Fifty Shades of Green

[Chad Prather @WatchChad]

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.

RIP Charlie Kirk. It doesn’t matter what your opinion is of Charlie or his politics if you don’t view this as one of the darkest days in American history than you are part of the problem.

Jesus defeated death so you can live.

It’s all about Jesus.

@jballard1 @ed_wachter We saw some damage to collars at CR due to growth regulator applications made on bent fall/spring prior to zoysia coming fully out of dormancy. That and possibly damage from walk mowers.

Never give up on your dreams. Keep coming back. Keep working hard.

Sports television at its finest. Barely a word said by CBS over nearly 7 minutes.

@DroughtCenter @NRCS_TN @NWSNashville @NWSMemphis @NWSMorristown @TNAgriculture @tnwildlife @USDAClimateHubs @NOAANCEI Is that saying there’s been no improvement in drought conditions for NW Tennessee? I don’t see how as we’ve received between 3”-4” of rainfall since 12/1.
