Let us rise up and be thankful, for if we didn’t learn a lot today, at least we learned a little, and if we didn’t learn a little, at least we didn’t get sick, and if we got sick, at least we didn’t die, so, let us all be thankful.

THE BEST RIDE OF HER LIFE
An Atlanta Uber driver achieved her dream of graduating from college after one of her passengers paid off her student debt.
On the day of the serendipitous rideshare pickup, LaTonya Young was working as a hairstylist "by day" and an Uber driver "by night."
The 43-year old single mom was driving a stranger to Mercedes-Benz Stadium for an Atlanta United game when she started sharing her life story.
She told him she dropped out of college at age 16 after giving birth to her first child. She had recently dropped out of Georgia State University because of an unpaid $700 balance.
"Every time I got ready to pay the money, my kids needed something. I said, 'OK. I'll just wait,'" she said.
A few days after that rideshare, Georgia State called Young.
"The message stated, 'You can register for classes now.' I was literally blown away. A stranger has never done that, or done anything like that, for me," she said.
That stranger, the Uber passager, was Kevin Esch.
Young said his act of kindness inspired her to maintain her grades. A few weeks ago, she earned her associate's degree in criminal justice, and Esch attended the graduation.
This month, she'll be back in class to pursue a bachelor's. SHARE- WATCH VIDEO

PRAYING FOR A SECOND CHANCE
I said to this poor young woman that she needed to lose weight and I know I hurt her feelings bad. She's a special person with a great heart for God. My mom told her that she wants me to marry a good Christian woman and I guess my mother has been trying to play match maker with her and I. If it's God's will for me and this girl J to be together let Him make it happen in His time. I also need to apologize to her for the way I spoke to her
because I know she is very hurt by my mean words to her. I wish she would talk to me but I don't know what to do. Please pray.
