To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.

I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.

I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.

One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”

It knocked me back.

I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”

I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.

That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.

I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.

I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.

People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.

I'll tell you why.

Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.

I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.

In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.

The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.

You just have to stop running.

@PatriotJen3 @Juliedonuts He does it because he cares enough to take on the beast. Maybe it won't make a huge difference, but think of the people that get him call out the crooks on national TV that would not have, had he not given the interview.

@WhiteHouse Where's Walz?

@ElectionWiz This is one topic that left and right, atheists and Christians, everyone needs to unite against. These data centers are demonic, they are horrible for the environment and humanity

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

I absolutely love this!

[Election Wizard @ElectionWiz]

The data center backlash is going local, and officials are losing their jobs over it.

This isn’t fringe. It’s a nationwide revolt:

— Festus, MO: residents filed to recall the mayor + 3 council members after they greenlit a hyperscale data center

— Port Washington, WI: recall push over a $15B AI facility

— Lyon Township, MI: recall sought against 7 board members

— Cascade Locks, OR: voters recalled officials

— Sand Springs, OK: residents tried to recall their entire city council over a Google data center. That one failed on a signature issues, but organizers vow to try again.

At least $64 billion in projects have been blocked or delayed by local opposition , according to reports from outfits like Latitude Media. 

The pattern everywhere is the same: deals pushed through in the dark of night, voters finding out too late, and a bipartisan “you’re not going to steamroll us” response.

@libsoftiktok Hey, where all the white girls at????

[South Dakota Canvassing Group @SDCanvass]

If you are in Minnehaha County and can give of your time on June 2nd, please contact the auditor's office - they need workers and back ups!

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

Ya, tough row to hoe, there friend. I'm a fellow South Dakotan here, and I appreciate your try. Do you follow #SDCanvass? They are the ones trying to make a difference in our state. Or are you just trying to help yourself? Wrong site for that in my humble opinion. I like what you do

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

@Nickydear33 @GenFlynn @DNIGabbard I would say, the "kinda horse shit Mr Flynn knows ALL about", and what you, Nicky dear, only think you know about.

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

@DustyJohnson Get real Dusty! Are attack ads on a good, honest, man your only campaign strategy? Your a very weak person Dusty Johnson!

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

@timburchett Well it's definitely not super! 🤣🤣🤣

@elonmusk Can you believe how fun that WON'T be. Lol

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

Ya, South Dakotan, born and bred here. Your the epitome of a disgusting politian, to me. Have you ever wondered why Trump is so popular? Because he is not! He calls calls things as he he sees them, just like everyday Americans. Didn't you vote to impeach Trump the first time?

[ANDREW JOHNSON @ANDEWJOHNty]

@SLeonightl @realannapaulina I appreciate your question. Should we then consider all ancient books the Word of God?
You see, i quoted John for one very important reason. Man can/could never add or delete the true Word. For God is his Word, undefilable by man.
