An Iowa man wins the lottery‚ then gets to his car and realizes he no longer has the ticket. Where could it be? In a plot twist that could only be divinely scripted‚ an Iowa pastor’s journey to winning the lottery took an unexpected detour that left us questioning how he could have left this winning lottery ticket behind! RELATED: Preschool Teacher Laid Off After 20 Years Buys Lottery Ticket And Hits His Knees At Gas Station The Lottery Winner in Iowa Won $500‚000 Meet Kevin Frey‚ a 64-year-old pastor whose recent escapade with Lady Luck had more twists and turns than a Sunday sermon. Picture this: Kevin‚ usually the epitome of calm and collected‚ was positively beside himself after discovering he had won a staggering $500‚000 from a scratch game. “I was so excited and flustered that I left the ticket inside of the Casey’s store and went out to the car and started calling everybody‚” Kevin confessed. We know God provides for all our needs‚ and we rely on him‚ especially when things are tight‚ but we are all left scratching our heads‚ wondering how Kevin could forget the ticket. His Excitement Caused Him to Forget Apparently‚ in his jubilation‚ Kevin did leave the store without the ticket. Like Jonah‚ who was unexpectedly swallowed by a giant fish‚ Kevin’s forgetfulness left him equally dumbfounded. Kevin’s excitement over his lottery win seemed to momentarily cloud his judgment‚ causing him to leave behind his ticket. Kevin dashed back into the store‚ fervently praying for divine intervention. And lo and behold‚ lottery luck continued to be on the pastor's side as the clerk handed over the ticket with a sheepish grin‚ just glad to be part of the divine comedy unfolding before her.

So‚ we finally got it on the right page‚” Kevin shared‚ his relief palpable enough to rival the joy of discovering an extra piece of pie at the church potluck. As Kevin joyously claimed his prize and dreamt of future plans to retire near family in Des Moines‚ he couldn’t help but chuckle at the absurdity of it all. At that moment‚ the lottery winner in Iowa realized that sometimes‚ God’s blessings come in the most unexpected-and uproariously funny-ways. And if anyone asked‚ he was adding a dash of excitement to his Sunday sermon. After all‚ who needs a sermon illustration when you’ve got a winning lottery ticket left behind at the store? “And my God will meet all your needs according to the riches of his glory in Christ Jesus‚" Philippians 4:19.

The U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) has expanded a program that tests international travelers for COVID-19 and other illnesses. The public health agency’s program requests arriving international travelers to volunteer for a nasal swab and answer questions about their travel. On Tuesday‚ the CDC announced the program would include two new airports – Miami and Chicago’s O’Hare. Some Miami airport travelers will be asked to swab. What to know about the health check https://t.co/Xpoq524cqj — Miami Herald (@MiamiHerald) March 13‚ 2024 From the Miami Herald: Voluntary nose-swabbing began Tuesday at Miami International Airport as part of the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention’s traveler-based genomic surveillance program. Seven other major airports have the program‚ including in New York‚ Boston and Los Angeles. Nose-swabbing is also coming to Chicago O’Hare International Airport. Sticking a swab up your nose at MIA will be voluntary‚ anonymous and free‚ according to the CDC. People who participate will also answer a short survey that includes demographic and travel-related questions‚ including age‚ information on travel destinations‚ and the reason for traveling. You must be at least 18 for the swabbing and survey. And yes‚ there is a prize. Travelers will see signs‚ a table and staff promoting the testing as they are exiting Customs in Terminal D. The CDC says the swab and survey will take about two to five minutes to complete. At the moment‚ the CDC will be testing MIA travelers for COVID‚ but will eventually expand the testing to include flu and RSV. “Miami and Chicago enable us to collect samples coming from areas of the world where global surveillance is not as strong as it used to be‚” said the CDC’s Allison Taylor Walker‚ according to the Associated Press.  “What we really need is a good view of what’s happening in the world so we’re prepared for the next thing‚” she added. CDC officials said the nasal swabs are to learn more about “respiratory infections” from Asia‚ Africa‚ and South America. And the nasal swabbing psyop continues! The CDC is expanding a program in airports across the country to test incoming travelers to the US for COVID-19https://t.co/8RpG8ZIwVs — Dr Sherri Tenpenny (@BusyDrT) March 14‚ 2024 The Associated Press reports: The program began in 2021‚ and has been credited with detecting coronavirus variants faster than other systems. The genomic testing of traveler’s nasal swabs has mainly been focused on COVID-19‚ but testing also is being done for two other respiratory viruses — flu and RSV. Participants are not notified of their results. But they are given a COVID-19 home test kit to take with them‚ CDC officials say. Samples have come from more than 475‚000 air travelers coming off flights from more than 135 countries‚ officials said. Health officials also have been sampling wastewater that comes off international flights at a few airports. That testing is for COVID-19‚ but CDC officials are evaluating the possibility of monitoring wastewater for other things‚ Walker said. The CDC program has a current budget of about $37 million. The agency pays two companies‚ Ginkgo Bioworks and XWell‚ to do sample collection and testing. The companies are working with CDC to grow the program to check for more than 30 different disease-causing germs.

