Shank disguised himself as an Uber driver for a day and his first passengers 3 altรฉ girls.
The moment they got into his G-Wagon, they immediately tried to connect their phones to his Bluetooth ๐
He is 83 years old
A trailer crash in 1972 killed wife Neilia and daughter Naomi instantly. Sons barely survived
Considered suicide after the crash. But he chose life for his boys
Memorized entire textbooks to hide his reading/stutter struggles
Still recites Irish poetry from memory to conquer his old stutter
Weeded gardens and washed windows to pay prep school tuition
Never drank alcohol. He vowed to break the family addiction cycle
Failed Vietnam draft physical due to asthma
Got college probation for fire extinguisher prank on dorm director
He is the second Catholic US president ever
Blocked from high school student president over demerits, but still won class president
Still drives the 1967 Corvette his dad gave him as a wedding gift
After loosing his wife and daughter in 1972, Joe Biden's son, Beau, urged him to run for president in 2016, but the plans were stopped when Beau died from Brain cancer.
Joe Biden grieved his son with the words "My God, my beautiful boy"
Joe Biden would later go on to see the funerals of his wife, his daughter and his son

I never knew Joe Biden has faced this amount of life's storm.
The most painful thing is giving birth to children and burying the children with your own hands, closely followed by the death of a spouse.
Joe Biden struggled with speech and stammering. He was refused to be drafted because he had asthma.
He even survived 2 fatal brain conditions in 1988.
And still, with all these history, he came to lead an entire nation. And not just a nation, but a world power nation.
You might have your own reservations about Joe Biden and rightfully so.
But if you look beyond the president, and into him as an human.... Then you just might see an human with a lot of scars and painful past, while still trying to hold on to life and let out a smile when he can โค๏ธ
My thought, prayers and best wishes are with Joe Biden and his entire family during this crucial period.

Watch the beautiful moment Emmanuel Irene matched a lady with genotype AS, who had been struggling to find an AA partner, with an AA brother in the congregation.
1๏ธโฃ. Prepare ahead & Be organized - this is something I do every year prior to resumption. Always be IN THE KNOW. I always make sure that days before I resume, Iโve written out the syllabus & outlined the things required of me by the course, especially after my meetings with seniors
Anybody that met me before camp in real life knows that I was shy
I got to camp and I instantly became a social butterfly. I could approach anybody regardless of who they were and start up a conversation.
Helped build my confidence
I was also quite popular in my platoon and they even made me โkitchen papaโ for my platoon.
Won second place โMr Africaโ for my platoon too๐. Met really amazing people. Women mostly.
Genuinely sad the day we were supposed to leave for camp. Iโve actually even considered sneaking into another camp๐๐
โAll things are lawful for me, but all things are not expedient: all things are lawful for me, but all things edify not.โ - 1 Corinthians 10:23
There are some things you should never do simply because of where God has placed you and the privileged position of a shepherd He has entrusted to you.
Leadership in the body of Christ is not just about personal liberty, but public responsibility.
What may be permissible for an individual is not always profitable for the flock
โBut take heed lest by any means this liberty of your's become a stumblingblock to them that are weak.โ - 1 Corinthians 8:9
Pastors are called to be examples, not experiments
โneither as being Lords over God's heritage, but being ensamples to the flock.โ - 1 Peter 5:3
Not everything that expresses freedom builds faith, and not everything culture celebrates advances the gospel.
This is not about tattoos - itโs about discernment, influence, trust, & accountability before God and men.
I personally wouldnโt say I am shocked, but rather I am terribly embarrassed.
I am so sure within him he had a restraint to go ahead with this but he went with ahead it nevertheless.
May God help our pastors & ministers of the gospel.
We Are All Very Excited About Fela Being the First African to Receive a Grammy Lifetime Honour.
After Fela diโฌd, Obasanjo took over government. He probably would have diโฌd of hypertension when Nigerians voted for Obasanjo
