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.
I just moved into a new home a year ago.
I got a ballot in the mail from someone who doesn’t live at my address.
The system is designed for corrupt people to take advantage of the extra ballots - and it’s illegal to ask for an ID.
This isn’t a flaw, it is designed exactly this way by the Democrats who control the state.
Parents are told, “Introduce ONE new food at a time — like eggs — and wait 4–5 days to watch for ANY ALLERGIC REACTION.”
That’s official AAP & CDC guidance. Smart, cautious, and responsible.
Then at the 6-month checkup, the same experts say:
“Here’s 9 vaccines at once — DTaP, Hib, PCV, Polio, Rotavirus, HepB, and RSV. All together. No problem.”
How does this make any sense?
One new food at a time with a waiting period… but a full cocktail of vaccines injected and given orally all on the same day?
Babies are tiny. Their immune systems are still developing.
Parents aren’t crazy for noticing this double standard and asking questions. We want to protect our children with real informed consent — not blind trust in the schedule.
🚨 OMG. SEC. SCOTT BESSENT JUST WENT THERE 🔥
SEN WYDEN (D): We don't want ramblings about the most corrupt regime in history, we want facts
BESSENT: "And we'd like to hear what Adam Wyden and Jeffrey EPSTEIN talked about. Your son's largest investment position was Rick's Cabaret. So, did your son and Jeffrey Epstein talk about pole dancing as he begged him for money using your limited credibility?"
ASSASSIN.
Democrats have completely lost their minds. This is bizarre!
Rep Jacobs: “You couldn’t admit that the shoes the president bought you were too big!”
Rubio: “I don’t know what shoes she’s talking about. What is she talking about? We’re taking about shoes? Are you guys kidding me? Is this the foreign affairs committee or is this a circus?”
