After spending hours dangling precariously from a sign above an Oklahoma highway as onlookers worried he would jump to his death Tuesday, a man in mental distress was convinced that life was worth living by a good Samaritan who told him, âGod loves you.â God loves you guy, the good Samaritan, Rick Jewell, said he told the unidentified man, according to News Channel 8.
âI just started talking to him, and I told him there was more to life than what he was doing and that God loved him. He looked at me, and I told him to throw me his cigarettes. He threw me those. I said, Throw me that rope. He threw me that rope. And I said, Now get down from there. I said, Theyâre going to help you. He headed down. Simple. Itâs crazy.

The council will invest in two early intervention models in education A plan to help young people with special educational needs sooner will lead to better outcomes and save money in the long run, according to Enfield Council. The council will invest in two early intervention models centred on speech, language and communication and autism to ensure children get support as soon as they need it – avoiding more costly and intensive intervention further down the line. It is hoped the approach will allow as many children as possible to stay in Enfield and be educated at their local school, rather than having to travel to other boroughs.
