@RealCandaceO Oh Candace. The public? Really? I realize it's hard to back off at this point, but I really hope you sit in prayer to think about everything the last few months, and where God needs you to go from here. Charlie loved you, but it's time to seek Jesus, girl.
…what I would give.
Even in the depths of pain and heartache of trails, there is always something to be thankful for.
Please love your family so deeply today (and always). If you don’t have family; then your chosen family. Your friends. Your loved ones.
Life is so precious, life is so short.
Make tomorrow special.
Just because.
Dress your family up for church as if it’s Christmas. Invite others to join. Bring your Bibles. Go get a reset and renewal by God’s word and get battle ready for the week ahead.
And at the end of the night, ask your spouse how you can better serve them.
…for Charlie.
Just found out there was a counter event tonight at Ole Miss with former Sen. Heidi Heitkamp and Rep. Ro Khanna.
Their event drew just over 100 people.
TPUSA's tour stop drew over 15,000 (5k couldn't get in, and we even emailed the 13,000 adult registrants not to come).
Brothers and sisters, we do not want you to be uninformed about those who sleep in death,
so that you do not grieve like the rest of mankind, who have no hope.
For we believe that Jesus died and rose again, and so we believe that God will bring with Jesus those who have fallen asleep in him.
1 Thessalonians 4:13-14

@tylerbowyer Praying for all TPUSA daily! Both for progress and for protection. You guys are doing amazing things. Charlie certainly left it all in good hands.
The steadfast love of the Lord never ceases; his mercies never come to an end; they are new every morning; great is your faithfulness.
“The Lord is my portion,” says my soul, “therefore I will hope in him.”
The Lord is good to those who wait for him, to the soul who seeks him. It is good that one should wait quietly for the salvation of the Lord.
Lamentations 3:22-26
The Sinaloa Cartel is threatening to start targeting American tourists in places like Cabo. If you’re planning on traveling to Mexico, maybe consider an American vacation.
I am sorry I have to tweet this… but I do.
Accusing innocent people—much worse, accusing the people who knew Charlie best, loved him more than just abut anyone, and witnessed his death—isn’t just wrong, it's baseless mudslinging on the same level as calling someone a Nazi or fascist who is not. It signals to crazy people many evil ideas, thoughts and feelings. It is calling the good, bad, and the innocent, criminal.
The worst part of this wicked behavior is that it is putting a target on the backs of the people working to carry out Charlie’s work from before and after his murder. This harassment may emotionally or physically sideline them, stopping the work.
Every single person who loves Charlie and knew him best will not settle for anything less than the truth throughout the process of grief, investigation, trial and continuing on without the person we loved and who we know the world loved.
I personally feel Charlie with us every day and it has given our people strength to persevere in the darkest hours of our lives.
I hope people will seek truth, apologize for getting things wrong along the way, support righteous causes and strive to not engage with destructive forces that I believe the devil wants people to promote to undo the good work that emanates from Turning Point, Charlie and everything he has left behind.
