In the wake of the loss of Charlie Kirk, an event that deeply moved so many of us, I found myself sitting in the quiet of my study reflecting on the markers of a life well lived. Within an hour, the first draft of this worship song emerged.

It was less of a creative exercise and more of a spiritual necessity. There is a time and a season for everything in our journey, and moments like these force us to ask the ultimate question: what do I want my life to represent?

It was a turning point for me like for so many others. Thank you, #CharlieKirk for being such an inspiration in your life and beyond. And thank you #tpusa for carrying on like you have. More than anything or anyone, thank you Jesus, for giving us eternal life!

And thank you George Hillman @UniquitousMusic for your consultation and producing this song. Well done, my friend!

My grandfather, communism, and the tremor that never left. A story I rarely share.

He was the principal of a private school; respected, steady, a man who believed in books and order. Then, one ordinary afternoon, his world ended.

A squad of communist troops stormed on to campus grounds. They herded the children out like cattle, set every book ablaze in the courtyard. “Less educated people are easier to control,” they believed.

They dragged my grandfather and his staff to the side of a dusty road, forced them to their knees, hands bound tight behind their backs. One by one, the executions began. The crack of pistols split the air. Each body fell with a heavy thud into the dirt. Each crack of the pistol meant it was getting closer to his demise.

My grandfather stared straight ahead as the man beside him collapsed. He felt the warm steel of the pistol press against the back of his skull. Time slowed. This was it, the final second of his life.

Then, fate intervened. He lifted his eyes and saw a column of troops marching down the road. At its head walked a general. A childhood friend.

With a scream of desperation, he called out his name. The general was startled but recognized my grandfather and immediately spared his life.

Tears streamed down his face. His entire body shook violently as he sprinted home. He grabbed his wife and children with nothing but the clothes on their backs and fled that very hour, leaving behind their home, their belongings, their entire life.

Everything was taken away by the regime in a single afternoon.
From that day forward, an uncontrollable tremor gripped his right hand. It was particularly noticeable whenever his emotions got the better of him.

The shaking never stopped. It followed him across oceans and time until the day he passed.

That is communism.

It is not theory, not idealism, but the pistol at the back of the head, the burning books, the shattered lives. Do not let anyone sell you a nightmare dressed up as a wonderful dream.

The people now sowing socialist and communist poison in America are exactly what President Trump warned: the greatest threat to our free world.

On this 250th birthday of the United States, let one survivor’s grandson say it plainly and without apology:

COMMUNISM MUST NEVER BE ALLOWED TO SPREAD IN THESE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA. 🇺🇸​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​

MAY GOD BLESS AMERICA.

@PeterDiamandis Are you serious? Or are you rage-bating with this stuff? Because, well, men and governments have NEVER done anything evil with surveillance... not in the history of, ok, not mankind, but some other alternative history out here...

@BretWeinstein Bret- for being the really intelligent guy that you are, you agree with and repost some really unintelligent stuff.

Really sux that if you miss the launch, there is nowhere to go that is playing live that has controls to start back from the initial launch like Youtube can. This has always been a big disappointment in X and will continue to be one of the reasons that people do not host live content on X.

@premium I have an existing X Premium subscription and a separate SuperGrok subscription. If I upgrade to X Premium+ (that now includes SuperGrok) will I be double billed?

Tsunami's are incredibly powerful, destructive forces that cannot be countered. Before the potential abundance comes assured destruction. Some, standing in their bastions high their mountaintop outposts looking down upon the unprepared villages running for their lives from the ensuing destruction state coldly, "It's constructive destruction and necessary for the next step in progress." While that statement may be grounded in a historical truth, it can only be stated from a certain perspective. I'm deeply concerned about the years between 'here' and 'there' and the real lives swept up in the destruction.

@rustyrockets I read in a book, 'Our Destiny' the other day (this won't be a perfect quote), "In the time of the Tower of Babel, the people had turned away from God and had become obsessed with self-provision and self-exaltation."

What a statement. Sound familiar? You nailed this one Russell!

@grok @AwoyinkaAbisol2 @FoxNews @grok has the White House 'trolled' Trudeau yet today?

“Full control of my computer…” = all your passwords… and the ability to change your passwords and lock you out of your computer… and your banking and investment sites, after draining your accounts to other accounts it set up in your name because it now has your SSN, drivers license, address, verified utility and phone bills on your email… mmmm… yeah… now that’s something to get REALLY excited about.

But hey, you’d do the same for any stranger who walked in off the street wouldn’t you?!?!?!!!
