He is Risen!
Today we celebrate the greatest comeback in history—when Jesus walked out of the tomb, and conquered death once and for all. Because He took our place and paid the price for our sin, we no longer need to fear death. He made a way for us to live forever with Him. All He asks is that we follow Him.
The Price is Paid. He is Risen. We are Free.
We call it Good Friday now but on that day nothing seemed “good”.
It was dark at midday. Jesus had been crucified and was now dead on a cross. All His enemies were celebrating and it seemed Satan had won. But fortunately the story was not over because God WAS NOT FINISHED! 🙏🏽
83 years ago, our Pacific Fleet faced devastation at Pearl Harbor, but the courage of our Sailors and civilians turned tragedy into resolve. Today, we honor their sacrifice and bravery, a legacy woven into the fabric of our Navy’s history. #PearlHarborRemembranceDay#NeverForget #USNavy @USNavyCNO@SECNAV
@JimODay57@JMUSports@BourneJeff I echo Jim’s comments having served with Jeff on the Football Championship Committee. All the best to him and his family as he enters retirement.
Pray for those good folks in the Texas Panhandle who are losing their homes and possessions due to wildfires. Prayers too for the firefighters who are trying to contain these fires that have burned more than a quarter million acres.
Having had the greatest professional privilege of serving on and chairing the NCAA Division I Men's Basketball Committee in recent years, I am utterly dumbfounded to read the news about new NIT selection criteria. If true, this is quite the awful Friday news dump!
Today marks the 187th anniversary of the fall of the Alamo, a defining moment in Texas history. The bravery and sacrifice of those who fought for freedom will forever be remembered and honored. Let us never forget their legacy. Remember The Alamo.
Happy Birthday, Texas! 187 years ago today, on March 2nd, 1836, 59 men signed the Texas Declaration of Independence, officially breaking from Mexico and creating the Republic of Texas. We've been through a lot since then --- had our share of bad characters and tough times --- but the spirit of those folks who took such a leap of faith lives on.
Here's an 1836 copy of the official document.
