MY TURN: Kirk's death a wake-up call
Zoe Ann Thruman
Decades ago, I was that little girl in the Minneapolis Catholic church, praying to a God I loved and trusted. In 2019, I was in the crowd, listening to Charlie Kirk as he encouraged, admonished and related to all of us his love for our country and his deep faith in God. The incomprehensible evil that has been brutally unleashed upon our hearts and souls these past weeks has us grasping for answers to questions we’ve too often had to ask … answers that elude us.
Pastor Jared Lyda, of All of Life church, shared this quote with us on the senseless murders of our own local first responders: “God, with his infinite perspective, and for reasons known only to himself, knows that we finite human beings cannot, indeed must not, ‘make sense’ of evil. For the final truth is that evil does not make sense. ‘Sense' is part of our rationality that, in itself, is part of God’s good creation and God’s image in us.”
