3 Up
1. Missouri Overturns Conviction - These stories and cases always strike a chord with me. Spending more than thirty years in prison for a crime you did not commit carries sooooo many layers of human grace. Especially once you add that he evaded execution in 2017. Ugh...
But of course, there is the prison that refuses to release him.
2. Biden Steps Down - I noted some thoughts earlier this week on this. No political agenda here - I actually wish both Biden and Trump stepped down. The country needs new faces and new leadership. I don't think it fixes the current divide, but it surely doesn't solve it via Biden or Trump.
3. NBA on NBC - It was a small commercial for USA Basketball with the old "Round Ball Rock" theme playing against it. Suddenly my childhood came back. But really, the NBA on NBC just hits differently. Looking forward to those Sunday tripleheaders again.
3 Down
1. Drug Dealers Captured - U.S. Federal Agents have captured one of the world's most powerful drug lords, Ismael "El Mayo" Zambada - known for the distribution of fentanyl in the nation. Pretty big deal.
2. Venezuela Election - Here in America, we throw around fake election conspiracies and other ridiculousness, but in Venezuela, they are actually living it. The country is a mess and in chaos due to the political climate and the recent "election".
3. Sudan Famine - The world continues to suffer...it lately feels as if its the end of days. PRayers for those in Sudan suffering from starvation, and the inability to receive aid due to military and political influence.
