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.

Homelessness is a multifaceted problem. If you don't like it, you address all aspects of why someone is on the street. You don't just scoop up a u.s. citizen and throw them in a prefab. They will 100% walk out. They need mental health services, crisis drug rehab, other medical services, occupational services. "money, resources, facility" =/ compassion. =/ results. If this individual is put in charge of a homeless/hopeless program, you just as soon buy stock in $GEO. He's not interesting in rehabilitation.

NEW: Spencer Pratt fires back at reporter after he was asked about his plan for the homeless, says they will all end up in Seattle. Reporter: "What are your plans for the over 40,000 homeless in Los Angeles?" Pratt: "Well, they're not homeless, they're drug addicts... These people have been bused in by scam rehabs, scam NGOs, scam homeless nonprofits." "These people, when I unplug them ... they're all going to Seattle, where the mayor will welcome them."

@CollinRugg Most homeless are drug addicts, alcoholics or have severe mental health issues; everyone has known that for decades. The failure to accept that fact and construct a system to deal with it is because no-one wants to appear mean-spirited. It's a perfect example of suicidal empathy

This is pissing me the fuck off. As someone who manages gyms for the past 20 years in LA, let me clear something up about the “homeless” problem in LA- since this POS wants to generalize: There are layers to the homeless problem in LA not everyone homeless is on fucking drugs. Not everyone homeless does not like rules. Not everyone who is homeless is some person trying to abuse animals. Do some actual fucking research on the problem and you will see it is a very layered conversation. There are some who are on the streets because of drugs and alcohol abuse. There are other others on the streets because of life situations that caused them to be on the streets. For example, this guy I interviewed when I was working on a documentary about the homeless problem who talked about how his mother didn’t have anyone but him and he had to drop out of school to help her only to become an adult with no education and no job opportunities and since she didn’t have anything to leave him when she died, he ended up on the fucking streets, not because of drugs not because of he’s trying to do something against the system, but because of life situations. Then you have another layer of homelessness people who have cars a lot of people who have cars choose to live in their cars because of the cost of living in this overpriced city. They’re not on drugs. They’re not breaking the law. They just don’t wanna pay this expensive rent so they live in their car. They join gyms so they can have a place to come in and shower and change their clothes. And as a veteran myself, it pisses me off to hear people talk about the homeless like this when people sit up on their asses passing veterans on the side of the road every single fucking day and do nothing about it, but wanna sit around and talk about how much they love the soldiers. 🙄 fuck off. He’s a clown and has no business in charge of anything. He needs to return to the irrelevancy of his entertainment career. Sincerely, An Army Combat Vet ✌🏽

I just had a very disturbing Good Friday encounter with an ICE agent at the airport As I was going through security, an ICE agent asked me for my ID. I told him this isn’t Soviet Russia and that the only citizenship papers I planned to show him were the Declaration of Independence “Sir, I’m just asking for ID, not proof of citizenship,” he said. “Today is the anniversary of Jesus’s resurrection,” I replied. “He was an American. Would you have asked to see his papers too? Would the scars on his hands not have been enough for you?” He was stunned silent. I strode past him without showing my ID and went through the metal detector I received a standing ovation

The Head of DHS was banging a man, not her husband, on private planes bought with our money and giving her friends million dollar contracts for nothing while her husband is wearing prosthetic breasts/balloons and doing "duck face" with sex workers..... Either MAGA is one big "gay party" or she was in her position so that people could control her with this blackmail.

@KG27766 @JesseBWatters What about the fact that Israel and the United States have tried to get the Palestinians to make a deal for many many years and they never will. Their goal as proven with the past wars and the October 7 massacre of the Jews is to annihilate the Jews…that’s it!

"And then imagine that he has a neighbor who's a SOMALI REFUGEE who arrived two years ago and has a Mercedes and NO financial stress and no worries at all in the entire world and never seems to ever go to work at all because he just went to an office in the state, lied on a piece of paper, and got unlimited free money forever for life!"

@Scaramucci Whether it’s a missile attack or a laundry room fire, the fact that a sitting president is publicly contradicting his own Pentagon in the middle of an active war is dangerous.

Trump just said Iran hit the USS Gerald R. Ford “from 17 angles” and the crew “had to run to save our lives.” His own Pentagon says it was a laundry room fire. A sitting president publicly contradicting his own DoD during an active war is extraordinary — regardless of which version is true.
