The Sunday after

 I haven't posted this weekend.  The smaller part of this involves an incident between me and a trash dumpster that left my back "questionable" all weekend, so no walks.

The bigger part is the absolute grief I have about my nation and the world over the "joyous reactions" people had to Charlie Kirk's murder.  If you don't believe in Heaven and Hell, angels and demons, listening to these "people" should have convinced you.

One local pastor hit it on the head: "Remember, a person is not your enemy.  People are not your enemy.  The Bible tells you who your enemy is."

Charlie Kirk was murdered for speaking this country and our God.  And now, those who got fired for posting their "joy" on social media are crying, "Where's my free speech?"  Guess what? You shot it.

My son came over for our typical "beer and sports" night Friday, and the first thing he said was, "Before we get started, can we pray about Charlie Kirk?"  He went on to to tell me he had already had to delete 3 FB friends who celebrated his murder.  He was broken hearted, and I was never so proud of him.

All of these haters have one thing in common: they never spent five minutes actually HEARING what Charlie said, or figuring out what he stood for.  They just take as gospel whatever the left media tells them- and when the left media spends all it's time calling us fascists, Hitlers, racist, that's what you get.

Every one who uses the word Fascist on another human being should be required to spend a weekend back in time in 1944 Auschwitz.  Or spend a day with Dietrich Bonhoffer in 1937.  See what the face of fascism really was-

-and then go run their political opinions past the mirror.

Arguably the most "third world" cities in the United States are Cleveland, Detroit, and Baltimore.  Now, name the three cities whose NFL teams did not have a Charlie Kirk Tribute this weekend.  I am far from surprised.  But see, that IS freedom of speech.  They didn't have to, and they didn't.

People who may well end up in Hell dancing and singing, "Rest in Hell"?  Yep, them too.  But guess what? It comes with consequences.  If you project badly on your workplace, you might well be fired.  If you are an educator or military or medical, you SHOULD be fired.  And if you lose the respect of decent, caring human beings?  You chose it.  Go dance with your demons.

There is a part of me that is struggling with forgiveness.  I forgive people, not monsters.  I understand being deceived, but not reveling in it.  Unlike my son, I've pretty much shed any "friends" that would have celebrated already over Trump and Israel.  But for him, for all the stories I've seen the last 3 days, my heart is broken. Psa 30:4  Sing praises to the LORD, O you his saints, and give thanks to his holy name. 

Psa 30:5  For his anger is but for a moment, and his favor is for a lifetime. Weeping may tarry for the night, but joy comes with the morning.
