On this day in history: April 21, 1992 - Convicted murderer Robert Alton Harris consumes two large pizzas, a bucket of fried chicken, and some ice cream on the eve of his execution. Later, before the gas chamber is activated, Harris propounds: "You can be a king or a street sweeper, but everyone dances with the grim reaper."

Born on this day in history: April 21, 1951 - Tony Danza (1951 -) Boxer Tony Danza met a television producer at his boxing gym in New York, which led to his role as Tony Banta on the popular sitcom "Taxi" in 1978.

Scripture of the Day: Jesus said, "I give them eternal life, and they shall never perish; no one can snatch them out of my hand. My Father, who has given them to me, is greater than all; no one can snatch them out of my Father's hand. I and the Father are one." — John 10:28-3
