@DrShayPhD The great confession is the centerpiece of Christianity. Jesus IS the Messiah! Jesus is the Son of God!
The evil ones thought they had won when Jesus was dead and buried. They were mistaken.

For nearly ten years, he walked into the same pharmacy every month. He took out a folded $100 bill, placed it on the counter, and walked away. Nobody was supposed to know why.

His name was Hody Childress. He lived in the small town of Geraldine, Alabama, with a population of fewer than a thousand people. Around 2012, Hody walked into the local pharmacy, Geraldine Drugs, and asked its owner and pharmacist, Brooke Walker, a simple question: “Do people ever come here to pick up their medications but leave without them because they can't afford to pay?” She answered, “Yes.”

Hody then handed her $100 and asked her to use the money for people who couldn't afford their prescription medications. But he had two conditions: he didn't want to know whom he helped, and the people receiving the assistance were never supposed to know his name. If anyone asked where the money came from, Brooke was instructed to say only: “It's a blessing from God.”

The following month, Hody returned and brought another $100. Then he came back again. And again. Month after month, year after year, for nearly a decade.

He wasn't a millionaire. Hody was a farmer, a U.S. Air Force veteran, and a retiree. He lived primarily on his savings and Social Security benefits. Yet every month, he found that same $100 for someone who might need it more than he did.

The pharmacy used this small, secret fund to help people without insurance or those whose medications their insurance companies refused to cover. According to the pharmacist, the money was often enough to help approximately two people each month. Over the years, hundreds of people benefited.

Some received the essential medications they needed. Others had prescriptions paid for when their insurance wouldn't cover them. For one family, the assistance made it possible to purchase an expensive EpiPen for their child. And almost nobody knew whom to thank.

In late 2022, Hody's health deteriorated significantly. Because of a chronic lung condition, he could no longer make his regular visits to the pharmacy. That was when he finally had to reveal his secret to at least one person: his daughter, Tania. He told her about the $100 and asked her to continue delivering the money on his behalf.

On January 1, 2023, Hody Childress passed away. He was 80 years old. It was only at his funeral that his daughter told people what her father had been doing all those years. And the little town finally discovered who had been behind those mysterious acts of generosity.

People who had once received their medications despite not having enough money learned the name of their anonymous benefactor for the first time.

Then something happened that Hody would never live to see. Other people began coming into the pharmacy. Some brought $20, others brought $50, and some brought their own $100. Among them were neighbors, relatives, and even people whom Hody himself had once helped.

The pharmacy established the Hody Childress Fund so that his small tradition could continue paying for medications for people who couldn't afford them.

For nearly ten years, Hody did everything he could to make sure nobody knew his name. And after his death, that name became the name of a fund.

All he had done was leave a folded $100 bill on a pharmacy counter every month. But it turned out that he had left behind something far greater.

Sometimes kindness needs no cameras, no applause, and not even a thank-you. Sometimes it simply waits quietly behind a pharmacy counter, at the exact moment someone needs it most. ❤️

You probably have a PBM. But do you know what it actually does?

A Pharmacy Benefit Manager, or PBM, operates between your insurance company, drug manufacturers, and pharmacies.

PBMs help manage prescription drug benefits, but their influence goes much further than simply processing prescriptions.

They can help determine:

✔ Which medications your insurance covers
✔ Which drugs receive preferred formulary placement
✔ Prices negotiated with manufacturers
✔ How much pharmacies are reimbursed
✔ What you may ultimately pay out of pocket

One term every patient should know is **formulary**.

Your formulary is essentially the list of medications covered by your health plan. Different tiers can mean different copays, restrictions, or levels of access.

And according to the video, rebate agreements between manufacturers and PBMs can influence how those tiers are structured.

So when your medication suddenly is not covered, requires a higher copay, or your pharmacist tells you insurance prefers another drug, there may be decisions happening behind the scenes that you never see.

That is why transparency matters.

Patients deserve to understand **who is making these decisions and why.**

Before this video, did you know what a PBM was? 👇

Your pharmacy could lose money filling your prescription. And that affects you, too.

Imagine this:

💊 A pharmacy pays $1,000 for your medication.

💊 Insurance reimburses the pharmacy $600.

💊 You pay a $100 copay.

The pharmacy receives $700 for a medication that cost $1,000.

That's a $300 loss on just ONE prescription.

This example highlights a concern many independent pharmacies face: reimbursement that does not cover the cost of the medication itself.

And when those losses happen repeatedly, the impact can reach the entire community.

A pharmacy may have to reduce its hours, cut services, or eventually close.

When that happens, patients don't stop needing their medications.

They move to other pharmacies, potentially increasing prescription volume, wait times, and pressure on pharmacy staff.

Even if YOUR pharmacy stays open, closures elsewhere can still affect your experience.

This is why fair reimbursement matters.

It is about keeping pharmacies accessible, supporting the people who care for patients, and helping communities maintain reliable access to medications.

What do you think? 👇

Should PBMs be allowed to reimburse pharmacies less than what a medication costs them to purchase?

Have pharmacy closures or longer prescription wait times affected you?

