TAKEOFF,

At Least 89 Dead as Helene Pounds Southeast,

Hurricane Helene caused at least 89 deaths this weekend, up to a third of them in North Carolina alone, while leaving over 2 million people struggling without electricity.

Helene made landfall Thursday night in Florida’s Big Bend region as a Category 4 hurricane, unleashing catastrophic flooding and extensive damage.

The storm caused record-breaking rainfall, particularly in North Carolina, where towns like Biltmore Village experienced severe flooding, submerging the historic area under several feet of water.

Helene is expected to dissipate by Monday, but heavy rain and flash flooding continue to threaten parts of the Appalachians.

SpaceX Reaches ISS, but Grounds Rockets,

SpaceX’s Crew-9 mission successfully launched to the International Space Station for a five-month expedition, enabling the return of stranded NASA astronauts.

However, a post-mission error caused the rocket’s upper stage to miss its target area during the planned ocean landing, prompting SpaceX to temporarily ground future Falcon 9 launches pending investigation.

The two-person crew arrived safely at the ISS on Sunday. They plan to return stranded astronauts Butch Wilmore and Suni Williams to Earth in February.

This marks the third time in recent months that SpaceX has temporarily halted launches.

Kris Kristofferson Dies at 88,

Kris Kristofferson, the country music legend and Hollywood actor, died on Saturday at his home in Hawaii at the age of 88.

Kristofferson was a groundbreaking singer-songwriter who penned hits like Me and Bobby McGee and Sunday Morning Coming Down, and later found success as an actor, starring in films such as A Star Is Born.

He was inducted into the Country Music Hall of Fame in 2004 and received a Lifetime Achievement Award from the Recording Academy in 2015.

Twitter and Facebook Marketing

My Name is Russell Sherrard. I am an experienced Social Media Marketer having 9 years of experience in Twitter marketing for multiple clients. The majority of my experience is with Authors and Writers as clients but will work with any legal and legitimate business.

Promote your book/ebook on twitter and anything digital. For example, Christian Apps. I can hear all the naysayers say that twitter is a cesspool and you can’t sell anything on twitter. I have been on twitter since August 2012. I am an author and I can tell you this is false. I have sold many, many books that I can track back to twitter. I have 12 thousand 200+ followers on twitter and it all depends on who you follow. My followers are about half political and half writers, authors and readers. Now there are some writers, and especially christian writers say that they don’t feel right selling their books. You mean to tell me that God led you to write the book and all that goes into it and not mean for you to not tell people about it? I just don’t buy it. Check out some of my previous work:

And Now, A word From one of Our Sponsors,

Before we go let me tell you about one of the books found on my Bookstore,

Go to https:// payhip.com/ Christian NonFiction eBookStore then scroll down and click on Interactive Romans Road New King James Version

Long Ago, when the Roman Empire was at the height of its glory, a common saying was “All Roads Lead to Rome.” I want to tell you about a very special road — a road that existed then and still exists now. This road, now almost 2,000 years old, has never led to Rome. Yet, strangely enough, it is called the Romans Road.

This takes the reader to selected passages in the Book of Romans in the Bible to explain the plan of Salvation. This is the ideal way to share the gospel using your Kindle. The reader can also read the entire book of Romans un-interrupted.
