A Facebook video of a cheerful Chick-fil-A employee has gone viral and is receiving nationwide attention thanks to the worker’s constant smile and upbeat attitude.

Jeremiah Murrill, who works at a Chick-fil-A in Wilmington, N.C., was filmed by a regular customer in the drive-thru taking her order. She posted it on Facebook, and it subsequently passed 500,000 views within three weeks. 

WWAY-TV in Wilmington interviewed him for a story, which was picked up by CNN.

Always wearing a big smile, the joyful Murrill fills his conversations with words like “awesome” and “amazing” and phrases like “yes ma’am” and “yes sir.”

Each time the customer in the video lists a food choice, he keys it in and asks through a smile, “How else may I serve you?”

“Luv this young man he [is] like this ALL the time … A1 services all day everyday (sic),” wrote Toya Liles, who asked Murrill if she could film the exchange. 

At the end of the order, he fist bumps each person in the car. 

“You guys are awesome!” he says. “Thanks so much for choosing Chick-fil-A.”

He told WWAY he eventually wants to own his own Chick-fil-A franchise while “incorporating ministry and music.” 

“Your actions, your behavior, or the way you say something – the way you interact with people – it matters. It transforms a day” Murrill said. “I serve a lot of guests. I try to remember each and every…

HYDERABAD, India, January 6, 2019 (Morning Star News) – Police in northern India’s Uttar Pradesh state work in tandem with Hindu extremists to treat Christians and other religious minorities especially harshly, sources said.

“The UP police force is very different from the rest of India,” Dinanath Jaiswar, a volunteer with legal advocacy group Alliance Defending Freedom-India, told Morning Star News. “They are very brash in their dealings with Muslim and Christian minorities, and there have been several cases of violence in police custody, but by God’s grace we have tried our best to reach them on time, and even while in the clutches of the enemy, God protects His people.”

From April 2017 to February 2018, India’s National Human Rights Commission registered 365 cases of judicial and custodial deaths in Uttar Pradesh, according to The Indian Express; the next highest amount was 127 cases in West Bengal state.

“It does not take long for a police officer here to lose his temper and thrash a person in custody,” Jaiswar said.

Most cases reported against police stations in several Uttar Pradesh districts fell under the categories of torture, infliction of injury and grievous hurt, according to the National Crime Records Bureau.

“It has become a trend that a batch of Hindu extremists barge inside Christian homes and accuse them of proselytizing Hindus to Christianity,”…

Quarterback Kirk Cousins led the Minnesota Vikings to an upset victory over New Orleans Sunday in the NFL playoffs, but it was an inspiring postgame interview on national television that caught the eye of many casual fans.  

Cousins’ 43-yard pass to Adam Thielen followed by a four-yard touchdown strike to Kyle Rudolph gave visiting Minnesota a 26-20 overtime win over the Saints in the opening round of the playoffs. It was Minnesota’s first-ever playoff win in overtime.

After the game, Cousins was asked by FOX’s Chris Myers about the load he had “been carrying” as quarterback. Myers noted Cousins has a “deep” faith.

“Ultimately, it’s about team,” Cousins said. “And I’m just trying to do my part for this team [and] help us win. Quarterback carries weight. That comes with the job. Like you said, my faith is important to me. It’s the foundation of my life. And ultimately, that’s where I gain my peace and strength. Win or lose today, God is still on the throne, and I take comfort in that.”

Cousins – who was drafted out of Michigan State in 2012 by Washington before being signed by the Vikings in 2018 as a free agent – is known for his faith. His Twitter bio reads, “Micah 6:8 ‘What does the Lord require of you? To act justly, love mercy & walk humbly with your God.’”

He gave an interview in 2018 to Sports Spectrum, a…

President Trump kicked off the election year by launching the “Evangelicals for Trump” coalition during a rally last week at one of the country’s largest Hispanic megachurches.

According to The Christian Post, the coalition is meant to help the president rally evangelical support for re-election.

The rally started with religious leaders such as Paula White, James Dobson, Cissie Graham Lynch, Jack Graham and Alveda King, praying over the President.

“Mr. President, although you live in a very elegant White House, you are our neighbor,” Lynch said. “We will love you through this and we will help you for 2020 so you can keep fighting for us because you are our neighbor and we love you.”

The President then took the mic to celebrate evangelical victories over the past four years and to warn the country of its future should a Democrat win the office.

“I’m thrilled to be here in Miami, Florida to officially launch one of the most important grassroots movements in American history, it’s a first — Evangelicals for Trump,” the President said from the stage of El Ray Jesus Church in Miami.

“In 2016, evangelical Christians went out and they worked so hard and they produced numbers like they have never produced before. Based on what Paula [White] and Cissie [Graham Lynch] told me and everybody told me, we are going to blow those numbers away in 2020,” the president continued later in…
