It gave me great joy to call the oldest and youngest of my 3 sons and wish them a Happy Veteran’s Day as they both currently serve our country. They are the 4th generation of military men from our family! #GoArmy#FreedomIsNotFree
Dear @WhiteHouse, my name is Rodney Smith Jr., founder of Raising Men & Women Lawn Care Service in Huntsville, Alabama. Through our 50 Yard Challenge, over 6,000 kids across the country have signed up to mow free lawns for the elderly, disabled, veterans, active-duty military, first responders, and single parents. With America celebrating its 250th birthday this year and me also being born on July 4th, I wanted to humbly ask if a few kids from our program and myself could travel to Washington, D.C. to help mow the White House lawn for this historic celebration.
More than anything, I want these kids to see how a simple act of service something as ordinary as mowing a lawn for someone in need can lead to extraordinary places. What better lesson in community service than showing them that helping others can take them all the way to our nation’s capital? I’d also love to bring my American flag-themed mower in hopes that the President might sign it, so I can later auction it off and donate 100% of the proceeds to a nonprofit supporting veterans. It would be a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to highlight the importance of service, patriotism, and the impact young people can have when they choose to make a difference. 🇺🇸
My favorite Bible verse is Revelation 21:4.
And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes; and there shall be no more death, neither sorrow, nor crying, neither shall there be any more pain: for the former things are passed away.
The thought of God personally wiping away out tears is just so amazing to me.
Life on earth is hard, but one day all Christians will be in a place where there is no pain or suffering or sorrow. Just eternal joy in the presence of our Savior.
I hope to see you all there.
All these Knicks haters talking about what OKC gonna do to us and they’re getting blasted in the game they should’ve closed the series out! @nyknicks#LetsGoKnicks#KnicksVsEveryone
A throwback to one of Louisville’s most iconic basketball traditions 🏀🌹🐴🐎
The Kentucky Derby Festival Basketball Classic… one of the longest-running high school all-star games in the country, running from 1973 to 2017. Before the McDonald’s All-American Game became the national stage, this was the stage. Names like Moses Malone, Isiah Thomas, Dominique Wilkins, Penny Hardaway, and Donovan Mitchell all came through the Ville.
And for UofL fans, this clip hits different… this is where guys like Peyton Siva, T. Jennings and others helped spark the “Kissing the Cardinal” tradition… something that became part of Louisville basketball’s DNA.
With NIL and the way high school recruiting has evolved, an event like this is tough to recreate today. The top talent is spread across different circuits, and the landscape has shifted. The Derby Classic itself ended in 2018, signaling the end of an era.
This was bigger than basketball… it was a city-wide moment in a place that lives and breathes the game
Real ones know what this meant to the Ville ❤️🖤
@ESPNNBA I respect @TheJetOnTNT and Chuck is my favorite all time @NBA player but you guys have got to start wearing your ties with a Double Windsor knot!
