Jelly Roll SHOCKS the entire Grammys audience by giving praise to Jesus Christ.
The entire night consisted of “F*ck ICE” and anti-Trump comments up until this point. He shut that down.
Beautiful moment. God bless him. 🙏🏻
It's 2025 now.
You just endured the greatest battle of your life, but you're in a car with Jesus now, driving down the road and talking about life.
You confess that your thoughts are dark. Your heart is heavy and your anxieties are many.
As you speak softly, ashamed of what you're feeling, Jesus takes a deep breath. He holds space for you to finish talking. Your old Ford truck huffs and puffs down the street, and you wonder what Jesus is thinking....
A moment of silence passes between you two. The darkness you feel inside is palpable.
Then...He speaks. He softly says your name, "You are not your anxiety. You are not your pain. You are not your intrusive thoughts. You are not the train tracks on your arms."
You feel light collide with dark.
"Then what am I?" You ask while feeling hot tears slide down your cheeks.
Jesus reaches over, touches your tears, and with a steady voice says, "You are mine."
*If you're seeing this it is because you were meant to. Sending you so much love!
@stephdlarson@imbrettcooper This! I try to monitor what my young teen is reading, and it’s a losing battle. She went through the Harry Potter/Percy Jackson phase when she was young!! Then Hunger Games, but it’s been hard to find things that interest her that I’ll allow as she has gotten older.

Long Brooks Robinson story I believe I told on radio:
When the Orioles played in Memorial Stadium, the PA announcer was named Rex Barney. When a fan made a great catch of a foul ball, he'd say, "Give that fan a contract." At a game with my dad and Brooks fouls off a pitch. Dad makes a leaping catch, everyone cheers, Rex does his thing. I'm over the moon. I got a Brooks Robinson foul ball. Can't believe it.
Next day at school, I tell everyone. Obviously. After school we have to play catch with this ball. Obviously. I figure I can throw a major league curve ball with it. I can't. I throw it low, my friend can't catch it. Now is when I mention we lived at the top of a hill. Ball rolls down the street and into a sewer.
The Brooks ball is gone. I never told my dad when he was alive. I always look up to the sky at this point and say, "Sorry 'bout that, Pop."
I tell this story decades later at a charity event in Baltimore. Turns out a man at our table did some work with Brooks. A week later a box arrives at my house with this and a note:
Hope this makes up for the one that got away, Brooks.
Indeed it did, Brooks. What a man.
The most impressive thing about Bari Weiss on last night’s Bill Maher is the wild applause after she finishes here. After two years the tides are turning, even for the left leaning people in this country when it comes to covid. Watch this:
