Thank you so much for sharing some thoughts about the killing of Charlie Kirk. I hadn't heard of him until his murder. All I will say is that I was and remain baffled by what happened and his wife's initial response; it didn't look like real grief to me but I acknowlege that people grieve in different ways. Overall, I enjoyed reading all of your content. If I didn't live so far away I would attend your planned activites.

Funny, I had the same question about her aura as she spoke at her husband's funeral. It seemed staged, sentimental, but not sad. No tears. You're right that folks grieve in their own way, so who knows, but it all felt strange, not to mention the way Donald made a mockery of the solemnity of the moment and the vital role forgiveness plays in the Christian story.
