Wesley Carl Moran went home to meet his savior this evening, surrounded by family.

He taught me about deaf culture, brought joy wherever he went, and made Daviston, Alabama what it was to me. Chicken stew will never be the same.

Arrangements to follow.

@ScottButtram @WarOnDumb @CoachForGov Operating at Lake Martin with many transplants, residency is something we contend with. Via court cases/AG opinions, indicators are: driver license, homestead, voter registration, & school enrollment. Courts hesitate to deprive voters. This was always fool’s gold panned by fools.

I eagerly await the @WarOnDumb conspiracy video explaining how @CoachForGov doesn’t meet the residency requirements for Governor, despite evidence to the contrary.

Never forget when Sid Vicious was accompanied to the ring by his real-life neighbor turned coach for the night, Seth, who has Down's Syndrome

Seth even cuts a backstage promo

He was a tremendous human. Very humble guy outside the ring ❤️🥹

I would have bet on no home runs at Wrigley tonight. It looks like 1-hr by the Athletics may be enough.

Life Is a Gift

Every morning I wake up, I remind myself that life is not something I earned, it is something I was given. Breath is not a guarantee, it is grace. Strength is not a right, it is mercy. And the moment I start thinking I deserve these things, I lose sight of the One who gave them.

We live in a world that moves fast, where people chase what they do not have and forget to thank God for what they do. But gratitude changes everything. It turns ordinary moments into miracles. It turns pain into perspective. It turns survival into testimony.

I have learned that gratitude is not about ignoring the hard days, it is about seeing God’s hand even in them. It is about realizing that the things we take for granted are the very things someone else is praying for. A meal, a home, a heartbeat, a second chance. When you start counting blessings instead of losses, you begin to see how rich you already are.

Life is fragile, but it is also beautiful. Every breath is a reminder that God is still writing your story. Every sunrise is proof that grace is still available. Every challenge is an opportunity to trust Him more deeply.

So today, take a moment to pause. Look around. Thank God for what you have, for what you survived, and for what He is still doing. Gratitude does not change your circumstances, but it will change your heart — and that changes everything.

Scripture:

“Give thanks in all circumstances, for this is God’s will for you in Christ Jesus.” — 1 Thessalonians 5:18

What does it mean for Aden Holloway’s status with Alabama basketball? Here’s what Alabama AD Greg Byrne said last week:

“Any conversation about whether or not Aden comes back is very premature,” Byrne told https://t.co/LNRSh8ZOi8 May 27. “Aden still has legal hurdles to overcome. If he works those out, there would still be multiple steps before we would consider a plan to allow him the opportunity to officially rejoin the program. Any discussions are too early.”
