Janus Gryffin 450 Janus Motorcycles has announced its latest model‚ the scrambler-styled Gryffin 450. The Janus Gryffin 450 has classic ’50s and ’60s style and hand-crafted components‚ and each one is made-to-order with the owner’s input and preferences.  Janus Motorcycles is based in Goshen‚ Indiana‚ and the company’s website states that it makes “simple‚ beautiful machines that are a joy to own and ride.” The Gryffin 450 joins three other models in the Janus lineup: the Halcyon 450‚ Halcyon 250‚ and Gryffin 250. It will use the same enduro-inspired air-/oil-cooled 445cc Single as the Halcyon 450‚ with a claimed 30 hp. The scrambler version will ride on 21-inch front and 17-inch rear wheels and will feature a high exhaust‚ other adventure-oriented details‚ and a low weight of a claimed 330 lb.  Janus Gryffin 450 “The Gryffin 450 is a close sibling to our Halcyon 450‚ but with some key changes that really make it excel off-pavement‚” said Charlie Handsen-Reed‚ senior design engineer for Janus Motorcycles. “The longer suspension travel‚ wheel size‚ lower seat height‚ and larger fuel tank will be really welcomed by our off-road riders‚ and trimming another 30 lb off our already feather-weight 450 chassis will be a huge bonus for trailering‚ van-lifers‚ and for any adventuresome rider’s peace of mind and confidence.”  Part of the experience of owning a Janus is the customization offered from the made-to-order process. Like other Janus models‚ the Gryffin 450 will be available in a wide range of color options‚ pinstripe options‚ and other accessories. It will feature motocross footpegs‚ a headlight cage‚ pannier racks‚ highway bars‚ a skid plate‚ and a pillion seat.  Janus Gryffin 450 Other components included on the Gryffin 450 will be hand-formed and beaded fenders‚ a hand-formed and welded stainless-steel exhaust‚ hand-welded chassis and fork‚ Brembo brakes‚ and hand-painted graphics and pinstripes.  Janus Motorcycles will begin taking reservations for the Gryffin 450 starting Feb. 23‚ 2024‚ and all orders placed in the first 30 days will be First Edition models with serial-numbered plates‚ limited-edition race plates‚ engraved components‚ and commemorative packages.  Those interested in the manufacturing process of Janus motorcycles can check out the Janus YouTube channel‚ where the company documents their design and build process.  MSRP for the Janus Gryffin 450 will be $13‚495‚ and the fee to place a reservation is $2‚995.

Clair Rachel Howell received a 500 dollar tip after the waitress shared her dreams with one of her tables. And the surprise blessing truly touched her heart! In the hustle and bustle of a quaint diner‚ dreams often linger in the background‚ waiting for the right moment to take center stage. Such was the case for Clair Rachel Howell‚ a waitress with a passion for the performing arts. RELATED: Something Comes Over Man So He Picks Up The Tab For Whole Restaurant And Tips Servers $500 Little did she know that a seemingly ordinary day at the diner would turn into a life-changing act orchestrated by an unexpected ensemble of kindness. As Clair went about her duties‚ serving tables with a smile and a spring in her step‚ one particular customer caught her attention. Engaging in casual banter‚ Clair discovered the customer’s shared love for the theater. The conversation flowed like a well-rehearsed script‚ with nods to classic plays and tales of the enchanting world of Broadway. It was during this exchange that Clair revealed her secret desire-to witness the magic of the Broadway production of ‘Merrily We Roll Along.' Unfortunately‚ living on a server's salary made the dream of watching the play out of the question. The tickets were financially out of reach for Cair. The customer‚ sensing the sincerity in Clair’s desire‚ decided to play the role of a benevolent benefactor as he paid for his bill and then left a generous tip. 500 Dollar Tip Comes As A Shock When Clair picked up the envelope that held the bill and payment‚ it seemed to hold the promise of something extraordinary. As she opened it‚ she discovered not just a generous tip but a golden ticket to her dream. A 500 dollar tip‚ on a 200 hundred dollar meal akin to a standing ovation‚ accompanied by a note