11. We honor those who answered the call to defend our nation in the years that followed. And we ask God, in His mercy, to turn our hearts again toward Him.
May we never forget.
May God bless and keep the United States of America.
Charlie Kirk understood that a life of conviction requires courage. He was unashamed of his faith, unapologetic about what he believed, and willing to stand publicly for those convictions regardless of the cost.
His life was taken from him, but his name, his influence, and the convictions for which he stood will not be erased.
Most importantly, Charlie knew that death does not have the final word.

Two hundred and fifty years ago today, fifty-six extraordinary men gathered in Philadelphia and forever altered the course of human history.
On July 4, 1776, they declared to the world that our rights do not come from governments or kings, but from our Creator. They pledged "their Lives, their Fortunes and their sacred Honor" to a cause they knew might cost them everything. By the providence of Almighty God, they gave birth to a nation unlike any the world had ever known.
Today, we have the extraordinary privilege of celebrating America's 250th birthday.
John Adams understood the significance of what had begun. Writing to his wife Abigail the day before the Declaration was adopted, he predicted that future generations would celebrate America's independence with "Pomp and Parade... Bonfires and Illuminations from one End of this Continent to the other." Two hundred and fifty years later, his vision lives on in ways even he could scarcely have imagined. Today, families will gather around backyard grills, children will wave American flags, neighbors will celebrate together, and tonight the skies above Parker County and communities across our nation will be illuminated in celebration of the greatest republic in the history of the world.
It is a good day to be grateful.
Grateful for the courage of the Founders.
Grateful for the wisdom of our Constitution.
Grateful for every soldier who has defended our liberty, every family who has strengthened our communities, every church that has faithfully proclaimed the truth, and every citizen who has understood that freedom carries both extraordinary blessings and sacred responsibilities.
Throughout our nation's history, Americans have demonstrated something rare in the story of mankind. When the Revolutionary War ended, the world expected General George Washington to seize power as victorious commanders had done throughout history. Instead, he voluntarily surrendered his commission and returned to private life. King George III is said to have remarked that if Washington truly intended to do so, "he will be the greatest man in the world." In that singular act, Washington affirmed that America would be governed not by the ambition of one man, but by enduring principles, constitutional order, and the consent of a free people.
It is also fitting that one of our nation's most enduring symbols of freedom, the Liberty Bell, bears the inscription from Leviticus 25:10: "Proclaim liberty throughout all the land unto all the inhabitants thereof." Those words remind us that the liberty we celebrate today was understood by our Founders not as a gift from government, but as a blessing from God to be protected, cherished, and faithfully passed to future generations.
Few generations have ever had the opportunity to celebrate the 250th birthday of their nation. By God's grace, ours does.
May we never take for granted the blessings we have inherited. May we prove worthy of the sacrifices that secured them. And may we faithfully preserve this great Republic so that when Americans celebrate our nation's 300th birthday, they will look back with gratitude on the generation that refused to squander the inheritance entrusted to its care.
May God continue to bless Parker County, the great State of Texas, and the United States of America.
Happy 250th Birthday, America!
On March 2, 1836, at Washington-on-the-Brazos, 59 brave men signed the Texas Declaration of Independence and declared this land a free and independent republic. They did not act out of convenience. They acted out of conviction.
The founders of the Republic of Texas grounded their cause in enduring, biblical truths. In the Texas Declaration of Independence, they appealed to the “Supreme Judge of the world for the rectitude of our intentions,” expressing firm reliance upon the protection of Divine Providence. They acknowledged Almighty God as the source of moral authority and ultimate judgment. They believed that rights come from God, not government, and that civil rulers answer to Him. When Santa Anna’s centralist government stripped away constitutional protections, abolished local governance, and threatened families and communities, these men did not simply rebel. They stood on a moral foundation older than any republic: tyranny is an offense against God, and free people have a duty to resist it.
Just weeks later, at San Jacinto on April 21, 1836, Sam Houston’s ragged army defeated Santa Anna’s forces in eighteen minutes. The cry of “Remember the Alamo. Remember Goliad.” rang out. It was a battle cry, yes, but also a covenant. A promise to the dead that their sacrifice had not been in vain. That blood bought something worth keeping.
Texas has always been different. Fiercely independent. Unapologetically bold. Rooted in faith, family, and the belief that government works best when it is closest to the people and limited in its power. That spirit did not end when we joined the Union in 1845. It lives on in every generation that chooses responsibility over apathy and conviction over comfort.
But liberty does not perpetuate itself.
The same God who moved those Texians to act has not changed. The principles they bled for have not expired. Every generation must choose whether to steward that inheritance or squander it. Self-governance is not a gift to be received passively. It is a calling. It demands that citizens show up, weigh the issues, hold leaders accountable, and exercise the rights purchased at great cost.
Texas Independence Day is not just about looking back. It is about looking forward.
Tomorrow is an opportunity to do something simple but powerful. Cast a ballot. Participate. Engage. Make your voice heard. The men who signed that declaration risked everything for the right of Texans to govern themselves. The least we can do is steward that inheritance faithfully.
Freedom is a gift, but it is also a responsibility.
On this Texas Independence Day, let us remember who we are, where we came from, and what it means to live as a free people. And let us prove worthy of that legacy by showing up and doing our duty.

At our August 7th regular meeting, the Parker County Republican Party Executive Committee presented and unanimously passed a resolution in support of the @TexasGOP Resolution Denouncing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR).
"The Parker County Republican Party stands with the Republican Party of Texas in denouncing the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), whose actions and alliances undermine both our Constitution and the Christian foundations of this Republic. Public officials have a duty to reject such influence and to govern in a way that honors both the rule of law and the moral order that sustains it. In Parker County, we are committed to holding our leaders to that standard for the good of our people and the preservation of our freedoms." - Brady Gray
For every week the Democrats are gone, Republicans should ADD ANOTHER GOP SEAT to the map!
Thank you @Burrows4tx and the @txgopcaucus for decisive action against the AWOL democrats. No one is above their oath, and the cowardly act of abandoning your voters by fleeing the state is unacceptable! Democrats must return in the next 24 hours, or further punishment, including fines, reprimands, censure, and expulsion, must be considered. #txlege
Every single Democrat who doesn’t show up today should have their offices vacated!
Texans don’t run from a fight—they face it head on.
These Texas Democrats that fled the state are not serving Texans. They are serving themselves.
They forfeited their seats and are facing potential felony charges.
Texans should be concerned about reports of national democrat leaders pressuring Texas democrat House members to abandon their responsibilities in a coordinated effort to disrupt the work of the Texas House.
Let's be clear: walking off the job is not an act of courage; it is an act of cowardice. Texans expect their elected officials to show up for them, not to disappear when they are unhappy with the process. Abdicating responsibility is not how representative government is supposed to operate.
The people of Texas, regardless of their political affiliation, deserve a legislature that functions effectively, not one that abandons its responsibilities. Those contemplating such a reckless move should understand that Texans are watching, and they will remember who upheld their oath and who opted for obstruction over obligation.
Join us for our next meeting to hear from Texas Eagle Forum President Cindi Castilla as she shares insights on the Texas legislative session.
