Just drove through Clinton, Iowa, and stopped at @Culvers. After Lara finished taking my order, she looked at my sweatshirt and said, “I’m old enough to know who Walter Payton was.” I told her, “That’s my dad.” She freaked out! Then 17-year-old Ze lost it, too. He told me WP was his favorite football player. Before our food even came out, I took pictures with everyone. What a special, unexpected moment. Thank you, Lara & the entire team for making my day. 🙏🏽 @WalterPayton, you have no idea the impact you left down here. Your legacy continues to touch people in places you never imagined. 🙏🏽 🐻⬇️ #Bears

One of the last things we did at our back-to-school faculty meeting. ❤️ Everyone picked a random day this school year and scheduled an email to our entire staff — a reminder to take care of our mental health, prioritize the people we love, and remember that there is life outside of school, too. I have no idea when they’re coming or what they’ll say. I just hope they show up on the days we need them most. ❤️ #multiplyexcellence #teacher #education

Sat through a lecture so passive you started counting minutes you'd never get back? Becky Pike Pluth has 6 fixes for that. Chunk it. Ask "how many of you." Close with recall, not a wrap-up. Full post + Boot Camp (Oct 6–8, online): na2.hubs.ly/H0710JP0 #TrainTheTrainer

As we approach the 25th anniversary …many of us are old enough to remember this very dark day
She was only twenty-seven years old. In the final minutes of her life, she did not ask her family to comfort her. Instead, Honor Elizabeth Wainio used her last phone call to prepare them for a grief she knew she would never have to carry. Everyone knew her as Lizz. Just days before September 11, 2001, she had returned from the trip she had always dreamed about. She celebrated a friend's wedding in Florence. She walked the streets of Paris. She even lit a candle in a church for her grandmother. Lizz once told her mother that seeing Paris would make her life complete. She believed the rest of her life was still ahead of her. At just 27, she was already a successful district manager for Discovery Channel Stores, overseeing locations across New York and New Jersey. Friends remembered her as energetic. Organized. Full of warmth. On the morning of September 11, she boarded United Airlines Flight 93 in Newark, bound for San Francisco. There were forty passengers and crew on board. Along with four hijackers. At 9:28 a.m., the hijackers stormed the cockpit. The plane plunged suddenly. Passengers were thrown toward the back. Then the phone calls began. One by one, they learned the truth. The World Trade Center had been attacked. The Pentagon had been hit. Their flight wasn't headed for negotiations. It had become another weapon. At 9:53, Lizz called her stepmother, Esther Heymann, using an Airfone. Her voice was calm. She spoke about the people she loved. She tried to comfort Esther instead of asking for comfort herself. She even said what was happening would be much harder for her family than it would be for her. Then she quietly added that she was going to be with her grandmother. The conversation lasted about four and a half minutes. Near the end, she heard passengers gathering. They were preparing to fight back. "I have to go," she said. "They're breaking into the cockpit. I love you." At 9:57, the passengers and crew launched their courageous counterattack. They knew exactly what failure would mean. Six minutes later, at 10:03, Flight 93 crashed into a field near Shanksville, Pennsylvania. Everyone on board was killed. Investigators later concluded the hijackers were likely heading for the U.S. Capitol. The passengers never let them get there. Today, forty wind chimes stand at the Flight 93 National Memorial. One for every passenger and crew member. One for every life. Lizz had dreams. She had people waiting for her. She had a future. But even when everything else was taken away, her compassion remained untouched. In her final moments, courage didn't sound like fearlessness. It sounded like love.

✝️This song is so powerful. Truly had me sobbing. My Dad isn’t a believer and probably never will be no matter how hard I try. To think I won’t see him on the other side is 💔 Do you ever think about that for your loved ones/friends that don’t believe in Christ?
