9.11.25 My Tribute to Charlie Kirk ✝️♥️🙏🕊️


                             From Chicago's edge where the skyline gleams, A young man rose with determined dreams.
A voice for truth, for faith✝️, for right,
He carried God's word into the fight.

With Bible 📖 in hand,a patriot's heart ♥️
He sought to defend what set us apart
A nation 🇺🇲founded on freedom's call,
He spoke with compassion & love for all

Erika stood as his steadfast wife,👩‍❤️‍👨
Together they built a faithful life
2 children 👧👧 now will bear his name
& carry the torch of his noble flame 🔥 

Tho darkness struck from a rooftop high,
His spirit ascends where angels 😇 fly
No bullet can silence the Word he spread
No assassin can tarnish the path he led

He taught that faith was more than creed
It lives in our actions, our love, our deeds
Conservative values with kindness sewn,
He made compassion his cornerstone

Thru Turning Point he gave a stage
To youth to carry the cause w/ age
A mentor, leader, brother, friend,
Whose mission of truth will never end

His laughter 😄warmed, his kindness stayed
For neighbors in need, his hand was laid
And tho the storm has claimed his voice,
In heaven 🕊️ now he will rejoice

America grieves, her flag bows low,
The fields of Utah weep in woe
But hope remains where his words were sown
In many hearts who call him their own

Remember the man who prayed with might🙏
Who stood for freedom, for God, for light
Tho taken too soon, his witness remains,
In the gospel he loved, in lives he changed

So Erika, dear, & children too,
The nation now stands in grief with you
For Charlie lives where no shadows fall,
In Christ's embrace, who conquers All🙏🕊️✝️♥️🇺🇲

Who Was Iryna Zarutska? More details, condolences ✝️ ♥️ 🙏



Background & Journey
Iryna was born in Kyiv, Ukraine, on May 22, 2002. She fled with her family in 2022, escaping the war caused by Russia's full-scale invasion. They resettled in Charlotte, North Carolina, seeking safety and a fresh start .

Dreams & Character
Friends and neighbors remember Iryna as a bright, creative, and kind-hearted individual with dreams of becoming a veterinary assistant. She was also an avid artist—passionate about sculpting, designing her own clothing, and caring for animals in her community .

The Tragic Event
On August 22, 2025, while riding the Lynx Blue Line light rail in Charlotte, she was fatally stabbed in what appears to have been a random and unprovoked attack .

The Suspect
The alleged attacker, Decarlos Brown Jr., age 34, was arrested at the scene and charged with first-degree murder. He reportedly had a long criminal history (including convictions for robbery with a weapon, larceny, misuse of the 911 system) and mental health issues .

Community Response & Broader Impact
The release of surveillance footage sparked public outrage and debate over transit safety, mental health support, and the criminal justice system. City officials responded by reviewing security protocols, fare enforcement, and considering bolstering mental health support and transit safety measures .

Family's Pain & Farewell
Iryna was laid to rest in Charlotte with her mother and siblings by her side. Tragically, her father could not attend, as wartime restrictions kept him in Ukraine—adding another layer of grief to the family's tragedy .

"The Lord is close to the brokenhearted and saves those who are crushed in spirit." – Psalm 34:18

Heavenly Father,

We come before You with heavy hearts for the people of Sudan. Lord, You see the devastation, the grief, and the cries rising from a land that has been shaken by tragedy. An entire village has been lost, and thousands of Your children have been taken suddenly in this landslide. We cannot comprehend the pain, but we know that You are a God of comfort, mercy, and unfailing love.

We lift up every grieving family, every survivor, and every soul searching for hope amidst the rubble. Wrap them in Your presence, Lord. Give them strength where there is weakness, peace where there is chaos, and light where darkness has fallen. May those who mourn feel the nearness of Your Spirit and the embrace of Your everlasting arms.

Father, we pray for the wounded and displaced. Provide food for the hungry, shelter for the homeless, and healing for the injured. Stir the hearts of nations, governments, and aid organizations to respond quickly and generously. Let compassion overflow so that the people of Sudan will not be forgotten but will be lifted up in love and solidarity.

We ask for wisdom and endurance for the rescue workers, medical teams, and leaders coordinating relief. Protect them as they serve and strengthen their hands as they bring aid to those in desperate need.

Lord, even in this unimaginable loss, we trust in Your sovereignty. Bring beauty from ashes and hope from despair. May Sudan experience Your miraculous comfort and renewal. Let Your name be glorified as people turn to You in this time of sorrow.

In the name of Jesus Christ, our refuge and redeemer, we pray.

Amen.

As for our brothers and sisters who are suffering in Africa, as well as in countries like N. Korea and China and India and elsewhere, first, let us make others aware.

"
First, Share the news when you hear about it. Talk about it with your family and friends and from your pulpits. Do not let these Christians suffer while we remain uninformed or indifferent. Let their pain become our pain. And let us learn more about the suffering church worldwide. We will be inspired and challenged as we do.

Second, pray.
Third, get involved in helping in tangible ways as you feel prompted by the Lord. 
Fourth, deepen your own resolve to follow Jesus, whether by life or by death,.."
