The Redneck's Admission to Heaven

A redneck named Bubba dies in a tragic four-wheeler accident and finds himself standing at the Pearly Gates.

Saint Peter greets him but looks a bit concerned."Bubba," Saint Peter says, "we’d love to let you in, but Heaven is getting pretty crowded.

To get in today, you have to pass a small test. You must answer three questions."

Bubba shuffles his boots, tips his camo hat, and says, "Alright, fire away. I went to Sunday school some.

"Saint Peter asks the first question:

"What days of the week begin with the letter 'T'?

"Bubba scratches his head, thinks for a second, and says,
"Well, that's easy! Today and Tomorrow!"

Saint Peter blinks, startled. "Well... that’s not exactly what I meant, but technically you're right.

Okay, second question:

How many seconds are there in a year?

"Bubba grins. "Twelve!"

Saint Peter frowns.

"Twelve? Bubba, how on earth do you get twelve seconds in a year?

"Bubba says, "January 2nd, February 2nd, March 2nd..."

Saint Peter rubs his temples, realizing he’s been outsmarted by redneck logic.

"Alright, Bubba. Last question.

Can you tell me God’s first name?"

Bubba beams with pride.

"Oh, that’s the easiest one yet!

His name is Andy."

Saint Peter looks completely baffled.

"Andy?! Where in the Bible did you get the name Andy?

"Bubba bursts out into song:

"Andy walks with me, Andy talks with me, Andy tells me I am His own...

"Saint Peter sighs, opens the gate, and says,

"Come on in, Bubba. Bring your truck."

STATCAST SAYS THIS THROW FROM ELLY WAS 105.3 MPH...

[Matt Van Swol @mattvanswol]

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

The storms of life aren’t meant to sink us — they’re meant to sanctify us.

When Peter started walking towards Jesus on the water, his eyes were locked on the Savior.

When the storm started raging, the wind started blowing, and the wave started rising, Peter feared and he lost focus.

This is when he started to sink — and this is when Jesus immediately stretched His hand out and saved Peter.

Regardless of whether Peter was waist deep, neck deep, or knee deep in the water when Jesus saved him — it doesn’t matter.

Jesus will always use the storm to sanctify us, not to sink us.

So, that storm you’re going through today: Whatever it is, Jesus is using it to sanctify you, to grow you up, to show you what you can become with His help.
JUST KEEP YOUR EYES ON HIM...and...Remember...God's gotcha folks...have a gooden

In 2014, the Cincinnati Bengals cut Devon Still.

Then they immediately signed him to the practice squad, for one reason only. So his health insurance wouldn't stop.

His four year old daughter had just been given a 50/50 chance to live.

June 2, 2014. Doctors walk into a waiting room and tell Devon Still that Leah, his four year old, has stage four neuroblastoma. A pediatric cancer. Fifty fifty odds.

Still was a defensive tackle fighting for a roster spot. He missed most of training camp to be at the hospital, and when cuts came, he didn't make the 53 man roster.

For most players that's the end. No team, no salary, and critically, no insurance.

The Bengals signed him to the practice squad anyway. Not because they needed him. Because it kept his family covered, and gave him the freedom to fly to Philadelphia to be with his daughter whenever he needed.

Then head coach Marvin Lewis and the organization did something else.

They started selling Devon Still's number 75 jersey, and announced they would donate ONE HUNDRED PERCENT of the proceeds to pediatric cancer research at Cincinnati Children's Hospital.

A backup defensive tackle's jersey.

It became the best selling jersey in the NFL. Fans of other teams bought it. Rival organizations ordered them in bulk. Opposing players wore them.

The Bengals eventually handed Cincinnati Children's a check for $1.3 million.

Leah, meanwhile, was fighting. Chemotherapy. Radiation. Surgery to remove a tumor. Stem cell transplants. Her father documented all of it publicly, because he decided that if his family had to go through it, other families shouldn't have to feel alone in it.

Then on March 25, 2015, Devon Still posted this:

"June 2, 2014 and March 25, 2015 are days I will remember for the rest of my life."

296 days after the diagnosis, Leah Still was in remission.

There was one more scare, a serious complication from the transplant that summer. She beat that too. By December 2015, her scans showed no evidence of disease at all.

She got a Wheaties box. She and her dad won the Jimmy V Perseverance Award at the ESPYs, and she recorded a video message thanking everyone who helped her beat up cancer, because she was too sick to attend in person.

The Bengals eventually released Devon Still for real in September 2015.

And they made sure his medical insurance would stay active for five more years anyway, whether or not another team ever signed him.

Leah is a teenager now. Healthy. She and her dad have written children's books for kids going through what she went through.

Her advice to those kids: "You're not fighting this alone."

An NFL team spent a roster spot on a dad instead of a player.
