Many remarkable things happened in the last 10 years involving many good people, with the election of President Trump at the top. But I think 2019 ended on a high note due to one man who deserves special recognition.
That would be Jack Wilson, the Christian gun owner who killed the madman in a Texas church with a single shot to the head on Dec. 29. His heroic action summarized what I think we all have been defending for a long time — the right to keep and bear arms, and protect our Christian heritage.
Wilson destroyed an evil force and the false notion that we don’t have the God-given right to protect ourselves whether in our homes, public places or even our places of worship.
The insane cries from the bleeding hearts and media that guns shouldn’t be in houses of worship have been silenced by a courageous and focused Christian who saved the lives of fellow worshippers. I believe God placed him there for that moment and that his instant response to evil enforced our beliefs and exposed the mindless editorials and smears from the left.
I wonder how many of the Jews attacked in a rabbi’s home in New York a day earlier by a scumbag with a machete wish they would have had a gun to stop that vile situation?
God bless Jack Wilson, and may God bless all of us to do likewise as we strive to protect America from the satanic forces trying to destroy our way of life as we enter 2020.
