On Charlie Kirk's Murder

Before all the online demons on all sides start, and positions get taken: Remember this moment.

The sadness for another human being.

For a family now in crisis.

A lament for a country that is spiraling into greater wickedness instead of hope.

And anger and sadness for a person who chose to be evil.

Hold on to that soft heart because that's your humanity, and that is what has to come first if we are to lead ourselves towards a less violent society.

We have to reject all forms of dehumanization and embrace the fact that every individual is created in the image of God.

Seeing an imagebearer shot causes the pits in our stomachs because we are designed for love.
