A retired school librarian, I'm loving living in the country, learning to be a Granma, and keeping up with NASCAR.

🚨 JUST IN: Greg Biffle and his family were aboard his jet when it crashed this morning in Statesville, NC, his close friend Garrett Mitchell confirmed
There were no survivors.
Biffle was an absolute HERO, and I personally worked with him in Western NC after Helene as he risked his own life using his personal helicopter to save COUNTLESS lives.
He delivered chainsaws, EpiPens, baby formula, fuel, and food to stranded families in inaccessible places surrounded by flood water, and asked for nothing from anybody.
This is a tremendous loss for our country. I’m so sick to my stomach over this.
Rest in peace, Greg, Cristina, Emma, and Ryder 🙏🏻

🚨 BREAKING: A private jet owned by NASCAR Driver and humanitarian Greg Biffle has reportedly crashed and exploded in Statesville, NC Unconfirmed reports from local media that Greg and his family were on board PLEASE pray that’s not the case. Biffle has touched so many lives🙏🏻 The Cessna Citation II had just taken off, a loud noise was heard by those on the ground, and the plane attempted to quickly land again. Heartbreaking.

My uncle is in his 80's and can't walk or talk very well. We're now faced with the difficult task of deciding which wing of the Senate to send him to.

My mom had the reveal of her commission piece, a tapestry, that she’s been working on for several months. She also put out some of the inspiration and work in progress. Thank you to friends and family that came out to see this beautiful piece.

@ChrisCillizza @jamiedupree covers Georgia and several other states as well as Congress. A fine person and reporter. Tries really hard to be objective.

This Fourth of July we remember that there are 8 American citizens currently being held hostage by Hamas.
None of us are free, until all of them are free.

Someone told me chemo is like being hung over with the flu, but worse. Sometimes it’s almost like you are normal, except you can’t remember normal. /1

In Acts 22, Paul relates that after his conversion he was “led by the hand” due to the temporary blindness his encounter brought about. Someone may need your hand today in their first steps with Jesus.

Whatever the Lord’s will for each of us in 2024 who follow Jesus, it will exceed our natural strengths, skills, talents, levels of experience, areas of expertise, intellectual acumen and worldly wisdom. The beautiful way Jesus set this faith thing up is that we can’t serve Jesus without Jesus. I pray this for all of us in 2024: more of Jesus.

“Who of us would want to celebrate Christmas correctly? Who will finally lay at the manger all power, all honor, all reputation, all vanity, all pride, and all selfishness? Who is content to be lowly and to let God alone be high?”
