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.
@SharylAttkisson I have never understood people backing into parking spaces at the grocery store. You need access to your trunk to load your groceries.
@The17thLegacy@hhzqfckdgh_page Someday, maybe, soon, almost there, it’s on my desk . . . On and on these statements are made. Nothing happens time and again. And even if they do file charges, they drop them or a Biden/Obama judge throws them out.
@EricLDaugh Pfft. Did we regime change? Did we ensure a free and open international waterway status for the Strait of Hormuz? No. Those were the war aims, clearly stated repeatedly by Trump. All your posts are intentional misdirection, and therefore garbage.
@adamtaggart Just hope that “dissipation” isn’t by way of additional, crippling taxes which the government and younger generations seem so darn eager to impose.
