Alabama ICU nurses buy an inflatable pool to fulfill a dying patient's final wish: to be baptized.

Three Huntsville Hospital ICU nurses say they were going to stop at nothing to fulfill Jeannie Guffey's wish of being baptized.

"It was just a really sweet, emotional moment. The nurses went above and beyond to make this happen at the 11th hour when we were running out of options," Guffey's daughter-in-law said.

Guffey passed away peacefully one week later.

What a beautiful story.

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy.

She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid.

The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%.

She handed out the checks herself.

In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college.

When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months.

You've probably heard that part.

Here's the part you haven't:

The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top.

Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave.

She built her county an entire hospital.

She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it.

In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees.

Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal.

In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release.

And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it.

She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway.

She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did.

Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

DRINKING WAS ONCE MY BIGGEST BATTLE. BUT IT DIDN’T HAVE TO BE THE END OF MY STORY. THE FIGHT IS REAL. SO IS REDEMPTION. FACE WHAT’S INSIDE YOU, ASK GOD FOR FORGIVENESS, AND TAKE THE NEXT STEP TOWARD A BETTER LIFE. EVEN IN YOUR DARKEST HOUR, HIS GRACE CAN STILL FIND YOU. ✝️

When I covered Opening Day @DelMarRacing this year with @SJBray I hoped this announcement would be happening. Personally, I’m immeasurably excited to be back for the Pacific Classic this year, but can’t stop thinking about what the Future Media landscape for Horse Racing will & CAN look like.

Next Summer it will be the greatest block of Television showcasing Horse Racing we’ve ever seen. Complete on-site @Saratoga1863 coverage leading into Complete on-site Del Mar coverage on @FOXSports This cornerstone TV programming will take the best of our Sport across all New Media platforms too. This has never happened before, and it’s happening because the Industry is coming together to solve the void of TVG/@FanDuel TV going away. This deal doesn’t happen without leaders from many organizations stepping up to combine ideas and resources. Great credit to David O’Rourke @TheNYRA , Josh Rubinstein @DelMarRacing and Gary Fenton @toc_racing for not waiting and taking on this issue with the immediacy it requires.

Above all, the biggest and most important Thank You is to YOU. This Sport and the Media coverage of it only exists because of you.

Hopefully, this is just the beginning of many more announcements like this. Out of jarring change something even better can arise, that’s my hope for the Future. As for now, this current announcement makes me think about Chris Stapleton’s lyrics from his song ‘Starting Over’: “Well, the road rolls out like a welcome mat
to a better place than the one we're at…But nobody wins, afraid of losing.
And the hard roads are the ones worth choosing. Someday we'll look back and smile, And know it was worth every mile.” 🤓

After their defeat to England yesterday the DR Congo team gathered on the pitch to pray to Jesus.

Amen.

[Shahriq Khan @RealShahriqKhan]

You know what shook me when I was Muslim?

The story of Hosea. God tells a prophet to marry a woman He knows will betray him.

She does. She runs to other men. She ends up enslaved, sold, used up, worthless to the world.

And God tells Hosea to go BUY HER BACK.

To pay money for his own wife who cheated on him, and love her again. Hosea 3.

I thought it was the most humiliating command in the Bible. Why would any man do that?

Then I realized I was the wife.

I gave my heart to everything but God. I chased other masters. I sold myself cheap. I made myself worthless.

And God looked at me, the betrayer, and didn’t say “you’re not worth it.”

He said, “Name the price. I’m buying her back.”

That’s the Gospel. God doesn’t wait for the unfaithful to come crawling back clean.

He pays to redeem them while they’re still dirty.

Islam told me to make myself worthy of God.

Hosea showed me a God who pays to redeem the unworthy.

The cross was Him naming the price.

Praise the Lord.
