🚨 THIS YOUNG MAN IS A HERO.
Fourteen-year-old Acie Holland III was riding home from school, looking at his phone, when something felt wrong.
The bus had passed his stop.
Then it began accelerating.
Acie looked toward the front and saw the driver unconscious over the steering wheel. The moving bus, carrying 14 students, was drifting across the centerline toward oncoming traffic.
Acie did not scream.
He did not freeze.
He did not wait for an adult to save them.
This eighth grader ran forward, seized the steering wheel, guided the bus back into its lane, moved the driver’s foot from the accelerator and pressed the brake until that enormous bus came safely to the curb.
He could not find the parking brake, so he turned the wheels hard toward the curb to prevent the bus from rolling away.
That is presence of mind under pressure.
Then Acie checked on the younger students, told them to contact their parents, made certain 911 had been called and went to get his grandmother, Phyllis Holland, who is a nurse.
The driver regained consciousness and received medical care. Every student made it home safely.
Acie had worked on cars with his father and enjoyed go-karting, but nothing could have completely prepared a 14-year-old boy to take control of a moving school bus.
Something had already been built inside him: courage, mechanical understanding, responsibility and the instinct to protect others.
His classmates gave him a new name:
“AC-Hero.”
That name fits.
While the world spends enormous energy telling us what is wrong with young men, Acie Holland III reminded us what can be right with them.
Fourteen students reached home because one young man recognized the danger, stepped forward and acted.
May God continue to strengthen this remarkable young man.

He spent 730 days by her side, watching her fight. But the day she "won," he knew the battle wasn't over. »
A woman finally rang the bell, finishing two grueling years of chemotherapy. She was ready to start her life again. But the very next morning, her dog-the same one who had curled up beside her through every nauseating night of treatment-began to act strange.
He wouldn't stop pressing his nose against the exact same spot on her chest. He whimpered, a low, desperate sound that didn't stop for three days.
She thought it was just the "new normal" or a change in routine. She was wrong.
Driven by an intuition she couldn't explain, she called her doctor. They ran the tests, expecting nothing. What they found gave the entire medical team chills:
A New Tumor: So microscopic that no standard scan would have picked it up for at least another eight weeks.
The Window: By the time a machine could see it, it would have been nearly untreatable. The Miracle: Her dog didn't need a scan. He could smell the cellular shift before science even had a name for it.
"He spent two years helping her survive the first fight. He wasn't about to let her lose the second one."
Sometimes, the most powertul medicine doesn't come in a vial—it comes with tour paws and a heart that refuses to let go.

Just received this note from a SpaceX engineer helping on the ground in North Carolina.
@FEMA is not merely failing to adequately help people in trouble, but is actively blocking citizens who try to help!
“Hey Elon, update here on site of Asheville, NC. We have powered up two large operating bases for choppers to deliver goods into hands. We’ve deployed 300+ starlinks and outpour is it has saved many lives.
The big issue is FEMA is actively blocking shipments and seizing goods and services locally and locking them away to state they are their own. It’s very real and scary how much they have taken control to stop people helping. We are blocked now on the shipments of new starlinks coming in until we get an escort from the fire dept. but that may not be enough.”
The #FBI offers a reward of up to $25,000 for info leading to the whereabouts of Liliana Moreno & her daughter, Daniella, who have been missing from Doral, Florida, since May 30, 2016. They were allegedly last seen at or near the Home Depot in Hialeah, FL: https://t.co/nTKm8MAV9j
