Started alone. Traded alone. Built the strategy alone. Backtested alone. Lost alone. Woke up at 4:30am alone. Stared at charts alone. Convinced myself to keep going alone. Nobody sees the loneliness behind the curtains.
10-year-old Aneres Bellefont from Henry County, Indiana, has been honored, she received the Life Saving Award.
On January 8 she found two adults unconscious from overdoses — one in a car, one nearby. She called 911, stayed calm, and guided responders until they arrived with Narcan.
Both lived because of her.
A true hero.
Maturing is realizing when you wake up randomly at 3am you’re supposed to PRAY over your home, your mind, over your children. Then sit and listen to what God tells you to do next
I gave my life to Christ when I was seven years old.
Years later, as an Apache pilot flying 55 combat missions over Baghdad, I knelt beside my helicopter before every mission and prayed the Lord’s Prayer.
Every single time.
You never know if you’re coming home.
I was raised in a family that believed faith, service, and sacrifice were inseparable.
My father served.
My brother, sister, and I all graduated from West Point.
We were taught that freedom isn’t inherited… it is DEFENDED. 🇺🇸
Meet Michigan dad Ray Lucas who ran into a fully burning house and carried his 18-month-old twin daughters out against his chest.
He walked out with third-degree burns.
They walked out alive.
🚨Aaron Tucker had been out of prison for just seven days, with less than two dollars in his pocket and one job interview lined up that morning to turn his life around.
From his bus window, he saw a car flip over and catch fire. He asked the driver to stop and help. The driver refused and warned him he would leave if Tucker got off. Tucker got off anyway.
He sprinted to the upside-down, smoking car, found the 61-year-old driver covered in blood, unbuckled his seatbelt, dragged him to safety as flames grew, and used his own shirt to stop the bleeding while encouraging him to stay awake for his family.
Tucker missed his interview. The bus left without him.
When the story spread, strangers launched a GoFundMe that raised over $50,000 in three days. He also received multiple job offers in construction.
Tucker said: "I feel like a job can come and go, but a life is a one-time thing. The job just wasn't in my mind at that time."
Absolutely incredible!
Science says we need 4 basic elements to survive:
• Food, Water, Air, Light
Now here's what Jesus says:
• I am the Bread of life
• I am the living Water
• I am the Breath of life
• I am the Light of the world
Science is right. We all need Jesus.
One of the greatest evidences that Christianity is true is this:
The Bible doesn't flatter its heroes.
Noah gets drunk.
Abraham lies.
Moses loses his temper and murders someone.
David commits adultery and murder.
Peter denies Christ.
Thomas doubts.
Paul calls himself the chief of sinners.
Ancient myths make their heroes larger than life. Scripture tells the truth about mankind because its purpose isn't to exalt men. It's to exalt Christ.
“If Jesus was God, why did He cry?”
When I was Muslim, I used to smirk at the shortest verse in the Bible. A crying God? Weak.
“Jesus wept.” John 11:35. Two words. It should bring you to your knees.
Then I actually read WHERE He’s standing.
At the tomb of His friend Lazarus. And here’s the part that undoes me: He’s about to raise him. In sixty seconds He’ll shout that dead man back to life. The victory is already loaded.
And He weeps ANYWAY.
He didn’t have to. The happy ending was already in His hand.
But He looked at the grief around Him — the sisters, the mourners, the sheer wreckage that death makes of everything — and He entered it. He let it hit Him. God, with tears running down His face, at the graveside of someone He loved.
The God of Islam was too majestic to weep. I was proud of that. Until I met a God who was strong enough to.
“We do not have a high priest who is unable to sympathize with our weaknesses.” Hebrews 4:15.
Whatever you’re burying right now — He’s not watching from a safe distance.
He’s the God who weeps at gravesides.
And then empties them.
Now you and me get to rejoice forever with our Lord Jesus Christ.
