SUBWAY

'My name's Harvey. I'm 68. I work the night shift at TravelCenter truck stop on 1-40 Pump diesel, ring up snacks, clean showers Same blue vest for thirteen vears. Truckers fuel up, grab coffee, hit the road. Most are gone in fifteen minutes But I see who stays parked Like the trucker who'd been sitting in his rig for three days. Engine off. Never came inside except for bathroom. No food, no shower, just sitting Fourth morning, I knocked on his cab. "You okay, buddy?' He rolled down the window. Looked exhausted. "Broke down. Waiting on parts. Can't afford to eat and fix the truck both Truck wins." "When'd vou eat last?" 'Tuesday." It was Friday I went inside, made him a hot dog, brought chips and coffee. "Store policy. Can't sell dav-old stuff." |t wasn't day-old. But he was starving He cried eating that hot dog. Started noticing others. The female trucker sleeping in her cab because shower credits cost too much. The rookie driver rationinc gas station food because rookie pay barely covers fuel. Truckers choosing between eating and making deliveries on time. I began keeping food. "Expired" items still perfectly good. When truckers looked desperate, I'd "find" extras they could have. Word spread on the CB radio. "Harvey at the 1-40 TravelCenter helps drivers." Then something unexpected. A trucker I'd fed vears ago made it big, started his own company. Came back, left $1,000. "For drivers who are where I was."Now our TravelCenter has a "Trucker Relief Fund." Other truck stops copied it Fifty-three stops across nine states 'm 68. I scan Slim Jims and pump diese fuel at a highway truck stop. But I learned, truckers deliver everything we need to survive. And they're often starving, broke, sleeping in their cabs because one breakdown destroys them financially Watch vour lot. Someone's been parked three davs without moving. Someone's choosing between fuel and food Find the expired snacks. Offer the shower credit. Sometimes a $4 hot dog is what keeps.

Unmatched sweetness! Honey is unique in its ability to last forever when kept in a sealed container in a cool, dry place, thanks to its special chemical makeup. While it may crystallize or darken over time, this durability reflects the sentiment in Psalm 119:103, which compares the sweetness of God's words to honey. Just as honey brings nourishment and joy, God's word offers a deep, lasting happiness that surpasses any earthly pleasure. It enriches our souls in ways that material things cannot, nurturing the fruits of the Spirit—love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, gentleness, and self-control, as noted in Galatians 5:22-23. These virtues embody the sweetness of divine wisdom, leading to transformative changes in our lives when we engage with His teachings. Recently, I craved chocolate but was reluctant to brave the cold. My son kindly offered to pick some up while running errands. As he described the store's options, I imagined the perfect bite, only to find my favorite candy was out of stock, leaving me with a less desirable choice. I told myself I would be satisfied with whatever he brought back, but my excitement turned to disappointment when I bit into stale chocolate with an unappealing texture. This experience reminded me how often we pursue fleeting pleasures, drawn in by attractive packaging, only to find temporary satisfaction. If we shifted our focus to the sweet promises of God, we would discover a richness in every area of our lives—spiritually, mentally, emotionally, financially, and physically—that brings a happiness only He can provide. Before you chase after what you think will bring you joy, take a moment to delve into the profound depth of God's word. It offers a lasting sweetness that far surpasses any temporary pleasure the world can provide.

Parasite Found in McDonald’s Filet-O-Fish Highlights a Common Seafood Issue By Duane Beckett, 2 days ago StudentRecipes StudentRecipes Follow https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2QwtHi_19Yuf7gz00 McDonalds Golden Arches Rt.1, Saugus, Massachusetts USA.

Look away, Fillet-O-Fish fast-food fans, as a Reddit post that went viral clearly shows a parasite in the patty. The image, which you can see here, shows a half-eaten sandwich with a round, worm-like creature on the fish. This is more than enough to send online communities into full-on disgust mode. However, in recent coverage, Delish reported that commentators in the Reddit thread pointed to a likely explanation. The parasite was a nematode and common in seafood, especially wild-caught seafood, which is what McDonald’s uses in their Fillet-O-Fish across the United States. https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=0hg3hD_19Yuf7gz00 A McDonalds’ Filet-O-Fish sandwich.

Food Republic highlighted that this is why the original story about parasites in a McDonald’s Fillet-O-Fish hasn’t driven more outrage. The restaurant’s location where the picture was taken has not been confirmed. McDonald’s stated that it maintains quality control steps for the Filet-O-Fish patty, including freezing the fish in line with FDA guidance, manually inspecting each fillet, and carrying out added inspections at supplier facilities. None of the above means a visible parasite won’t slip through, but it does mean the company says there are multiple checkpoints before the sandwich reaches a customer.