Well folks‚ the Ruling is in from Judge McAfee and it’s stunningly bad. That’s not just my opinion‚ that’s just about every legal expert I’ve seen this morning reacting to it. I know this case can be a bit confusing with all it’s twists and turns so let me try and give you a quick summary of where we’re at‚ how we got here‚ and then I’ll explain Judge McAfee’s completely ineffective “split the baby” Ruling from this morning. So it all starts with DA Fani Willis who campaigned on a platform that she would “get Trump”. She gets elected and brings a 41-count indictment against Trump. Recently‚ 6 of those counts have been dismissed by the Judge. Here’s a nice summary from my friends over at The Gateway Pundit: A Fulton County grand jury returned a 41-count indictment which included RICO and conspiracy charges against Trump. On Wednesday Judge McAfee quashed 6 counts in Fani Willis’ indictment – including 3 counts against President Trump. According to the ruling: Count Two alleges that multiple Defendants solicited elected members of the Georgia Senate to violate their oaths of office on December 3‚ 2020‚ by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors; Count Five alleges that Defendant Trump solicited the Speaker of the Georgia House of Representatives to violate his oath of office on December 7‚ 2020‚ by requesting or importuning him to call a special session to unlawfully appoint presidential electors; Count Six alleges that Defendants Smith and Giuliani solicited members of the Georgia House of Representatives to violate their oaths of office on December 10‚ 2020‚ by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors; Count 23 alleges that multiple Defendantssolicited elected members of the Georgia Senate to violate their oaths of office on December 30‚ 2020‚ by requesting or importuning them to unlawfully appoint presidential electors; Count 28 alleges that Defendants Trump and Meadows solicited the Georgia Secretary of State to violate his oath of office on January 2‚ 2021‚ by requesting or importuning him to unlawfully influence the certified election returns; and Count 38 alleges that Defendant Trump solicited the Georgia Secretary of State to violate his oath of office on September 17‚ 2021‚ by requesting or importuning him to unlawfully decertify the election. In the midst of all of that‚ a “case within a case” developed where the investigation was turned on Fani herself for “improper conduct” (putting it mildly) including but not limited to hiring her boyfriend to work the case‚ overpaying him by a large amount‚ not disclosing any of this‚ and then lying about it after the fact. We had a mini trial on those issues and the Ruling from the Judge out this morning is the resolution of that mini case. So you essentially have Fani and her boyfriend Nathan Wade doing all the things I described above and most legal experts seem to agree that was proven beyond any reasonable doubt in the case. You would expect‚ then‚ that the Judge would issue a Ruling against both of them‚ and yet he didn’t do that. No‚ he basically said one of them must go. Say WHAT now? So he basically finds that bad stuff did indeed happen‚ but only one of them will pay a price — and they even get to pick which one it will be! This is an insanely stupid ruling‚ and that’s not just my opinion that’s the opinion of just about every legal expert I’ve seen today. I love how Jonathan Turley put it on Fox News:  “It’s like finding two people in a bank vault and taking only ONE off to jail.” Exactly. Jonathan Turley reacts to Judge McAfee’s ruling that Fani either recuse herself or remove lover Nathan Wade from the case: “It’s like finding two people in a bank vault and taking one off to jail.” “They both testified in the same way.

They all seem to think it was clear beyond any reasonable doubt that Fani committed perjury. So why does she get to keep her job….or even her law license? Isn’t lying to the Court under oath as an officer of the court one of the most basic grounds for having your law license revoked? Glenn and I both think so: For Fani Willis to KEEP HER JOB on the Trump case‚ or even keep her law license after GPS data clearly showed she lied is INSANE. I have never seen a clearer case of perjury. There is no rule of law if attorneys can get away with that. pic.twitter.com/C3xmPDGgiM — Glenn Beck (@glennbeck) March 15‚ 2024 Then we go to Alan Dershowitz who says the evidence is “overwhelming” to not only remove Fani from this case but “criminally prosecute” her! Alan Dershowitz stated the evidence is overwhelming to criminally prosecute Fani Willis: • They had an affair before she hired him (perjury)• She benefited financially (embezzlement)• He was not qualified to do the job earning $700‚000 “This ought to be a criminal… pic.twitter.com/3A91vWq25l — Tony Seruga (@TonySeruga) March 15‚ 2024 So is this Judge just not that bright? Compromised? Being blackmailed? Bribed? A willing participant in the “Get Trump” effort? Or something else? I can’t figure it out‚ but I know that his ruling makes zero sense to me. How about you?
