Yep. Every time I think I’m done being bothered by respected friends saying something on the internet I’m proven wrong.

Thursday was a long time friend saying something to the effect of:

“if you are bothered about Charlie Kirk and are speaking up now, but didn’t speak up for ‘Palestinian children’ I’m embarrassed to know you… and most of you call yourselves Christians.”

I haven’t yet responded, my sister messaged her privately, maybe the kinder thing to do. I will be responding directly to her post. I have had to pray and ponder for days to think out how I want to say what needs said in a way she may actually consider.

A young lady in my church congregation organized the ill-fated Charlie Kirk event. Many in my congregation were present. Of course I am going to use my voice when those I love are directly impacted. It’s complete whataboutism to suggest I need to decry absolutely every evil act before I can mourn the ones closest to me.

These people have no idea what they have just done. I’m just praying we can turn the tide without more force than words and law.

Edits for spelling.
