Note to self: if ever pursued by Somali pirates deploy 1 gallon milk jug.

Mrs. Mahalia Doyle was born in 1855 on Roan Mountain, Tennessee. Census wrote it Mahala in 1860, Haley in 1880. To the hollows she was Aunt Hal. She married Thomas Doyle at 17 in 1872. Between 1873 and 1895 she buried 13 children. Scarlet fever, flux, crib death. The last, Mary, lived 11 days. Aunt Hal stopped naming them after number 6. The graves are 13 river rocks behind the spring. In October 1918, flu took the hollows. Parents died in 2 days. Babies lived. Men brought them to Aunt Hal’s porch. By October 30, 1918, she had 17. Ages 2 days to 3 years. No milk. No help. She was 63. She milked the neighbor’s goat. She boiled snow. She tied babies in baskets so they wouldn’t roll off. She sang. She didn’t sleep 9 days. The doctor, Mr. Edward Finch, came on day 10. He said, “All alive, Aunt Hal?” She said, “All but me.” She lived. All 17 lived. Families came for them by Christmas. She kept no records. The preacher wrote 17 names in the church book: “Saved by Aunt Hal.” She died in 1942 at 87. At her funeral were 17 adults. One was governor. He said, “Mrs. Mahalia Doyle was 63 when she mothered us. She buried 13 of her own. She kept 17 of ours.” Her porch is gone. The spring still runs. Comment below: At 63, after 13 graves, would you take 17.

Federal agents searched Rep. Ilhan Omar's home under a judge-authorized warrant. No charges filed, and she denies wrongdoing. On @Newsmax 2's First Edition I asked why someone who lived the American dream can't be grateful for it.

Good morning all! Happy Monday!

Surrender becomes real when God's will crosses ours. In Luke 22, Jesus submitted to the Father's will in the shadow of the cross. Biblical surrender is not vague religious language. It is choosing God's way when obedience is costly. Father, I place my plans, preferences, and fears before You. Correct what is selfish, close what is harmful, and strengthen me to obey what You reveal. Let my desire for Your will become greater than my demand for comfort. In Jesus Christ's name, amen. Where is God's will currently confronting your preferred outcome?
