Before leaving this world, dying 27-year-old Holly Butcher gave the rest of us some powerful advice in her ‘Note Before I Die.’

We all know death is inevitable. And yet, we don’t expect it to come so early for many of us. Holly Butcher from New South Wales in Australia certainly falls into the category of “too young to die.”

Doctors gave Holly the terrible news when she was just 26 years old. She suffered from Ewing’s sarcoma — a rare form of cancer in and around the bones that mainly affects young people.

The news completely blindsided Holly.

“It’s a strange thing to realise and accept your mortality at 26 years young,” she wrote in the opening of her ‘Note Before I Die.’ “It’s just one of those things you ignore. The days tick by and you just expect they will keep on coming; Until the unexpected happens.”

Holly’s diagnosis came as a shock to her family, as well. The active, vibrant young woman seemed to exude good health.

To hear she was living with a ticking time bomb inside of her seemed impossible.

“She embodied good health,” Holly’s brother, Dean, explained. “As a dietitian, she ate all the right foods, she exercised regularly and didn’t drink much alcohol. But that’s the thing about cancer… it’s non-discriminatory.”

Doctors gave Holly no hope. The stage 4 cancer had already spread to most of her…

Police and private security officers were reportedly summoned to a family meeting at Highpoint Church in Memphis last Tuesday after members erupted in open rebellion against church leaders over the vague explanation provided about the departure of the church’s founder, Chris Conlee.

Conlee delivered an emotional farewell to the congregation on July 15, just days after he announced his resignation from the church following six months of headlines about the sex abuse scandal involving former teaching pastor Andy Savage.

At the family meeting where between 1,000 and 2,000 people showed up expecting a deeper discussion of the circumstances surrounding Conlee’s abrupt resignation, Brad McDaniel, a counselor who says he is not a member of the church but attended the meeting, described what happened in a video posted to a public Facebook group called Highpoint Leadership Crisis (Unofficial).

McDaniel said the meeting went on for about one hour and involved the church’s board of trustees and several senior staff. The leadership team delivered a PowerPoint presentation on stage, highlighting things like the organizational structure of the church, its governing structure and its…

Minor League Baseball player and household name, Tim Tebow, suffered a hand injury this past weekend, and is expected to end this season early.

The Mets’ Minor League OF was swinging his bat and broke a bone in his right hand. He will have surgery today to repair his hamate bone, but insiders are saying the season is over for Tebow.

“Another Setback for Tim Tebow,” Jim Denison reports, as Tebow is no stranger to career bumps in the road, having played briefly for three NFL teams, however; Fox News asserts he is a fighter:

“Though pundits and pontificators will likely suggest this setback could be the final nail in Tebow’s unlikely rise to Major League Baseball, I wouldn’t be so sure,” they continue, “Tim Tebow’s been able to consistently get up because he looks up to a God who he loves – and who he knows loves him.”

Baseball is not the only thing in Tebow’s life. He recently confirmed his relationship with former Miss Universe, Demi-Leigh Nel-Peters: “She is a really special girl and I am very lucky and blessed for her coming into my life. I am usually very private…

Greek Prime Minister Alexis Tsipras on Tuesday declared a three-day period of national mourning after coastal wildfires killed at least 70 and injured more than 180 in what experts are calling the worst outbreak of fires there in more than a decade.  

Firefighters were struggling to gain control of the wildfires, which were spreading through the coastal city of Mati about 25 miles east of Athens. Many of the dead are tourists.

Greek Interior Minister Panos Skourletis compared it to a “biblical disaster,” according to Sky News.

Even the beach wasn’t safe. One tourist who was on the shore told the BBC, “Thankfully the sea was there and we went into the sea, because the flames were chasing us all the way to the water. It burned our backs and we dived into the water.”

In one tragic location, 26 adults and children died in a field about 100 feet from the beach. Rescuers discovered their bodies close together, as if they had huddled.

“They had tried to find an escape route but unfortunately these people and their kids didn’t make it in time,” Nikos Economopoulos, head of Greece’s Red Cross, told the BBC. “Instinctively, seeing the end nearing, they embraced.”

The combination of a dry winter and a warm summer sparked the wildfires.

“Today Greece is mourning,” Tsipras said in a televised address “And in the memory of those who were lost, we call three…

A government-run public transportation company violated the U.S. Constitution when it refused to accept a pro-life organization’s ad showing pictures of unborn babies from ultrasounds, a new lawsuit alleges.

Alliance Defending Freedom filed suit Monday against CityBus — which serves Lafayette and West Lafayette, Ind. – after the company rejected an ad from Tippecanoe County Right to Life (TCRTL), a local pro-life organization. CityBus said the proposed ad expressed a “political viewpoint” in violation of the advertising policy.

The ad showed three pictures: two of a baby from an ultrasound and one picture of a newborn baby. Superimposed over the photos are the words, “ME,” “ME AGAIN” and “STILL ME.”

CityBus violated the free speech clause of the First Amendment and the due process and equal protection clauses of the Fourteenth Amendment, the suit says.

“An unborn baby’s humanity is a scientific fact, but even debatable ‘political viewpoints’ can’t be silenced by government officials whenever they dislike them,” said ADF legal counsel Samuel Green. “When the government creates an opportunity for advertising on countless topics, it cannot unreasonably single out life-affirming, educational messages for censorship. The First Amendment protects freedom of speech for all people, regardless of their beliefs.”

CityBus previously had accepted…
