Rain wedges JSU into crowded football day

Rain wedges JSU into crowded football day
The coach gave the pregame speech in the way only she could truly deliver and all the players had on their game faces.

The only thing that didn’t cooperate was the weather.

The storms that blew through the area late in the day and all evening forced Jacksonville State officials to postpone the J-Day Spring Game to 10 a.m. today.

They tried to beat the weather by pushing the game up 30 minutes, then back to the original start time when the rain and lightning came in. Finally, after a big bolt looked like it struck right outside the stadium, they called it a night.

Meet the boy who says he visited heaven and saw Jesus

Meet the boy who says he visited heaven and saw Jesus

After a burst appendix nearly cost 4-year-old Colton Burpo his life in 2003, his parents were thankful just to have him alive and well. But when he opened up about his brush with death a few months later, they were shocked when he described a very vivid trip to heaven, and spoke of matters about which he had no apparent way of knowing.

During an automobile trip, when Sonja Burpo asked him about his memories of being in the hospital, little Colton replied: “Yes, Mommy, I remember — that’s where the angels sang to me.” A sweet answer, to be sure — but then Colton made his parents’ jaws drop when he told them about sitting in Jesus’ lap, watching his parents while he lay seemingly near death, and meeting his great-grandfather.

But most poignantly, Colton described meeting a sibling in heaven — even though he had no way of knowing that his mother had miscarried two years before he was born, since his parents had never told him.

Todd Burpo began telling of his son’s heaven-sent visions from the pulpit of the Crossroads Wesleyan Church in Imperial, Neb., where he serves as pastor. Word of mouth spread, and the family landed a book deal. The book — “Heaven Is for Real,” written by Todd with co-writer Lynn Vincent — has become a best-seller, with some 1.5 million copies in print since its release in November.
Appearing live on TODAY Monday with Sonja and Colton, who’s now 11, Todd told Matt Lauer he understands that naysayers may believe Colton’s story is a little too heavenly to be true — initially, so did he and Sonja. “At first we were surprised; we never anticipated to talk to our son about these things,” Todd told Matt Lauer.
