I pray that this tragedy is a wake up call for many. Have had friends and family sharing their disgust with the hate for Charlie Kirk. It's shocking for sure. We win people over by being better. And we need Jesus to do that. I know I can't love my enemies on my own. Love does win. The kind Jesus taught us. RIP Charlie Kirk

2 Timothy 2:24–26 (ESV): 24 And the Lord’s servant must not be quarrelsome but kind to everyone, able to teach, patiently enduring evil, 25 correcting his opponents with gentleness. God may perhaps grant them repentance leading to a knowledge of the truth, 26 and they may come to their senses and escape from the snare of the devil, after being captured by him to do his will. How should we respond? Like this. It doesn't mean we shouldn't be bold or speak the truth but allow anger to overtake you.
It almost seems like the people that hate Trump are trying to create the situation where a strong man will be given the powers they claim Trump wants. Its kinda wild. People are so bought into one side or the other that they apparently can't see this.
"We are pleased to say we are bombarded with orders. Please expect your book to ship within 5 \22610 business days." That's quite the window.
Rush Limbaugh's Treatment by CBS 60 Minutes in 1991 This video from 1991 should be a reminder that the world and issues you see today are not new. They weren't new then and they aren't new now. I grew up listening to Limbaugh and I have PLENTY of issues with his positions and the positions of the "conservative" movement. But, the hypocrisy of the critics at the time is a story we are seeing repeated today. Rush mocked those in power (Democrats mostly). This was often translated to he was mocking democrat voters. Sound familiar? The irony of this report is pretty amazing to me but not unfamiliar. The criticism of Rush was that he's insulting and crass and yet I heard the following insults. He is called * Dangerous * Fat * College drop out * Twice divorced * Bigot * Nazi 30+ years later... Rush was only dangerous to the politics he opposed. He was far from extreme. Just as political figures on the left are far from extreme today. We just aren't supposed to think for ourselves and question the status quo. That's not safe. We are supposed to stay in line. Limbaugh like Trump says more about his time that himself. The response to them is more instructive than anything they say.
