Hi, friends!
I'm so excited (and a little bit overwhelmed)! This is a new adventure for me, and I need to get the word out. Would you be willing to help me? There are several things you could do. Some take only a minute but would really be so appreciated! Please see opportunities to help below and click on any you might find interesting.
My heart broke on September 10th. I have followed Charlie Kirk for years because we share the same goals--to present the truth to young people in a loving, respectful way and invite them into a living relationship with Jesus Christ. Charlie Kirk used political debate to reach high school and college students with the truth: I use allegorical fantasy stories to show people the strong and loving personality of Jesus as I know Him.
Why did Charlie Kirk’s death affect me so much?
The brief explanation is the division in our country isn’t new. When I started college, the Viet Nam war had torn our country apart. Students were protesting on many college campuses. I was one of them. Then Kent State happened. (If you don’t know what that refers to, look it up. It was terrible.)
So as a freshman, I “deconstructed” my religious upbringing and considered myself an atheist … but deep down I knew my life was empty. I couldn’t imagine living my adult life as bored and depressed as I was. I needed a reason to live, but I saw none. I lost hope.
At the same time in history, the Jesus Revolution was happening nearby. People explained to me the need to meet Jesus in ways I had never heard at church as a child. One night all alone, I called out in desperation to heaven, “God, if You’re real, You’d better show me … but You’ll have to show me by Yourself because church is lame.” By the end of two weeks, there was no doubt in my mind! He did meet me where I was. For the next year, I got to know the personality and love of Jesus through wonderful Christian fantasy writers. Then I was able to accept Him as my Lord (and I found churches that truly represented His truth and love).
Because of my history, I can relate to the disillusionment I hear from young people today. I know they are searching for truth and their personal reason to live. God gave Charlie Kirk a purpose—to engage young people in meaningful dialogue with respect and love. He gave me a purpose—I write music and stories to touch people’s hearts for Him. It has been my joy to do that for more than 50 years. God has a purpose for everyone … If you’ll listen to Him, He’ll gladly tell you why He made you. He has a good reason, just ask Him.
Ask, and it will be given to you;
seek, and you will find;
knock, and it will be opend to you.
For eveyone who asks receives,
and the one who seeks finds,
and to the one who knocks it will be opened.
~ Matthew 7: 7-8 ~

Please understand, this is not a political website. I have strong beliefs, but political debating is not my calling. My job is to help people understand Jesus better and build a relationship with Him through the stories I write.

There's good news and bad news every day in this project! There have been so many obstacles and technology glitches along the way. That's the struggle. The good news is we must be on the right track to have so much spiritual opposition. I need your prayer covering! This request doesn't cost a penny but is probably the most valuable way to help!
