July 6, 1936, Route 66, New Mexico. This is Martha Evans, 32. She had been walking for three days. Her husband died of tuberculosis in Oklahoma in May. The farm was foreclosed. She took the six kids and a Radio Flyer wagon and started west for California. The twins in the wagon were 11 months old. The boys walking were 6, 5, 4, and 3. Her dress was torn on barbed wire. Her leg was cut and infected. She wrapped it with a feed sack. She had $1.60 in her pocket. A photographer from the Resettlement Administration saw them and pulled over. He offered her a ride. She said no. She said if she took a ride now, the kids would expect one every time they were tired. She gave him her name and kept walking. The photo ran in newspapers across the country. Donations came to a PO box in Barstow. She got $200 and a bus ticket. She made it to Bakersfield and picked grapes. All six kids lived. Three went to college. Martha died in 1978. The wagon is in the Smithsonian.

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.

Goodness. What a prophetic quote from 44 years ago.

[BiblicaLee Yours @LeeFoo9]

Pray. Wherever. You. Are.

But, if you're driving, don't close your eyes to pray!😇

In hard times, don’t make your ability to understand God’s ways the condition for trusting him.

Best of luck to the girls rugby team as they play for the Indiana state championship today at 2pm at Kuntz Stadium in Indianapolis.
The Lady Tigers play Carmel, who beat us 15-10 in the season opener in March.
The team left town shortly after 8am with a police escort.

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

One of the most significant passages in all of Scripture is Exodus 34:6-7, because here God describes Himself to us.

Man is always trying to define God according to his own feelings, fears, preferences, wounds, or culture. But in Exodus 34, God does not leave us to imagination. He proclaims His own name and reveals His own character.

“The Lord, the Lord God, compassionate and gracious, slow to anger, and abounding in lovingkindness and truth” (Exodus 34:6).

This is the God of the Bible. He is not cold, cruel, distant, or reluctant to show mercy. He is compassionate and gracious. He is slow to anger. He abounds in covenant love and truth. But He is also not soft on sin. He “will by no means leave the guilty unpunished” (Exodus 34:7).

That is why this passage is so weighty. God reveals both mercy and justice. He forgives iniquity, transgression, and sin, yet He does not pretend guilt is harmless. He is full of grace, but never at the expense of holiness.

The cross is where Exodus 34 shines most clearly. There God’s mercy and justice meet. Sin is punished, yet sinners are forgiven. Wrath is satisfied, yet grace overflows. God remains just, and He justifies the one who has faith in Jesus.

“So that He would be just and the justifier of the one who has faith in Jesus” (Romans 3:26).

Exodus 34:6-7 does not show us a divided God. It shows us the God who is perfectly merciful, perfectly holy, perfectly just, and perfectly faithful.

[Jeremiah Knight @iamrjknight]

The holiest men still have many blemishes and defects when weighed in the balance of the sanctuary. The nearer a man walks with God, the more clearly he sees the sin that still clings to him.

True holiness does not make a man boast in himself. It makes him grieve what remains in him and cling harder to Christ.

“For I know that nothing good dwells in me, that is, in my flesh” (Romans 7:18).

The Christian life is a continual warfare against sin, the world, and the devil. The believer is not a man who has no battle. He is a man who has been brought into the battle by grace. The flesh still resists. The world still tempts. The enemy still accuses. But the Spirit of God teaches the believer to fight.

“For the flesh sets its desire against the Spirit, and the Spirit against the flesh” (Galatians 5:17).

Sometimes we will see even godly men not overcoming, but overcome. They may stumble, weep, confess, and feel the weight of their weakness. But they do not make peace with sin. They rise again by mercy and return to Christ.

“The righteous falls seven times and rises again” (Proverbs 24:16).

So do not measure holiness by sinless perfection in this life. Measure it by war against sin, grief over sin, hatred of sin, confession of sin, and continual dependence upon Christ.

The holiest saints are still needy saints. Their hope is not that they have no blemish, but that they have a perfect Saviour.

[Gunther Eagleman™ @GuntherEagleman]

🇺🇸 Just in case you forgot why you have a three-day weekend…

This is it.

Not the barbecues. Not the beach trips. Not the sales.

This is the reason.

The folded flag. The final salute. The ultimate sacrifice so the rest of us could be free.

This Memorial Day, we honor the fallen.

We remember their names. And we never take this freedom for granted.
