I reread this every year.

I cry like a baby every year.

Todd Beamer died a father, husband, and hero.

Todd: Hello… Operator… listen to me. I can’t speak very loud. This is an emergency. I’m a passenger on a United flight to San Francisco. Our plane has been hijacked.

Lisa: I understand. Can they see you?

Todd: No. There are three that we know of. They have knives — razor knives, like box cutters. Someone announced from the cockpit there was a bomb. It sounded fake.

Lisa: Your name?Todd: Todd Beamer. United Flight 93.Todd: They killed one passenger in first class. They forced most of us back. Fourteen of us here. Five flight attendants. The guy with the bomb ordered us to sit on the floor.

Lisa: Are you okay?

Todd: We’re going down… wait. No. We’re leveling off. We changed directions. We’re flying east again.

Todd: A guy named Jeremy called his wife. She told him two planes hit the World Trade Center. Lisa, is that true?

Lisa: I have to tell you the truth. It’s very bad. Both towers are gone. A third plane hit the Pentagon. Our country is under attack. I’m afraid your plane may be part of their plan.

Todd: Oh God. Lisa, will you do something for me? Call my wife and my kids. Promise me you’ll call.

Lisa: I promise.

Todd: Our home number is… You have the same name as my wife. Lisa. We’ve been married ten years. She’s pregnant with our third child. Tell her I love her. I’ll always love her. We have two boys — David, he’s 3, and Andrew, he’s 1. Tell them their daddy loves them and he is so proud of them. The baby is due January 12th. I saw an ultrasound. We still don’t know if it’s a girl or a boy.

Lisa: I’ll tell them. I promise, Todd.(Lisa patches in the FBI.)

Agent: Todd, your plane is on a course for Washington. Best guess is the White House or the Capitol.

Todd: I understand. I’ll be back.

Todd: Everyone knows this isn’t a normal hijacking. We have decided we will not be pawns in their plot.

Lisa: What are you going to do?

Todd: Four of us are going to rush the one with the bomb. Then the cockpit. A stewardess is getting boiling water. We’ll take them out.

Todd: Would you pray with me?They pray the Lord’s Prayer. Then: Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil, for thou art with me.

Todd: God help me. Jesus help me.Are you guys ready? Let’s Roll.

This is the performance people keep coming back to.

“He’s alive.”

Dolly Parton sang it at the 1990 GMA Dove Awards, telling the story of the resurrection with the same clarity she brought to everything else. No spectacle. Just the song, and her voice filling the room.

It still stops people in their tracks.

[Vince Langman @LangmanVince]

Wow! This Dolly Parton tribute was incredible!

Two amazing voices!

I live in San Juan, Puerto Rico, and I am still a Cincinnati @Reds fan. For the life of me I don’t know why.

For anyone who is worried about the communist threat facing America, here is some important information:

No one was eating the dogs or the cats.

No country emptied it's asylums or prisons into America.

Schools were not setting up litter boxes for kids.

America did not win the war in Iran over 30 times. It lost.

Other countries didn't pay the tariffs, you did.

DOGE didn't cut $2 trillion from the budget. It cost more than the tiny amount it did cut.

There is no communist threat. Not one person who has won a primary for Congress this year is a communist.

A political party that can't run on its record because it has been such a massive failure resorts to baseless fearmongering. That's all.

This experiment may be fragile at the moment but it’s ideals are worth fighting for and shall remain!

I almost quit trading.

Not once. Multiple times.

If I could go back and talk to that version of me, here are the 4 things I'd say. (Thread🧵)

@Franklin_Graham @realDonaldTrump You, sir, are a sellout. Not sure what you are grifting, but it is not worth it.

[Scott VanDyke @ScottVanDyke]

Stop trying to find your purpose or “mission in life.” It is to be the best version of yourself and to live it daily.

[Scott VanDyke @ScottVanDyke]

@Strandjunker If that is one’s belief, best to skip the red letters in the Bible.

[Andrea Junker @Strandjunker]

If you hate Pope Leo because he is too “liberal”, I have some very bad news for you about Jesus.
