I've prayed and cried today. But I know people are good. I have faith we can all be better. I'm praying for everyone, even those who disagree with me. I want to help amplify the voices that can guide us to a better place. I pray tomorrow will be better for us all. We deserve it.

I never met Charlie Kirk, but he was a son, a husband, and a father. He was killed while engaging in a political discussion. We should all be sickened. I am praying for his family and for our country. We all must do better.