that read‚ “Go see Merrily. Sit in the Orchestra.” What an incredible blessing through an act of kindness and generosity! Clair’s eyes widened with disbelief‚ and her heart performed a joyful pirouette. The generous tip was not merely a gratuity for good service; it was a spotlight on her dreams. The unexpected windfall became her ticket to the grand spectacle she had longed to witness. At that moment‚ the diner transformed into a stage‚ and Clair‚ the protagonist of her own story‚ was ready for her Broadway debut. RELATED: Customer Wants To Bless Struggling Mom And The Waitress Gets 10‚000 Dollar Tip As A Result She then took to Instagram to share the unexpected gift. She wrote about how a wonderful moment happened in New York. Then she explained how she usually asks her customers what production they were planning to see since the diner is located in the theatre district. She then wrote about a stranger's generosity‚ "The table left to make their showtime and I picked up their check and did about seven double takes. Even writing this now I’m still speechless." She added‚ "Thank you to the gentleman who gave me this insane and unexpected gift. I hope you come in again so I can thank you in person. Magic is still alive in NYC and so is love and kindness and good‚ good people." A Lasting Impact As she graciously thanked the customer on her Instagram‚ she couldn’t help but feel the weight of their kindness-the kind of kindness that doesn’t just change a day but rewrites the entire script of someone’s life. Inspired by this unexpected act‚ Clair embarked on a journey to see ‘Merrily We Roll Along‚' not just as a spectator but as a testament to the extraordinary power of kindness in turning dreams into reality. The 500 dollar tip‚ like a well-timed cue‚ set the stage for Clair’s dreams to unfold in a dazzling production of hope and generosity. In the intricate tapestry of life‚ God often weaves the threads of generosity and kindness to fulfill His purpose. It is through selfless acts of compassion and kindness that His divine plan unfolds. God utilizes the human heart as a vessel‚ prompting individuals to extend a helping hand‚ offer solace‚ and share blessings with others.

4-year-old Josiah Robinson learned how to pray from his Grandma. And hearing such power and conviction pour out of such a tiny body is truly inspiring! All children are a blessing from the good Lord. They should be treasured‚ treated and raised as such. Part of properly raising a child includes teaching and instructing them in the ways and lessons of Jesus Christ. RELATED: Toddler Boy Praying Boldly To God With His Classmates Is Just So Powerful To See Those who would argue that children are too young‚ that they wouldn't be able to understand enough to learn about God's Son‚ could not be any more wrong. Children are always watching. They pick up on things that no one would expect‚ as one video posted on TikTok so hilariously displays. Little Boy Learned How To Pray Boldly In the clip‚ 4-year-old Josiah Robinson lowered his head while sitting at the table. Seconds later‚ he begins praying emphatically. He asks God to "just heal my body‚ oh God!" After asking for the Lord's healing touch on his body‚ the young man moves on to the most important aspect of his being. "Just bless my soul right this minute‚ oh God! Oh‚ God‚ oh God! Bless my soul and heal my sickness‚" Josiah prays. RELATED: 4 Powerful Ways Praying Grandparents Make A HUGE Difference The young man ends his passionate prayer with‚ "In Jesus's name‚ amen." The text at the top of the video reads‚ ‘My son prays just like my mama." Apparently‚ this precious boy learned how to pray from his Grandma. The sweet video of the young man talking to God was posted online by his mother‚ Stacy Robinson‚ according to People. Not only was the young man copying his grandmother's words‚ but he was also mimicking her tone of voice and mannerisms during prayer. Yes‚ it is important to teach children about Jesus Christ. But it is just as critical‚ perhaps even more so‚ to model how to worship and communicate with the Lord. Children‚ even when they don't appear to be‚ are watching. They pick up on and learn from one's actions just as little Josiah has from his grandmother.
