Women Who Survived Theater Shooting Grieve for Hero Boyfriends – ABC News

“Of the 12 people killed in the Aurora theater shooting, four of them were men who made the ultimate sacrifice to protect their girlfriends. Now, each of these women are struggling to come to terms with both their grief and their gratitude.”

I appreciate ABC News running this story. But I wish they had resisted the urge to drag in “experts” to try to “explain” what is in reality the best that’s in us. In my opinion, all they succeeded in doing with these experts was to devalue these heroes and their sacrifice.

I think the reason why thirty percent of the people who died in Denver were men who gave their lives to protect their women is both simple and obvious: It is how God made them.

If I had to find one story that capsulizes why…

Dear Lord, I believe Jesus is the son of God, and that He died for my sins and then rose from the dead. I invite Jesus to become the Lord of my life, to rule and reign in my heart forever. Thank you Jesus for coming into my life and hearing my prayer. I ask you to forgive me for the wrong things I have done, I forgive those who have hurt me. I ask this in the name of my Lord and saviour Jesus Christ, Amen.

Father, today I recommit my entire being to you and your ways.

Sometimes in the smallest details of our day God reveals the greatest depths of His love — in ways only His heart and ours understand.

I am creating the Culture Warrior Award to honor two stalwart culture warriors. These men stand for life, and they are in the fight for the long haul. They are two of Public Catholic’s finest Culture Warriors. We need more courageous blogs like theirs.

Christ Jesus is “the sun of righteousness”; He is our righteousness as the Son of God. As a man He was pure, and righteousness was displayed in all His actions. During His life He was perfect and pure as a man.  Jesus Christ is the author of grace; His death and resurrection gave righteousness unto us–His children. His glory, pure and spotless, brightly outshines the sun. We as the redeemed of Christ Jesus bathe in His beams of divine love, mercy, and grace. His rays of grace alone can transform lost souls into righteousness. Jesus’ grace in our lives is like the rising sun. He is our dayspring from on high, spreading His light as we bask in Him, soaking in His glory.

Malachi 4:2 The Sun of Righteousness will rise with healing in its wings

The Son of God has healing in His wings like the sun, beaming rays…
