In the Wake of Charlie Kirks unlawful killing, Vigils and

With what has transpired this week with the homicide of TPUSA’s Charlie Kirk and its reflection on the state of our nation, the heaviness of 9/11 remembrances, and marking an anniversary of a household loss, it has been a problem to dredge up the “feel goods.” But goodness, and causes for gratitude and surprise, are all around us, even when they appear distant. 

In the midst of overlaying Kirk’s death and the poignant and highly effective handle from his widow Erika, I’ve found the outpouring of love, solidarity, and transformation emanating from Charlie Kirk’s life and, now, his death. It is both gorgeous and inspiring, displaying that his life and legacy weren’t in useless, and an murderer’s bullet has not silenced it. In fact, it’s spreading like wildfire. 

For this week’s Feel-Good Friday, I spotlight the vigils and remembrances being supplied across America and across the globe to honor the life of Charlie Kirk, and the transformative affect he has made, and continues to make, on a era of younger males and girls.

The outpouring of prayer continues for Erika Kirk, her youngsters, and Charlie Kirk’s household, and vigils are still being deliberate all over the nation and the world. Erika’s highly effective clarion call on Friday evening is being fulfilled. 

Dig Deeper: ‘We Will Never Surrender’: Erika Kirk Delivers Powerful Words to America After Her Husband’s eliminateing

Erika Kirk promised:

To everybody listening tonight across America, the motion my husband constructed is not going to die. It will not. I refuse to let that occur. It is not going to die.

All of us will refuse to let that occur. No one will ever overlook my husband’s title and I’ll make sure of it. It will turn into stronger, bolder, louder, and larger than ever. My husband’s mission is not going to end, not even for a second. 

Truly, actually, I inform you, unless a kernel of wheat falls to the ground and dies, it stays only a seed; but if it dies, it bears a lot fruit. — John 12:24
