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.

@beardvet @ElectionWiz @FBIDirectorKash This may be a turning point for CA. Maybe getting their cars vandalized by their own people will be the red pill we need. But in the meantime…do not park near any Teslas!

@CollinRugg Carbon monoxide poisoning? Sad when any lives are lost, but when the family dog dies too it makes it seem worse somehow…

@KatTimpf Oh boy! First off, congratulations on a beautiful baby boy. He is going to get you through this. Second, this also happened to me….18 years ago. My baby boy is now a senior in HS. Keep that chin up & take it one day at a time.