25 years ago today, 10 days after the 9/11 attacks 17yr old white boy Ross Parker was walking home from his part-time kitchen job at the Solstice pub with his girlfriend.

A group of 10 Pakistanis, excited by the attacks on America, surrounded them, telling Ross "he better run", they sprayed him with CS gas, struck him with a hammer, and kicked him while he was on the ground.

Ross three times through the throat and chest using a foot-long hunting knife, and died in the street.

Never forget.

RIP Ross.

There’s so much to say about September 11th, but I think this video speaks louder than I ever will.

[Wade Miller @WadeMiller]

After 9/11 I dropped out of college and joined the Marine Corps, volunteering for the infantry.

I knew that “radical Islam” was responsible for the attack, and I wanted to have a rifle in my hand to go after those who were responsible for and in league with those who attacked us. Obviously in hindsight, our missions in Iraq and Afghanistan were poorly executed with no achievable objective ever clearly articulated, devolving into nonsensical nation building exercises.

In the 25 years since, all of my experiences, including multiple deployments, and decades of research, have led me to a more important realization…

It wasn’t “radical Islam” that attacked the United States, it was just Islam.

And more importantly, that virtually no society that has seen a large influx of Islam has remained intact, and otherwise survived it.

Islam is the problem, and I realize how uncomfortable it is for Americans to speak in absolutes, and that there may be outliers, but at large scale, Islam has never resulted in a society that embraces and appreciates human liberty. In the wild Islam at scale destroys liberty, it doesn’t foster and build it.

Islam is a political ideology doctrinally dedicated to the conquering and subjugation of all non-Muslims.

Radical Islam isn’t a national security threat to the United States, Islam is, and people need to learn to be comfortable saying that, because if enough don’t, our children and grandchildren will not inherit liberty, they will inherit Islamic theocracy.

For those who are 26 years old or younger, this clip is NOT Ai.

It’s when Islamists hijacked passenger aircraft, killed crew members and crashed the planes into the twin towers.

You may be supporting Hamas and “the resistance” but September 11, 2001 is when it started.

[Shannon Ford 🇺🇸 @shannonfordUSA]

This video of 9-11 in 2001 is trending in 2026 because many are saying it's the first time they've seen the video. It shows the plane hitting the second tower.

The strangest two verses in the New Testament, and almost nobody notices them.

"The tombs also were opened. And many bodies of the saints who had fallen asleep were raised, and coming out of the tombs after his resurrection they went into the holy city and appeared to many."
- Matthew 27:52–53

Read that again.

The moment Jesus died, graves broke open around Jerusalem. Dead believers came back to life. They walked into the city. People saw them.

And then... Matthew moves on. Two sentences. No names. No follow-up. No other Gospel even mentions it.

You've probably read the crucifixion account a dozen times and skimmed right past it.

So what actually happened?

Notice the timing first; it's stranger than it looks. The tombs opened at Jesus' death, when the earth quaked and the rocks split. But the saints came out and appeared in the city "after his resurrection." Matthew is being careful. Nobody rises before Jesus. He is "the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep" (1 Corinthians 15:20), the first sheaf of the harvest, guaranteeing the rest. The graves cracked open on Friday. But death had to wait for Sunday.

Why does only Matthew record it? Because Matthew is writing to Jewish readers who knew their prophets. Ezekiel 37: the valley of dry bones, graves opened, God's people raised. Isaiah 26:19: "Your dead shall live; their bodies shall rise." Every Jewish reader would have understood instantly: the resurrection age the prophets promised didn't just get predicted at the cross. It started.

And that's the point of these two strange verses.

The moment Jesus died, death itself began running in reverse.

Not at the end of time. Not someday. That afternoon. The quake that split the rocks split the graves as if creation itself understood before the disciples did.

Those unnamed saints were a preview. A down payment. Proof that what happened to Jesus will happen to everyone who belongs to Him.

The tombs opened at the cross.

Yours will too.

[Zombo @13Zombo13]

It's official. I'm a doctor that doesn't have health insurance. Switched to a private practice and I'm not paying for this scam called healthcare. It's like they make you pay a rental fee to live. Unless you have serious health problems, you're being ripped off to pay for the people with serious health problems.

FYI, the Affordable Care Act (Obamacare) is what ruined Americans healthcare.

Independent pharmacy owner Fair Jones of Sav-Mor Drugs and Gifts in Grenada, Mississippi, is bringing national attention to the financial reality facing community pharmacies.

In a new PEOPLE feature, Fair shares that about 20% of the prescriptions she fills are reimbursed below the cost of the medication itself. After labor and operating expenses, she estimates nearly 80% are filled at a loss.

Her story is personal, but it represents a much larger problem facing independent pharmacies across the country.

Thank you, Fair, for sharing your story and helping bring national attention to why fair pharmacy reimbursement and meaningful PBM reform matter.

Read and share Fair's story:

Contrary to popular PBM logic, a pharmacy cannot survive selling medications for less money (or equal monies) than what that business paid for stocking those medications in their inventory.

Politicians, please collectively pull your heads from your backsides and listen to your constituents.

We aren’t making up stories for headlines.

This is Main Street America, the small business, aka the “backbone” of America as I’ve heard many times before.
