Looks like the kind of couple Mama would’ve watched while folding laundry. 😉 A pretty dress, a handsome husband, and a little something you won’t find in the average living room. You are a diehard if you know this one! Who knows this one?

Does anyone recognize this movie from the lobby scene? Movie was out in 2018, but set in 1969?

I keep thinking about her looking through that car window, hoping someone would notice. In August 2013, a 25-year-old woman abducted at gunpoint in Dallas caught the attention of two teenagers from the back seat of a car. She mouthed two words: “Help me.” Jamal Harris, 17, and Aaron Arias, 19, saw her. They called 911 and followed the car for miles, staying on the phone so officers could find her. Police reached the vehicle, arrested the driver, and freed the woman. As a mother, I think about what it would mean to learn that two young men had answered my daughter’s plea for help. How do you even begin to thank them? And I think about their mamas. I hope they know how much they have to be proud of. We hear plenty about young people when they do something wrong. Let’s make room for Jamal and Aaron, too. Their names deserve to be remembered.

Who knows this living room without a single hint? I watched this show during reruns and loved it. The original ran from 1959-1973.

We could be thirsty, bored, or missing a shoe. Unless we were bleeding, it could wait until the commercial. Who else grew up knowing the soap opera schedule better than the school schedule? 🤣 By the way, if your kids watch Ms. Rachel, you might want to dig a little deeper into her. 🤷🏼‍♀️

Yes, this is really the gumbo we made today in that beautiful bowl. However, the background is AI because my kitchen is a mess after cooking. 😂 It is so good! 🤤 What are you cooking today?

Here’s a little Louisiana lagniappe for you! ♥️ If you’re from Louisiana, asking somebody what parish they’re from comes as naturally as asking their name. But have you ever wondered why we don’t call them counties? ⚜️ There’s a little church history tucked into that answer. Long before Louisiana became a state, it was under French and then Spanish rule. Catholic churches helped shape the communities around them, and the districts those churches served were called parishes. Many of those church boundaries became the basis for civil divisions. The name stayed with us. In 1807, the territorial legislature established 19 civil parishes. When Louisiana became a state in 1812, we carried that part of our history right along with us. Today, we have 64 parishes, from the pine trees up north to the bayous and marshes down south. Each has its own stories, its own people, and somebody who will gladly tell you why theirs is the best. Growing up in Louisiana, “parish” was just a word we used. You don’t always stop to think about how much history can live inside something so familiar. But I love knowing that a piece of where we came from is still part of how we tell people where we belong. That’s Louisiana for you. Even our directions have roots. ⚜️ Photo credit: Louisiana Uncovered

If you’re a baseball fan, you might not recognize the face, but you would sure recognize the voice. Think you know? Give me a clue without giving away his name.

It’s just mashed potatoes… unless you know the movie. Can you name this 79’s classic?

Who does this belong to? Some of y’all knew before you even read the question. Looks like an ordinary old camper… unless you recognize it. Who knows?

V.P. J.D. VANCE SAID A LOT OF AMERICA’S PROBLEMS GET EASIER IF WE DEPORT PEOPLE WHO ARE HERE ILLEGALLY — ESPECIALLY THE CRIMINAL ONES. LOWER HOUSING PRICES. LOWER RENT. LOWER VIOLENT CRIME. We agree. Housing is a supply and demand issue. When people who never should have been in the housing market leave the demand drops. That should take pressure off home prices as well as the rents. It is not the only factor, but it is a real factor. We must never forget, ICE exists to enforce immigration law. Let them do the job. Let's start with people who have criminal records. If you did not enter this country legally, you should not get to stay. That is law enforcement, not cruelty.
VP Vance on the impact of deporting illegal aliens: "A lot of the problems that exist in American society would be solved...just by deporting illegal aliens. Lower housing prices, lower rent, lower violent crime."

Driving down one of the streets in our city and saw this guy. Yes, we do have bears, not just gators. Black bears to be exact. Don’t like that this guy is in one of the neighborhoods.

Fridays should come with puppies. Who do I speak to about making that official? 🐶😂 Before the world gets loud, here’s a little happy to get your weekend started. Tiny paws, wagging tails, and absolutely no idea what a workweek is. Happy Friday, y’all! ❤️

Just 16 here, with no idea how many of us would one day know his face. Decades later, he’d star in some of Hollywood’s most unforgettable films. Do you recognize him?

Look at all those people… and remember that God knows every single one by name. ❤️ This May, 2,552 people were baptized at Hanna Park in Jacksonville during The Church of Eleven22’s beach gathering. Thousands of loved ones stood along the shore to celebrate their public declaration of faith in Jesus Christ. Every person in that water has a story. Things we will never know. Prayers we will never hear. And there they stood, openly declaring who they belong to. The church shared that the last person baptized was one of the shuttle bus drivers. That little detail touched my heart. He came to bring people to the beach, and ended up stepping into the water himself. I wish we spent more time sharing moments like this. There is so much that weighs on our hearts, and sometimes we need to see a shoreline full of people choosing Jesus to remember how much hope we still have. Lord, watch over each one of them. When life gets hard again, help them remember this day and the love that brought them here. What a beautiful day to begin walking in new life. *Click for the song*
