WOW! A drone show put on by a church in Manvel, Texas depicts our Savior Jesus on the cross. One of the coolest things I’ve ever seen. Tomorrow, HE IS RISEN.

I'm going to keep posting this Alstair Begg clip "The Man on the Middle Cross" (less than four minutes in length) every Holy Week, because its message is true in 2026, it will be true in 2036 and it will be true in 3036. "If i take my eyes off the cross, I can then give only lip service to its efficacy while at the same time living as if my salvation depends upon me. And as soon as you go there it will lead you either to abject despair or a horrible kind of arrogance. And it is only the cross of Christ that deals both with the dreadful depths of despair and the pretentious arrogance of the pride of man that says you know, I can figure this out."

This is so wholesome. 48 years ago today, on the last ever Carol Burnett Show, Tim Conway surprised Carol with her idol, Jimmy Stewart. Her reaction transforms her into a kid again.

At a quiet wildlife sanctuary in Missouri, something happened that left grown men wiping their eyes and caretakers frozen in disbelief. Murphy, a bald eagle who could no longer fly, had spent years grounded by an old injury. While other eagles soared overhead, he lived his life on the earth, admired by visitors for the sharp eyes and powerful wings he would never again use to touch the sky. One spring morning in 2023, the keepers noticed something unusual. Murphy had begun gathering twigs—not haphazardly, but with deliberate care. Piece by piece, he arranged them exactly as a wild eagle would in the treetops, shaping a nest on the ground with the tenderness of a devoted parent. Soon he settled into it, lowering his body as though guarding something precious. But there was no egg. What he protected was a rock—a simple, cold stone. Yet Murphy treated it as if it were his own offspring. He sat over it for hours, barely moving. He flared his wings when other eagles came too close. He stared down anything that approached. To him, that rock mattered. To him, it was life. The staff watched in silence, moved by the sight. It was both tender and heartbreaking: a bird who could not fly still carried the fire of a father, even when nature had given him nothing to raise. Then, by chance, an orphaned eaglet arrived at the sanctuary—too young to survive alone, hungry, weak, a tiny bundle of feathers in desperate need of a miracle. Someone thought of Murphy. If he could love a rock with such fierce devotion, what might he do for a living, breathing chick? With steady hands and held breath, the caretakers made a quiet decision. They removed the rock from Murphy’s nest and gently placed the eaglet in its place. What happened next stayed with everyone who witnessed it. Murphy looked down, leaned closer, and studied the trembling little body beneath him. Then he spread his wings and pulled the eaglet close, as if he had been waiting his entire life for that moment. No hesitation. No confusion. Only acceptance. From that day on, Murphy fed the chick, guarded it, and kept it warm through cold nights. A bird who would never again rise into the clouds was giving another eagle the chance to one day rule them. Visitors lingered longer at his enclosure. Some cried. Others stood silently, hands over their mouths. Here was a creature broken by fate, still choosing love without question. Murphy reminded everyone of something we often forget in hard times: strength doesn’t always mean flying high. Sometimes it means staying grounded and opening your heart anyway. He never knew the rock wasn’t an egg, and he never cared that the chick wasn’t his by blood. All he knew was that something needed him—and he was ready. Even a grounded eagle can rise, not with wings, but with love.

.@mattmurphyshow You got anything planned for April 11? If not I have an idea🏁
Dale Earnhardt Jr.@DaleJr

I went to Nashville Fairgrounds yesterday to test @HoosierTire for the upcoming @CARSTour race there on April 11th. I had a lot of fun. I hadn't ran a lap there since middle of 1999. I raced there a dozen times in the mid 1990s when it was a hotbed for Late Model Stocks. You'd have 30 cars for a weekly 100 lap feature. It was amazing. Somehow the Late Model Stock footprint receded to western Tennessee over the years. Anyhow, the track is fast. There are some weeper issues and a massive bump off turn 2 but it wasn't nothing of real concern. We also got a chance to test mufflers. The noise ordinance makes them a requirement. Speaking of which, Marcus Smith wants to build a sophisticated sound barrier around the track once the local government can get on board. Another conversation for another time. It was emotional to make those laps yesterday. Like visiting an old friend and realizing they still were the same person you always admired. Cant wait to have our Pro and Late Model Stock cars there next month. We plan to be in town at Tootsies on Thursday evening to promote the tour and hopefully allow some folks to meet our drivers. It's gonna be a big weekend. Hope to see ya there. If ya cant, you can catch it live on @FloRacing

