🚨HERO: On April 22, 2018, James Shaw Jr. walked into a Waffle House in Antioch, Tennessee, expecting nothing more than breakfast. Minutes later, gunfire erupted inside the restaurant. Four people had already been killed, and the gunman was still holding an AR-15-style rifle. Most people ran. Shaw made a split-second decision. Unarmed, he charged the shooter, grabbed the rifle by its burning-hot barrel with his bare hands, and fought until he wrested the weapon away. His hands were severely burned, but he did not let go. The gunman fled. Shaw’s actions almost certainly prevented further loss of life. The country called him a hero. Shaw refused the title. He said he was simply trying to survive and protect the people around him. Instead of seeking attention, he launched a fundraiser that raised more than $200,000 for the victims’ families. He continued speaking about healing and supporting communities affected by violence. The headlines have long since faded. Many no longer remember the name. But courage like James Shaw Jr.’s should never be forgotten.

Our Premier team competed today vs the London Correctional Institute Falcons. It was a very competitive game and it was really fun to spend about an hour afterwards having conversations about Jesus and getting to know the inmates on a personal level.

Dr. Jesse McGuire was performing the national anthem on his trumpet when suddenly his instrument malfunctioned 😳 After one attempt to fix it, McGuire instead grabbed the mic and amazingly sang the rest of the anthem 🤩

🇺🇸 Meet H.S. footballer Wesly Lowery, who asked his friend since first grade, Nevaeh Hall, to homecoming. Nevaeh has Down syndrome, and Wesly is the team's quarterback... but they couldn't care less what anyone thinks about their uncommon coupling! This makes my heart happy and gives me a remaining shred of faith in humanity! ❤️ Writer: Jamie

“God’s on the throne. Football don’t define me… Even if I never win another game, God is still good.. My peace comes from knowing that God’s on the throne.” - Clemson HC Dabo Swinney when discussing if he allows himself to feel the eternal pressures

When Dave Bing was five years old, he was playing with a homemade hobby horse made out of two sticks. He tripped and drove a rusty nail into his left eye. There was no emergency surgery available to his family. The vision in that eye never fully came back. He went on to lead the National Basketball Association in scoring. His father Hasker was a bricklayer and a Baptist deacon. His mother Juanita cleaned houses. They lived in Washington, D.C., and his dad called him Duke because he wanted his son to be top dog. People told him he was too small for basketball. He was also, functionally, playing with one good eye. He went to Syracuse anyway, roomed with a kid named Jim Boeheim, and wore number 22 because that was Elgin Baylor's number and he had watched Baylor play as a boy. He averaged 28.4 points as a senior, fifth in the entire country, and became Syracuse's first consensus All-American in 39 years. Detroit took him second overall in 1966. He was Rookie of the Year. The next season he led the NBA in scoring at 27.1 points a game. Seven All-Star games. All-Star Game MVP in 1976. Two-time All-NBA First Team. The Pistons retired his number 21. The Hall of Fame took him in 1990 and the league put him on both the 50th and 75th anniversary teams. In 1971 he detached a retina and missed two and a half months. The eyes again. He played 12 seasons and averaged 20.3 points. Now here is the part that makes him different from every other Hall of Famer. When he retired, he did not open a car dealership or take a broadcasting job. He took a job in a steel processing warehouse for $35,000 a year. A Hall of Fame basketball player, on the floor of a warehouse, learning the steel business from the bottom because he intended to own one. He stayed two years. Then in 1980 he opened Bing Steel with four employees, $80,000 of his own money, and $250,000 in loans, in a rented warehouse in Detroit. In six months he lost all of it. Every dollar of the startup capital, gone. He did not quit. He pivoted the whole company from manufacturing into steel processing and distribution, got General Motors as his first major client, and in year two did $4.2 million in revenue. By 1984 President Reagan was handing him National Minority Small Business Person of the Year. By 1985 he had two plants, 63 employees and $40 million in revenue. It became the Bing Group, one of the largest Black-owned businesses in America. And then in 2009, at 65 years old, Dave Bing ran for Mayor of Detroit. He won. And he walked into one of the worst municipal financial situations in American history. A $332 million accumulated deficit. A city hemorrhaging people and money. He took no salary his first year. Here is the honest part, and it matters. It did not work. He cut a thousand positions, tore down 6,700 abandoned houses and fought the city council constantly, and in 2013 the state installed an emergency manager over him and Detroit filed the largest municipal bankruptcy in United States history. His approval rating fell to 14 percent. He did not run again. Some jobs cannot be won. But look at the whole life. A kid who lost the use of an eye to a rusty nail, who was told he was too small, led the NBA in scoring. Then went and swept a warehouse floor to learn an industry, lost everything in six months, and built a $40 million company anyway. Then he took the hardest job in America because it was his city. He started the Bing Youth Initiative in 2014 to mentor kids in Detroit. He is still at it. For more stories like this, follow us on any platform @thesportsontap

Two victories: she won the match, and she won hearts by turning her opponent’s sadness into a smile. This is what true sportsmanship looks like. ❤️✨

Married from 1983 until her passing in 2017. Della Reese and her husband Franklin Lett Jr. really defined what true, lifelong love looks like. Real goals. ❤️

The message at Grace Family Church this morning was given by Sean McDowell. He spoke on why we can trust the Bible to be the absolute truth as given by God. Amazingly I saw his father Josh McDowell give the same message when I was a senior at the U of Minnesota almost 50 years ago. More Than A Carpenter! It was life changing for me.

