Dear person who SWATTED my family a year ago today,

Thank you.

If it wasn’t for you, I would never have felt God‘s hand on my shoulder.

I would never have known how incredible my local police department is.

I would never have lost all my “friends” and gained people with backbone and heart.

I would never have seen the true spirit of real community.

God protected my family that day.

And now, my family and friends and community stand beside him.

Beside Christ.

And he is the best gift I will ever receive.

We are the line against evil and we are not going anywhere.

Shun us. Shame us. Hurt us.

All you do is make MORE BELIEVERS out of the people watching your violence.

I pray for you.

God bless you and may he call you back to his warmth and grace.

(Also Happy Birthday my love @mattvanswol 🤦🏼‍♀️ we win as long as we stay truthful and follow the light)

Matt & I went to Greenville yesterday to get gifts and just wander.

We saw happy, healthy people everywhere.

We saw “Christ is King” sweatshirts on a gorgeous couple.

Families, dogs, everywhere.

We must’ve talked to a dozen strangers.

This is the America I want to preserve.

This world has two types of people:

Builders & Critics.

BE A BUILDER.

Ignore the critics.

Never forget.

Be prepared.

Water, Food, Power, Protection, Meds.

Have a community and a strategy.

Pass ALL the fraud bills and prosecute perpetrators. (Start by DEFUNDING the Taliban… Yes, we still do that.)

Pass funding the Department of War and Transportation.

My guess is the books balance back.

America First.
