.5 seconds to shoot off a jump ball.
What a finish. I screamed! Glad Mystics won but they have to study what happens to them in the last 3 min of games.
Really happy Betts got some time in too. Give her more, coach.
My nieces’ beloved cat Leonard has gone missing in Burwash, East Sussex.
It’s been 4 days and he has a medical condition. I’ll offer a £1000 reward to anyone who finds him.
Zverev after winning his 1st Slam at Roland Garros
"We've been through injuries. We've been through heartbreak. We've been through losses. We've been losers at times in the important moments. But at the end of the day, we're Grand Slam Champions now." ❤️
First, the Kentucky Derby. Now the Belmont Stakes. Five weeks ago, @reredevaux became the first woman to win the Kentucky Derby.
Now, she, @jose93_ortiz, and Golden Tempo are @BelmontStakes winners. The reaction says it all.
Kentucky Derby winner Golden Tempo wins the 158th Belmont Stakes with Jose Ortiz aboard for Cherie DeVaux, claiming the final leg of the Triple Crown.
They did it.
There's been demands to know my skincare routine so here’s my ACTUAL routine.
Step 1: wash using ice cold water from the nearby pond
Step 2: rub against a rock to exfoliate
Step 3: use snow for that ultimate glow
To you, it's just a Cracker Barrel parking lot. To me, it's where I gave my life to Jesus Christ.
I was 21 years old. I was working at the Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee after some of the worst years of my life. I'd made mistakes. Real ones.
I grew up in Crown Heights, Brooklyn, raised by a mom who worked hard and didn't accept excuses. But I made decisions that should have ended my story before it ever really started. By the grace of God, they didn't. But every day, I was carrying them.
One afternoon, a church group came into the restaurant, just back from a revival. I served them their meals like I served any other table. But something happened while I was serving them. I can't fully explain it to you. The Lord spoke to me. He said, “Stop running from Me.”
It knocked me back.
I went to find the table, and they were all gone. I could see through their windows that they were getting on their bus, and I knew deep down that if I let them drive away, I was going to keep running. So I went outside. The last woman, just as she was stepping onto the bus, turned to me and asked, “Are you okay?”
I told her, “No ma’am, I’m not okay.” I told her the Lord was telling me to stop running.
That whole bus emptied out, stood with me in the parking lot of a Cracker Barrel in Tallahassee, Florida, and prayed over me right there.
I gave my life to Christ that day. Right there.
I still get emotional about it. Because I know what I was before that moment, and I know what He's done since. He gave me a wife who shares my faith. He gave me three sons. He gave me a career, a community, a calling I never would have dared to ask for. He took a kid from Crown Heights who’d run out of chances and gave him a life that doesn't make sense apart from grace.
People ask me sometimes why I talk about it. Why I bring up the parking lot. Why I don't just keep that part private and let folks see the polished version.
I'll tell you why.
Because there's a young man out there right now — maybe in Tallahassee, maybe in Tampa, maybe in Miami, maybe in a small town in the Panhandle — who thinks his story is already over. Who thinks the mistakes he's made disqualify him from the life he could have had. Who thinks God doesn't want anything to do with somebody like him.
I'm here to tell him: that's a lie.
In life, you're not who you are at the lowest point. You're who you choose to become after.
The Lord met me in a Cracker Barrel parking lot. He'll meet you wherever you are.
You just have to stop running.
Neil Diamond wrote "I'm a Believer" in 1966, and The Monkees recorded it for their second album, More of The Monkees. The song captured the 1960s’ sense of possibility—love and hope.
House of the Rising Sun is a traditional American folk ballad (with origins dating back to the late nineteenth century and possibly linked to a royal brothel in New Orleans called the Rising Sun). The Animals turned it into rock music in 1964. They took the acoustic version of Bob Dylan (from the 1962 album) and decided to upgrade.
Released as a single, it was #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks and also #1 in the UK. It was British Invasion's biggest hit to date and the first #1 by a British band in the US with a non-original song.
