1. Kirk insists that she is 'not angry with God' following her husband's assassination

Kirk discussed how she has adjusted to life without her husband, as nearly two months have passed since he was fatally shot at Utah Valley University on Sept. 10.

"It's so easy to be in a position of feeling regret when you lose someone you love," she said. "I tried to read a book by C.S. Lewis because he lost the love of his life, he was only married to her for four years."

Noting how the book is called A Grief Observed, Kirk described the book as "a very hard book to read" because "in the opening pages, he talked about how angry he was with God." Kirk insisted, "I've never felt that."

"I'm not angry with God, never have been," an emotional Kirk declared. "Never have I questioned, 'Why, Lord are you putting me through this, why are you testing me?'"

Kirk expressed confidence that "God is so good and so sovereign and I know He uses everything, everything, even what the enemy meant for evil."
