today is 9/11/2025. I feel an invigoration which I can only describe as such. A passion bursting through the seams of my tender heart.
This country - both land I live on and area I live - has always been dear to my heart. My eagerness to know it and understand it, to stand for it's truth and virtue, it's integrity and grit, has been deep within me.
I am being brought back to the mantle I felt in roles of leadership I have filled in the agriculture space; the desire that burned inside for protecting America's Farmland, Farmers and Ranchers, and the future of those generations that live with the consequences of our choices today.
Yesterday a man, husband, father and advocate for truth and reason was assassinated. Charlie Kirk was murdered in cold blood by those who feared his wisdom and ability to speak truth. Those who live by fear and create fear in others as a means of control. Who wanted to make a statement in the middle of the day in public.
Today is 9/11 - a day to remember the attack on American soil and almost 3,000 American lives. A day that we have promised to remember, but only seem to on the day thereof. Our actions outside of this day prove otherwise, imprinted by Charlie's murder yesterday.
I am in part 3 of the book Atlas Shrugged. The story parallels the history of humanity and shines the light on the errors and weakness of dong anything for the "common good". How the looters achieve their means through social justice - what is justice? I would join John Galt in a heartbeat.
I also went to a meeting with a solar farm company who is working to move into our county. Their words which mean nothing say everything. No one benefits except for the common good, which is nobody. Looting to the core.
I cannot adequately express what is surging through me other than a revival of fight and stance for truth, freedom, and never giving up because I have hope. Hope in what our founding fathers accomplished, hope because Gods work moves forward even when men seek to destroy, hope in humanity and bringing our voices together.
Gods work IS freedom and to be claimed by Him is the greatest reward. He is my hope and the many examples of God loving men and women who gave public virtue the way Charlie did. It is not the end of his work, but very well could just be the beginning.
