#OTD in 1775 the American Revolutionary War began. While often overlooked in the traditional narrative of the 13 Colonies, Florida played an important role in the War for Independence. Sometimes referred to as the “14th colony,” because of its strategic location along the Gulf, many countries including the United States, France, and Spain were interested in taking possession of Florida.

@Adam_FaithfulM The final 24 hours of Jesus

In 1986, the American Medical Association published an article titled "The Physical Death of Jesus Christ". It details the entire process of Jesus' trial to His death on the cross. In Luke 22, before Jesus is arrested, it is written that He was in great distress & sweating blood. Although rare, it is recognized as Hematidrosis, a condition caused by high levels of stress. At the time, the crucifixion was considered the worst death for the worst of criminals. But this is not all Jesus faced. He endured whipping so severe that it tore the flesh from His body. He was beaten so horribly that His face was torn & His beard ripped. A crown of thorns, 2-3 inches long cut deeply into His scalp. The leather whip used to flog Him had tiny iron balls & sharp bones. The balls caused internal injuries while the sharp bones ripped open His flesh. His skeletal muscles, veins, & bowels are exposed, causing major blood loss. Most men do not survive this kind of torture. After Jesus was severely flogged, He was forced to carry His cross while people mocked & spat on Him. Crucifixion was a process meant to instill excruciating pain, creating a slow & agonizing death. Nails as long as 8 inches were driven into Jesus' wrists & feet. The Roman soldiers knew the tendons in the wrists would tear & break, forcing Jesus to use His back muscles to support Himself to breathe. Imagine the struggle, the pain, the courage...Jesus endured this reality for 3 hours! The Gospel of John writes that after Jesus' death, a Roman soldier pierced His side with a spear & blood & water came out. Scientists explain that from hypovolemic shock, the rapid heart rate causes fluid to gather in the sack around the lungs & heart. The accumulation of fluid in the membrane around the heart is called a Pericardial effusion & the lungs is called a pleural effusion. To the world, Christianity is as foolish as it can get. They believe it's for the weak. But when you are confronted by the reality of the cross, it's clearly not a pretty sight. It is brutal & horrific. This is the weight Jesus carried. The weight of the sins of the world, all so that we can live. God's wrath is fully satisfied in Jesus. This is what it took. Repent & believe! Jesus is “God among us” in the flesh. Jesus is our Savior. Jesus loves you so much that He went through this spiritual and physical punishment for your sins and mine. Jesus is the LORD, Almighty God, Everlasting Father. Thank You, Jesus.

Florida Caverns State Park is Florida’s only state park with publicly accessible, air-filled limestone caves. Built by the Civilian Conservation Corps (CCC) in the late 1930s and opened in 1942, the park showcases stunning stalactites, stalagmites, and cave wildlife while standing as a lasting example of New Deal conservation efforts. Today, visitors can explore this underground landmark and its history as part of Florida’s America 250 Road Trip. Click the link to plan your visit and learn more: america250fl.com/roadtrip/ @MyFDOT

I was proud to sign HB 249 to designate Florida’s new state flagship, the S.S. American Victory. This historic steamship is one of just a few surviving Victory Class ships built during World War II. The S.S. American Victory was deployed in WWII, Korea, and Vietnam, and has been in Tampa since 1999. Today, visitors can explore the interior of the S.S. American Victory and honor the memory of those who served our country. As we commemorate the 250th anniversary of our nation’s founding this year, it’s a great time to visit our state flagship @amervictory in Tampa.

The moment everything changed. “Father, into Your hands I commit my spirit.” The cross wasn't the end… it was the beginning of everything. Grateful beyond words this Good Friday. 🙏

The Expedition 74 astronauts aboard the International Space Station express their gratitude to the teams supporting the @NASAArtemis II crew and its mission to fly around the Moon.

@gaghyogi49 This might betray my age but I remember that episode when it first aired on broadcast TV and we received the signal through the rabbit ears antenna on top of the TV set. Fond memories!

We watched the 70s episode ("Fade in to Murder") of Columbo featuring William Shatner as Ward Fowler last night and I had heard before that a pencil drawing of James T. Kirk is seen in Fowler's mansion. So here he is, Captain Kirk on Columbo in all the shots where the drawing is seen. :-)
