In Memory of Charlie Kirk
October 14 is now observed as the National Day of Remembrance for Charlie Kirk.
Charlie was not a political agitator but a modern-day defender of Christian and constitutional truths. He stood courageously on campuses and in public forums where his message was often unwelcome, reminding America of freedoms too often ignored: religion, speech, press, assembly, and petition.
He believed, as our Founding Fathers did, that God gives us our rights, not man. They fled oppression and built a nation on truths greater than themselves. Even our currency affirms this: In God We Trust.
Charlie lived Isaiah 6:8 — “Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying, ‘Whom shall I send? And who will go for us?’ And I said, ‘Here am I. Send me!’” He answered that call with courage, entering the marketplace of ideas and inviting us to do the same.
Jesus’ words guide us now: “Love your enemies and pray for those who persecute you, that you may be children of your Father in heaven… He causes his sun to rise on the evil and the good” (Matthew 5:44-45). Paul exhorts, “Be kind and compassionate to one another, forgiving each other, just as in Christ God forgave you” (Ephesians 4:32).
At Charlie’s memorial in Arizona, Erika Kirk offered a must-see display of honor to God, forgiving her husband’s assassin on live television. Trusting the Lord’s justice — “Vengeance is Mine; I will repay” (Romans 12:19; cf. Deuteronomy 32:35) — she gave a powerful testimony to God’s love and perfect, future judgment, showing that true forgiveness rests in confidence that He alone makes all things right. Her grace echoed Martin Luther King Jr.: “Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.”
May we honor Charlie through open dialogue, truth spoken in love, and forgiveness. Love listens. Love forgives. In God’s light there is hope and a way forward.

Book numbering removed
When I started writing the "Reflection Series," I thought numbering the books would help. But I've realized that these books are more like family and friends. Some stories are of different genres too. They have their own stories, and sometimes they share parts of their lives with each other, but you don't need to know one to understand the other. Some books might tell you more about a character you met somewhere else, but each book stands on its own.
I hope this makes choosing your next read more effortless and fun. Dive into any book that catches your eye and enjoy the adventure!
Happy reading,
Robert Cavazos