19 years ago, a high school basketball coach put his team manager into a game for the final four minutes. The kid had never played a single minute of competitive basketball in his life. He scored 20 points. Jason McElwain was diagnosed with severe autism at age two. He didn’t speak until he was five. He couldn’t chew solid food until he was six. He wore a nappy for most of his early childhood. As a baby, he was rigid, wouldn’t make eye contact, and hid in corners away from other children. He tried out for his school basketball team every year and got cut every time. Too small. Too slight. Barely 5’6 and about 54 kilograms. But he loved the game so much that his mum called the school and asked if there was any way he could be involved. The coach created a team manager role for him. For three years, McElwain showed up to every practice and every game. He wore a shirt and tie on match days. He ran drills, handed out water, kept stats, and cheered every basket like he’d scored it himself. On 15 February 2006, the last home game of his final school year, the coach let him suit up in a proper jersey and sit on the bench. With four minutes left and a comfortable lead, the coach sent him in. His first shot missed. His second missed. Then something shifted. He hit a three-pointer. Then another. Then another. His teammates stopped shooting entirely and just kept passing him the ball. He hit six three-pointers and a two-pointer. 20 points in four minutes. The highest scorer in the game. When the final buzzer went, the entire crowd rushed the court and lifted him onto their shoulders. His mum tapped the coach on the shoulder, in tears. “This is the nicest gift you could have ever given my son.” McElwain won the ESPY Award for Best Moment in Sports that year, beating out some of the biggest names in professional sport. He’s 36 now. He works at a local supermarket, coaches basketball, has run 17 marathons including five Boston Marathons, and travels the country speaking about never giving up. When asked about that night, his coach still gets emotional. “For him to come in and seize the moment like he did was certainly more than I ever expected. I was an emotional wreck.”

Another reason to o love the Duke👍👍
Farm Girl Carrie 👩‍🌾@FarmGirlCarrie

What a beautiful story about the legendary “Duke” John Wayne 🤠 John Wayne Stopped a Hollywood Set Cold - For a 13-Year-Old Boy Summer 1971. New Mexico. The set of The Cowboys bakes under a brutal desert sun. A 13-year-old local ranch boy — hired because he could actually ride — takes a hard fall from his horse. He scrapes his hands. Blood runs down his cheek. His hat is crushed in the dirt. Instead of asking if he's hurt, the first assistant director explodes. "You're done. Get off my set." Fifty crew members watch. No one speaks. Except one man. John Wayne rises from the shade of his trailer and walks across the dust. Anyone who worked with him knew that walk - slow, deliberate, boots heavy against the earth. He didn't rush toward trouble. Trouble waited for him. He stops three feet behind the assistant director. "You don't run this set, mister," Wayne says quietly. "I chose that boy." No shouting. No theatrics. Just authority. The assistant director says nothing. Wayne turns his back on him — the ultimate dismissal — and walks straight to the boy. And this is what the crew never forgot. The anger vanishes from Wayne's face. Instantly. He pulls the boy in close, tucks him under his arm — protective, fatherly — shielding him from every eye on that lot. "You took a hard fall, son," Wayne says. The boy nods. "You know what a real cowboy does when he falls off?" The boy looks up. "Gets back on, sir." Wayne smiles. "That's right." He picks up the crushed hat, dusts it off himself, Then he turns to the crew. "Reset!" That was it. No speech about respect. No lecture on decency. Just a quiet line drawn in the sand. The boy stayed. Finished the film. And decades later, he still kept something that belonged to John Wayne — not just a memory, but the moment a legend chose to stand beside him when no one else would. Because sometimes courage isn't in the script. It's in what you do when a kid is humiliated and fifty adults stay silent. That day, the Duke didn't just play a cowboy. He proved he was one. The End 🤠

I love Waffle House bc they are incredible at staying in their lane. They are perfect at what they do. They do not try to be something they are not. Went last night solo at 2am bc nothing else was open. Walk in. Nobody else in there. Waitress takes drink order. Brings it back 30 seconds later and takes meal order. Yells it to the cook immediately. Food out within 4 minutes. $12 for a chocolate chip waffle, 2 eggs, hashbrows, 3 pieces of bacon and 2 pieces of toast. In and out within 25-30 minutes. All day breakfast. Left satiated. Pleasant staff. Cheap. Open 24/7 including through most severe storms. Hard to compete.
