#RTTBROS
For most of us, the calendar turns from September 10 to September 11 with a heavy heart . It’s a shift from the ordinary to a day forever marked by tragedy. But for some of us, that transition carries a piercing, personal weight.
Last year, on September 10, Charlie Kirk slipped from this world. It felt like a cruel convergence, the sudden shock of losing a friend overlapping with a day of national grief. It’s easy to let those dates merge into one singular anniversary of despair.
But Charlie once said, "You only have a certain amount of time on this Earth. You have to make it count, and you have to be grounded in something bigger than yourself."
He wasn't talking about a philosophy. He was talking about a Person.
"Jesus spake unto her, I am the resurrection, and the life: he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: And whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die." — John 11:25-26
Because of the resurrection, the sudden ending of Charlie’s life wasn't a full stop; it was a comma in an eternal sentence. He didn't pass into darkness, but into life everlasting.
Tonight, if you're navigating the overlap of personal grief and national remembrance, bring it to the Cross. We don't ignore the pain, but we refuse to let the date on the calendar have the final word.
Grieve if you must, but anchor yourself in the One who holds eternity.
The comma is where the hope begins.
