Marie, my youngest daughter, checked in for surgery at 5:25AM this morning. The procedure to replace her heart valve was over 3 hours long. The surgeon called us as we waited in the waiting room to inform us that the surgery went well. No complications. She is in recovery and we can see her in about 90 minutes!!! She will stay the night and be released on Wednesday. All done without the need for open heart surgery!! Praise the Lord!!🙏😇
This is the speech by Michael Knowles, who preceded Glenn Beck at the tribute. Note: the last few minutes of this recording are missing.
This was the highlight of the event. Honestly, I'm not a Glenn Beck fan, per se — he's just not my cup of tea, though I did enjoy his show years ago on Fox and supported The Blaze in its first several years. But in this speech, Glenn talked about the things Charlie stood for: Christianity, attending church, respecting and loving the people you disagree with, and marriage and having LOTS of babies. All of those are near and dear to my heart too, so I really liked this speech.
(Michael Knowles spoke before Glenn — I'll put up his speech tomorrow.)
