Alan Jackson: A Story of Resilience and Triumph

Alan Jackson, the 64-year-old country music legend, has captivated fans for over four decades with his traditional country and honky-tonk tunes, selling over 80 million records. His journey has been marked by resilience, especially after revealing a diagnosis of Charcot-Marie-Tooth disease, a degenerative nerve disorder, and grieving the loss of his son-in-law, Ben Selecman, a promising Assistant District Attorney.

Despite these hardships, Jackson has poured his emotions into his music, with albums like “Angels & Alcohol” (2015) and “Where Have You Gone” (2021) reflecting his personal trials. His daughter, Mattie, also found strength in her faith and collaborated with him on the song “Racing the Dark,” a tribute to overcoming pain.

Mattie co-founded NaSHEville, empowering women in Music City, and wrote “Lemons on Friday,” a memoir about her journey through grief and healing. Alan and his wife, Denise, contribute a heartfelt introduction, sharing their own healing experiences.

Despite his health challenges, Alan remains committed to his music. We extend our prayers and support to him and his family, grateful for the joy his music continues to bring.

JOKE OF THE DAY: An old couple had been married for 50 years. Every morning (without fail), the man emitted an echoing burst of gas when he got out of bed and then laughed like a madman. Also, every morning, his wife would admonish him: “One of these days you’re going to burst your guts out.” It’s Thanksgiving morning. The old man is sleeping in, and the old lady is in the initial steps of preparing the turkey. While she has a handful of turkey innards, she gets an idea. She tiptoes up the stairs and into the bedroom. She carefully pulls back the waistband of her husband’s jockey shorts and loads him up with warm turkey guts. An hour later, the woman hears him stirring. She hears his feet hit the floor and the expected boom-laugh sequence. The laugh stops abruptly and is followed by a scream and then 10 minutes of utter silence. The man eventually comes down the stairs and…⬇ (Continuation in first comment) 😂👇

I RETURNED HOME WITH MY DAUGHTER ONLY TO FIND OUT MY HUSBAND TOOK HIS THINGS AND DISAPPEARED A few days ago, I went for an evening walk with my 4-year-old daughter, Grace, while my husband, Jordan, stayed home. We were having a lovely time in the park, but when we returned to our apartment, something felt… off. The door was slightly ajar, and there was no sound inside. I called out for Jordan, but got no response. As I stepped inside, my heart dropped—his clothes, shoes, wallet, and even his work laptop were all gone. I looked around in a panic and found only one thing: a note on the kitchen counter. It read, “I will return only if you fulfill ONE REQUEST.” I was stunned. What could this possibly mean? There had been no fights, no arguments—everything seemed fine. Why would he just leave without saying a word? I contacted the police, but they had no leads. His phone went straight to voicemail, and I couldn’t get any answers. The whole situation felt like a bad dream. Then, on the THIRD day, as I sat in the silence of our empty home, I heard the doorbell. My heart raced—could it be Jordan? I rushed to the door, but when I opened it, all I found was a plain, unmarked package sitting on the doorstep. My hands shook as I picked it up, afraid of what might be inside. ⬇️

They say life can change in an instant. For me, that instant came on a Tuesday evening when I returned home from the park with my four-year-old…
