Bernie Kosar personally helped me & I want to pay that forward. When my daughter had brain surgery not only did he donate signed items for the gala for her foundation. He personally texted with me to give me inspiration. He couldn’t attend the gala so he sent several members of his team to be there. This man has a heart of gold. Please pray for him and share this - give if you can. Let’s make sure Bernie knows HE MATTERS @BernieKosarQB

Over 60 Christians were massacred by Islamist militants in eastern Congo while at a funeral wake. Few headlines. Few protests. Lord, have mercy on the dead, comfort the grieving, and strengthen Your Church. Please share this—silence must be broken.
On the most difficult day, I woke to the news that my only son was killed in Afghanistan. He was due home in just 2 weeks. I already had his birthday present, planned to go to a baseball game like old times, cook his favorite foods, joke and tease and make up for lost time, but in the blink of an eye, we lost him. The denial and shock were crippling.
My first rational thought was, “Who will remember him when I’m gone”? He was just 21 with no children, and the notion that he might be forgotten brought an anxiety that I can’t articulate. Our family was grief-stricken and we learned in one moment what Memorial Day is truly about.
Jake was a Christian, a comedian, an athlete, a huge dog lover, an artist and the best son and friend.
I genuinely hope you all enjoy your long weekend, and if you don’t have a hero to remember, please remember mine. This is all we can do for him now.
If prompted to do so, please share him with the world. It would be a gift.

Got married in July'82 & went to a game the day after wedding. He (if I remember correctly) he had a hit to win the game! If he didn't win it why do I remember his name????
@grant_puskar_ Geez. Are we permitted to have a sense of humor???
If it had been the other way around it would still be funny to me! Laugh it off & move on!