🚨JAY LENO can no longer take his wife Mavis to the restaurants they once loved due to her advanced dementia. Instead, he takes her on calm drives, where she watches the world pass by. “I enjoy taking care of her… she seems happy, and she seems contented.” 🥹💔

Deon Cole, Kevin Hart, Luenell, Dave Chappelle, and Tiffany Haddish showing up to wrap Sinbad in love. Real family comes together to uplift a legend when it matters most.

Michael Jordan and Dominique Wilkins playing streetball together 🔥🔥 Take me back when NBA players still loved the game… No fear of hurting their “brand”, no load managing, and no diva behavior. Make the NBA TOUGH again 👊 (@JordanMuse_ )

A police officer stopped a young man's car and, upon checking it, realized that his driving license had expired. The police officer asked him why he was driving with an expired license. He answered: «They just fired me from my night job, and the money I have is only enough for me to eat, pay rent, and my bills. I am from another state and I have come here to study at university. Plus, I have a job interview». The police officer had the option of applying the law and prohibiting the young man from driving his car, but he decided to listen to his heart. He parked his police vehicle, helped him tie his tie, got into the young man's car and accompanied him to the interview location. They entered together. The police officer apologized and explained the reason for the young man's delay. They hired him! The young man got the job and obtained a temporary driving license until he raised enough money to renew his license. That's humanity!

Clarence Sasser was a college kid from Texas, studying chemistry at the University of Houston, when the draft pulled him into the Army in 1967. They trained him as a combat medic and sent him to the Mekong Delta, the maze of rice paddies and canals in the far south of Vietnam. He was 20 years old, and what he lived through on January 10, 1968, is almost impossible to believe a person could survive, let alone keep working through. His company, about 115 men, air assaulted by helicopter into an open rice paddy and landed in a trap. Viet Cong opened up on them from three sides at once, and within the first few minutes 30 Americans were down. The men were pinned in the open, in the water and the mud, with no cover and wounded everywhere crying for a medic. So Doc Sasser got up and ran into it. He was hit in the leg almost immediately, and he kept going, splashing across the paddy from one wounded man to the next, dragging them to what little cover there was and patching them up under a storm of fire. A mortar round burst near him and drove hot shrapnel into his back. He refused to stop for his own wounds and kept moving to the next man. Then he was hit again, in both legs, and now he could not stand or walk at all. He still did not quit. For the next five hours, through the rest of that day and into the night, Clarence Sasser dragged his own shattered body through the mud and water of that rice paddy by his arms, pulling himself from one wounded soldier to another, treating them, calming them, keeping them alive. He could not walk, he was bleeding from multiple wounds, and he spent five hours crawling through a killing field so that other men would see the morning. When help finally came, he had kept alive men who would certainly have died without him, and he had never once treated his own wounds first. President Nixon gave Clarence Sasser the Medal of Honor in 1969, one of the first Black soldiers of the war to receive it. He came home, went back to school, worked in chemistry and later for the Veterans Administration, and lived a quiet Texas life for more than fifty years. He died in 2024 at the age of 76. A drafted college student who, with both legs torn up, crawled through a paddy for five hours because he was the Doc, and the Doc does not leave the wounded behind.

In 1988 Dolly Parton pulled every 7th and 8th grader in Sevier County into a room and told them to pick a buddy. She made them sign a contract.. if BOTH graduate, she hands you both $500. One fails, nobody gets paid. The county dropout rate went from 35% to 6%. She handed out the checks herself. In 1989 she offered $500 to every kid in the county who wanted to go to the local college. When Gatlinburg burned in 2016, she sent 900 families $1,000 a month for six months. You've probably heard that part. Here's the part you haven't: The fund raised more than expected, so she showed up in May and handed every one of those families another $5,000 on top. Then she quietly put $3 million into the recovery group that handles the years after the news trucks leave. She built her county an entire hospital. She played a benefit concert in 2007, Dollywood and the Stampede matched it, and LeConte Medical Center opened in 2010 with a birthing unit and a women's center in it. In 2022 she started covering 100% of tuition, books, and fees for Dollywood employees. Full-time, part-time, AND seasonal. In 1991 she paid for a bald eagle sanctuary because the birds couldn't be released back into the wild, no press release. And when Hurricane Helene came through here in Western North Carolina, she wrote a personal check for $1 million and her companies matched it. She didn't owe North Carolina anything, but she helped us anyway. She started the Imagination Library because her daddy couldn't read or write. Before he passed, he told her it was the most important thing she ever did. Rest in Peace, Dolly 🇺🇸

Let’s go!!

This is fun to watch.
