JD Vance just delivered some of the most powerful words ever spoken about Charlie Kirk.
The crowd hung on every word as the Vice President unleashed a firestorm.
“Charlie suffered a terrible fate, my friends. We all know it. We all saw it, but think it is not the worst fate.”
“It is better to face a gunman than to live your life afraid to speak the truth.”
“It is better to be persecuted for your faith than to deny the kingship of Christ.”
“It is better to die a young man in this world than to sell your soul for an easy life with no purpose, no risk, no love, and no truth.”
Goosebumps.
"Women, I have a challenge for you too:
Be virtuous.
Our strength is found in God's design for our role.
We are the guardians. We are the encouragers. We are the preservers.
Guard your heart, everything you do flows from it.
And if you're a mother, please recognize: that is the single most important ministry you have."
- Erika Kirk
Unbelievable poise and control. Not to mention this woman just forgave her husband’s assassin in front of the entire world. For those who can’t wrap their minds around it…that’s what Christ did for you.
We wept bitterly putting this together...
Charlie Kirk did not fear death. Charlie told us what his legacy would be. Charlie's greatest passion was his faith in Jesus Christ.
Just hours before he was assassinated, Charlie stood on stage, openly proclaiming his love for Jesus Christ. Unafraid, unwavering, and full of conviction. He lived every moment guided by that faith, and in the end, he was taken home by his Savior.
Charlie is a true Christian martyr.
His example is not just inspiring, it is a call to all of us. To stand firm in our beliefs, to shine light into darkness, speak truth and to live boldly in our faith. Charlie showed us what it means to live, and die, with purpose.
This is the legacy he leaves...
St. Michael the Archangel,
defend us in battle.
Be our protection against the
wickedness & snares of the Devil.
May God rebuke him, we humbly pray,
& do thou,
O Prince of the heavenly hosts,
by the power of God,
thrust into hell Satan,
& all the evil spirits,
who prowl about the world
seeking the ruin of souls.
Amen
I don't think most non-ag people realize that a huge percentage of full-time farmers/ranchers live almost entirely on borrowed money throughout the year.
They take out an operating line of credit that pays for living expenses.
Interest accrues.
Then they hope to have a crop to sell, valuable enough to repay the loan P&I and their other term loans, with a few bucks left over to reinvest in the operation.
I'm not sure of another occupation where this is common practice.
Someone. Anyone. Please explain this to me like I’m a western North Carolina 2nd grader whose hotel voucher expires in 24 hours and my family has to move into our car or a tent in the dead of the mountain winter.
