Some online stories capture your heart and make you think. I paraphrase one such post.

The picture is of a little girl of around six years old tramping around a store, having a good ole time stomping in boots that weren’t hers.

She stood in the cashier line and proclaimed that the boots were her Daddy’s, and she gets to wear them on his birthday because he died in “Agan-is-stan”.

She grinned and lifted her feet to show off.  Overhearing the little girl another man in the line gave her a cupcake from his package and told her to eat a cupcake on her Daddy’s birthday because he was a hero.  She smiled and bit into it, vanilla icing on her nose.  The man in the line cried, the mother cried, and the cashier cried.

This story puts a whole new meaning to walking in someone else’s shoes.

Little girls love their Daddy forever.  They remind us of the reason we carry loved ones in our hearts.

In today’s political climate, marred with vitriol and accusations, we lose sight of what is essential.  Human love, compassion, and empathy need to be up front. Humanity is suffering a serious mental and ethical crisis.

I have always taken the stance that evil and Satan are ever present and prey on the weak, confused, depressed, and broken.  Whispering all manner of false agendas, pushing unimaginable evil action, even unto killing.

The recent assassination of Charlie Kirk, clearly the result of demonic possession, was a miscalculation.  Opposite of the desired effect, shutting down a voice proclaiming common sense, moral values, and the important place of faith in everyone’s life, the reaction is a ground swell of persons reached by his message.  Charlie’s courage has been the fuel of what is shaping up to be a renaissance of Christian fervor and overall spirituality.

A modern-day martyr, a mantle of immortality has been bestowed on a young man who hoped to change the world.

He has thrown down the gauntlet, and hundreds of thousands have chosen to pick it up.

Just as Dr. Martin Luther King Jr, John F. Kennedy, Robert F. Kennedy, and Abraham Lincoln died violently because of their message, so has Charlie Kirk.  Assassinated for their stands, they are now forever etched into the American psyche.

The haters, the devil’s disciples, will try to demand that Charlie was something different; they will not be successful.

God bless his little girl; she has big boots to wear.
