Hey, this is Joe at the poorover.

And this is Zan at the poorover.

Today, we're giving an update on the deadly flooding in Texas,

the DOJ's memo on disgraced financier Jeffrey Epstein,

when new tariffs will take effect,

and other top news for Wednesday, July 9.

Stay informed while remaining focused on Christ with the pullover today.

Here's your quote of the day.

I believe that in the end, the truth will conquer.

John Whitcliffe.

Let's get started with some espresso shots.

Search and rescue crews are still calming through Central Texas after devastating floods

killed over 100 people. The rising death toll includes 27 Camp Mystic Campers and counselors, 11 remain unaccounted

for, and spans six counties. First responders say the likelihood of finding more survivors

is fading. Texas Governor Greg Abbott declared a day of prayer and vigils have been held

statewide. The scale of the disaster has raised questions over coordination and communication prior to the flooding,

but the National Weather Service says its regional office was fully staffed,

and the most severe catastrophic flash flood warnings were issued before the Guadalupe River rose. Meanwhile, stories of heroism

have begun to emerge, including a Coast Guard rescue swimmer credited with directly saving

165 people from rising floodwaters. It was his first mission.

The promise of heaven does not remove the pains of this world, but it does give us hope, strength, and peace during life's most difficult seasons.

Join us in praying for hope, strength, and peace for the families and first responders in Texas.
