    I must admit that I had never heard of Charlie Kirk until the tragic
    events of this week. I deplore and condemn his shooting, but cannot help
    but feel that he was rather hoist by his own petard: apparently he was a staunch defender of gun ownership. So, incidentally, were the parents of
    the alleged shooter.

    Silly lot.

    However I was rather surprised to learn that Mr Kirk was a
    Sabbath-keeper! I'm not sure whether that was a personal thing or
    whether he belonged to a group that observed the Sabbath - he started
    out as a Presbyterian but then moved to what is described as "an
    evangelical church". Whatever, apparently he was quite strict about his Sabbath keeping and would turn off his mobile phone and his computer
    from sunset Friday to sunset Saturday.

    He has also written a book about the blessings of keeping Sabbath, which
    will now be published posthumously.

    God bless,
    Kendall K. Down
