Hollywood actor Dennis Quaid sings a mesmerizing cover of the beloved hymn, ‘I’ll Fly Away.’ No one is destined to remain on Earth forever. Everyone's time on this planet is limited. Sin was unleashed on the world with a bite of the fruit back in the Garden of Eden, and now all will face death at one time or another. It's a sad and ironic part of life. RELATED: Dennis Quaid Sings ‘Amazing Grace' and His Soulful Rendition Is Too Good to Miss The death of one's physical body is most certainly not the end. After one's time on Earth has expired, there are two destinations available, and we have a decision to make as to which place we go. Heaven has been set aside for those who have confessed their sins, accepted Christ into their hearts and lives, and turned away from their old ways, becoming new creatures in Christ. Dennis Quaid Sings ‘I’ll Fly Away’ While death is and likely always will be one of people's greatest fears, it doesn't have to be that way. There is much uncertainty surrounding death. However, as actor Dennis Quaid sings in a clip posted on YouTube, that does not have to be the case.

Oscar-winning actor Richard Dreyfuss was on-hand for a special screening of his 1975 movie “Jaws” at the Cabot Theater in Beverly, Massachusetts — but when he appeared onstage to participate in a Q & A session with the audience, things apparently went sideways. Dreyfuss, according to audience members and video circulating on social media, made his grand entrance wearing a dress over his clothes, shuffling and shaking his hips to Taylor Swift’s “Love Story.” After a minute, two staffers rushed onto the stage and helped him to remove the dress — but he continued to play up the dance moves until he had replaced the dress with a blazer. According to several reports, Dreyfuss then made a series of “misogynistic” and “transphobic” comments, allegedly complaining about the #MeToo movement and taking a swing at singer Barbra Streisand, suggesting that women “shouldn’t have that much power.” He went on to criticize the transgender movement, saying that parents who allowed their children to self-determine their genders were not good parents. Attendee Diane Wolfe told The Boston Globe that Dreyfuss said “the parents of trans youth, allowing them to transition, was bad parenting and that someday those kids might change their minds.” Richard Dreyfuss generates scandal by saying something sensible and correct that all sane people know to be true but that everyone has been propagandized into regarding as wrongthink https://t.co/ju5zauEEhM — Wesley Yang (@wesyang) May 28, 2024 At the end of the session, Dreyfuss referenced the book he published last year on the lack of civics education in schools. “It’s about the fact that 50 years ago, without telling anybody, they took civics out of the curriculum of all public schools in America, which means we have no knowledge of who the hell we are,” Dreyfuss said. “And if we don’t get it back soon, we’re all going to die. Make sure your kids are not the last generation of Americans. And you know exactly what I’m talking about.” CLICK HERE TO GET THE DAILYWIRE+ APP WATCH:   Cabot executive director J.

The University of Nevada, Las Vegas hosted five “affinity” graduation events earlier this month, Campus Reform reported, including celebrations for Asian and Pacific American, “Latinx,” Native American, African American, and LGBT students. “Please join us for our Affinity Graduations sponsored by Student Diversity Programs; which include APMIE, Latinx, Lavender, and Native Convocation,” the school wrote, adding that participating students would “be provided a stole to wear at commencement as a part of the ceremony.” The university system’s Reno campus offered similar graduation celebrations, Campus Reform reported. “By recognizing and honoring different cultural traditions and themes, the celebrations create spaces where students can feel proud of their heritage and share it with others. These celebrations help foster a sense of belonging and inclusivity for students of diverse backgrounds,” student supervisor Emily Thao-Singh in a campus statement. The affinity celebrations were scheduled to take place ahead of the university’s official spring commencement ceremonies. In April, “Dirty Jobs” Host Mike Rowe blasted Harvard University’s use of affinity celebrations, asking, “What better way to celebrate Harvard’s rich commitment to diversity, [than] by encouraging diverse groups to celebrate separately?” “These [affinity] celebrations allow students to separate themselves from each other based on their racial and ethnic identities, and then, celebrate graduation with their own kind,” Rowe wrote on Facebook. “I’m old enough to remember when this was called ‘segregation,’” he added. “At Harvard, they call it ‘affinity.’ To be fair, Harvard’s website says these celebrations are not in lieu of the official graduation, and open to all students who pre-register. But the celebrations themselves are clearly labeled, and the invitees are hard to misconstrue.” Other schools have offered similar ceremonies for years. In 2021, The Daily Wire reported that Columbia University would host six separate graduation ceremonies segregated by student race, sex, and income. Days later, Columbia clarified that the segregated events were not graduation ceremonies, but celebrations. The College Fix reported at the time that in response to the backlash the university received for the segregated “Multicultural Graduation Ceremonies,” the school’s website was quietly changed to call them “Multicultural Graduation Celebrations.” The Fix reported in its original article on the ceremonies that they were in addition to the graduation ceremonies for the entire “Ivy League university and its individual schools.” “In most instances, these smaller, multicultural gatherings evolved from ceremonies originally created by alumni and students,” a school spokesperson told the outlet in an email. “The gatherings are voluntary, open to every student who wants to participate, and have become a highly anticipated and meaningful part of the Columbia graduation experience.”
