“You too close to quit, you too close to give up, you too close to surrender, you too close to stop, you too close to not forgive.”
Deion Sanders shares a powerful Sunday morning message he says God whispered to him during his walk/run.

You better know someone damn well to say something like this. And judging from Jay Will’s reaction, he doesn’t have that kind of relationship with Richard Jefferson.
Just a bad, bad look.
They called it suicide!
Sadie Mae Washington was 30 years old. A nurse who delivered over 300 babies. Killed for her brother's debt. The system called it suicide and closed the case in 6 hours.
Bumpy Johnson saw a cover-up and made sure Harlem never forgot her name.
Harlem, 1948. Mount Olivet Baptist Church. Sunday afternoon. Over 400 people packed into wooden pews. The organ playing his eyes on the sparrow. Reverend Adam Clayton Powell Jr. mid eulogy. Then Bumpy Johnson stood up from the second row. The room went silent. Bumpy walked toward the casket, slow, deliberate, each footstep echoing against the walls.
The organ stopped, the preacher stopped. 400 people held their breath. Bumpy reached the casket, looked down at nurse Sadie May Washington, the peaceful expression, the white lace dress, the thick makeup covering her face and neck. Everyone else had seen a woman who died too young. Bumpy saw a cover up. He leaned closer, studied her neck, then reached down and touched the powder on her throat.
When he pulled his hand back, his fingers were covered in thick theatrical makeup.
He looked at the funeral director standing nervously near the wall. "Why is there so much makeup on her neck?"
The man went pale, started sweating.
Bumpy pushed back Sadie's collar, and what 400 people saw next made women scream and men turn away. Rope burns, deep, brutal, purple, and black, circling her throat like a necklace of violence.
This wasn't a heart attack. This was murder. And what Bumpy did in the next 96 hours killed three men, made six NYPD officers resign, and changed how Harlem dealt with police corruption forever.
