Third Day lead singer Mac Powell is asking for prayers for his wife after she was admitted to the hospital for brain bleeding.

According to CBN News, Powell wrote on his Instagram page that his wife, Aimee, was taken to the hospital for a headache. A CT scan found bleeding on her brain that doctors said could be an aneurysm.

“She is going through a procedure right now to find the problem,” he wrote. “The doctors seem optimistic. Please pray!!!”

Powell later posted that Aimee would be kept at the hospital. Doctors were able to stop the aneurysm from bleeding and possibly rupturing.

“Thankful for many friend[s], family, and prayers!” he wrote.

Powell and Aimee met in the marching band at McEachern High School in Powder Springs, Atlanta, the Atlanta Magazine reports. They have five children, two of which are adopted.

“We fell fast in love with Rudy (Nasser) and we just started down the road of praying again,” she said in an interview in 2016. “[Adoption] changed our world, turned it upside down, and it has been incredible ever since.”

In 2013, Aimee wrote a guest blog post where she talked about the family’s Christmas traditions.

“Every year on our way home from Thanksgiving in Alabama, our children watch The Polar Express on the TV in our 9 passenger conversion van,” she wrote. “Mac and I…

According to an abortion rights group, 24 states are likely to ban abortion should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade.

The Christian Post reported that the Center for Reproductive Rights updated its “What if Roe fell?” map earlier this month for the first time in three years. The map predicts the moves of each state, the District of Columbia, and the American territories should the controversial lawsuit revert. The categories are “expanded access,” “protected,” “not protected,” and “hostile.”

In a startling move, the Center placed 24 states under the “hostile” to abortion category: Alabama, Arizona, Arkansas, Georgia, Idaho, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisiana, Michigan, Mississippi, Missouri, Nebraska, North Carolina, North Dakota, Ohio, Oklahoma, Pennsylvania, South Carolina, South Dakota, Tennessee, Texas, Utah, West Virginia, and Wisconsin.

The updated categories come in the wake of several states passing severe abortion laws, including Georgia’s strict restriction on abortions after six weeks and Alabama’s promise to federally convict doctors who perform abortions.

The map “shows the devastating landscape of abortion access if Roe is weakened or overturned,” said Nancy Northup, President and CEO of the Center, in a statement. “We have analyzed the laws and constitutional protections of every…

A national television audience Saturday watched running back J. K. Dobbins score four touchdowns to help No. 1 Ohio State crush Michigan, but it also learned how Dobbins’ mother nearly aborted him before changing her mind.

The junior rushed 31 times for 211 yards in the Buckeyes’ 56-27 win over their archrival and currently ranks fourth among all major college football players with 1,657 rushing yards, the NCAA notes.

After he scored Ohio State’s final touchdown on a 33-yard run Saturday, FOX Sports play-by-play announcer Gus Johnson relayed a personal story about Dobbins’ mother.

“His mom Mya became pregnant when she was 18 years old,” Johnson said. “She went to the doctor because she was thinking about aborting the baby, but changed her mind. That baby turned out to be that young man, J.K. Dobbins, who she calls her miracle baby.”

Sports broadcast teams often tell personal stories about a player’s life, but the account of Dobbins had Johnson’s name trending on Twitter.

In 2017, the Cleveland Dispatch newspaper told how Dobbins’ mother, Mya Grounds, earned a finance degree to provide for her son. Dobbins learned his work ethic from her, the newspaper said.

“You have to work hard and do things yourself,” Grounds said. “If you don’t do things for yourself, it’ll never get done. That’s something my grandmother taught…
