Once again I find myself apologizing for not keeping up with my communications with you all. My life has been pretty devastated during the past two weeks.
Yesterday is was two weeks since our young family friend was almost killed. John was driving his dad's antique tractor to our local threshing bee. John's dad, Paul Foertsch, was one of our dearest friends and we were devastated when he died of a heart attack about 2 years ago. John was wanting to honor his dad by driving his dad's tractor through the parade of tractors at the threshing bee.
He wasn't far from the event when a pickup and camper plowed into him not even slowing down for the stop sign. The tractor is in pieces and so is John. He's still in the hospital with a broken leg and hand. He's going to make it but we weren't sure at first as John had a brain bleed. John's still not talking but we are encouraged that he most likely won't be a vegetable. He raised his fingers to indicate that he remembered his dog. YAY!!
So we've all been burdened for John when we got the UNBELIVABLE news that Charlie Kirk had been murdered. I haven't cried so hard in my entire life to think that Charlie was gone leaving a widow and 2 small children!!!
I'm thinking of what Joseph said to his brothers when he revealed himself to them. "What you meant for evil, GOD MEANT FOR GOOD!"
Today thousands of people are meeting to honor Charlie's life. Here's the link so you can listen with me. Right now praise music is honoring our wonderful Savior--the Lord Jesus Christ--whom Charlie loved and served with vigor!
President Trump and many other Patriots will be speaking this afternoon. Erica Kirk, Charlie's widow, will also be speaking.
In case you're wondering if Charlie's work was in vain at Turning Point USA. NOT HARDLY. Since Charlie's murder, the number of requests to start a Turning Point chapter at a high school or college near you has multiplied into THOUSANDS. Charlie is the seed that was planted and now people are stepping up to carry on his work. Just look at the thousands of people at his funeral.
I encourage everyone to listen to the praise music going on now. GOD IS BEING GLORIFIED LIFE NEVER BEFORE. Charlie's videos are being watched like never before. People are starting to think about God like never before.
WE LOVE YOU, CHARLIE!!!!!!!!!!!
Hugs to all of you who are grieving Charlie's murder. May our loving Savior comfort you.
Dawn
