Same people who say we came from chimps will scoff and dismiss Noah’s Ark as a fallacy.

When it comes down to it…Every single one of us are a descendent of the 8 survivors of Noah’s Ark.

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.

This is the kiddo I saw yesterday throwing in her last collegiate game...big smiles, big dreams, lanky arms and legs, and Starbucks to get her through the ride to see me for almost 10yrs. @PickensKarlyn you stayed true to that 10yr old kid and her joy for the game. ❤️ you kid

A section of the ossuary at Douaumont, France 🇫🇷, containing the unidentified remains of over 130,000 soldiers killed at the battle of Verdun, photographed in 1964. The remains include soldiers from both sides of the conflict.

The Battle of Verdun lasted 303 days, from February to December 1916, making it the longest battle of the First World War. Fought between French and German forces, it became a war of attrition in which both sides suffered staggering losses. Historians estimate there were roughly 700,000 casualties, killed, wounded, or missing, with more than 300,000 deaths.

The Douaumont Ossuary was built after the war to house the remains of soldiers who could not be identified. Behind its walls rest the bones of more than 130,000 French and German soldiers recovered from the battlefield. Through small windows, visitors can see piles of skulls and bones gathered from shell craters, trenches, and shattered fortifications where identification was impossible.

Verdun was subjected to some of heaviest artillery bombardment in history up to that point. More than 60 million shells were fired during the campaign, permanently altering the landscape. Even today, parts of the battlefield remain within France’s “Zone Rouge” (Red Zone), areas so heavily contaminated by unexploded ordnance and toxic residues that development and farming remain restricted more than a century later.

The ossuary serves as a memorial to soldiers from both armies, reflecting the scale of loss endured by all sides during one of the deadliest battles of the war.

After the war, nine villages around Verdun were so completely destroyed that they were never rebuilt. The French government officially declared them “villages that died for France” (villages détruits). Although no one lives there today, each village still legally exists on maps and has a ceremonial mayor appointed to preserve its memory.
