๐จWOW!!!
Firefighters and college football players showed up to a Tennessee senior home...to pull grandmas and grandpas down a MASSIVE slip 'n slide!!!
Seniors with dementia and Parkinson's laughed like little kids again.
This is the annual "Ride 'n Slide" at Adams Place in Murfreesboro, Tennessee where a giant tarp is stretched across the lawn and the Murfreesboro Fire Department keeps it soaked and lifts residents safely on and off.
The Middle Tennessee State football team spent their day pulling grandmas across the water on inner tubes and cheering them on every single ride.
One resident, Mike Mitchell, an Army veteran and a retired minister who preached for SIXTY YEARS, talked himself into it right there on the lawn.
One grandma went down FOUR times and came up smiling saying, "Well that was fast!"
Organizers say the residents with dementia and Parkinson's light up brightest of all.
For one afternoon, no diagnoses, no age, just water, laughter, and people cheering your name.
That's so amazing...
GOD BLESS THESE PEOPLE!!!! ๐บ๐ธ
A 4-year-old boy whose father left him, stood outside every single day for months waving at strangers... just hoping somebody would say hi back, in North Carolina.
Then one neighbor walked across the street to meet him.
Now an ENTIRE NEIGHBORHOOD shows up for his soccer games, his swim lessons, his birthday parties.
Roman Butzlaff is 4 years old, from Concord NC, just outside Charlotte.
His mom says he wakes up every single morning excited to say "hi" to somebody. It's the very first thing he wants to do.
But behind that big smile was a hurting little heart. His parents split about a year ago and his dad moved away.
Then a neighbor named Wade Fulgum did the simplest, most powerful thing in the world.
He just walked across the street... and met the little boy who was always waving at him.
And it spread.
Now about a DOZEN neighbors, people who barely knew each other's names, show up for Roman's soccer games.
His basketball games. His swimming lessons. Even his preschool open house. His birthday party guest list was basically a map of the block.
One neighbor said it best: "If the world was like this child, what an awesome, awesome place it would be."
Hear from Venezuelan earthquake survivors in this special report from @Greta Van Susteren, who was at our @SamaritansPurse Emergency Field Hospital and other ministry sites there yesterday. The devastation is overwhelming, and so many people are hurtingโplease pray for them.
Please prepare yourself...
I have cried multiple times writing this post.
Sadly, police have found partial remains of the body of little 4-year-old Javeayah Harris from Aiken, South Carolina.
The details are so horrifying, I'm struggling to write them.
According to investigators, Javeayah's parents allegedly:
a) assaulted her
b) refused to get her medical treatment for her injuries
c) she then passed away as a result of her injuries
d) "used tools" to make disposing of her body "easier"
e) dumped her body in acid
f) "poured" her remains into a pond
g) faked a 911 call to say she had "just" gone missing
h) sent thousands of people out looking for her
...but the entire time, they knew she was not alive
It is the most, vile, grotesque, evil thing I've ever heard in my entire life.
I have no words...
These demons should no longer be breathing the same air as us.
One of the most incredible storm damage pictures Iโve ever seen happened this morning in South Dakota. A 131 mph wind gust in the city of Highmore split the roof of the Catholic Church perfectly illuminating the crucifix. This is not AI, itโs been confirmed real by locals. Truly amazing.
