This curious sea lion steals fish from a boat, and what a story these folks now have! A sea lion. Yes, a sea lion. And look at the size of this wild animal. We’ve seen it before in children, or maybe from our dog. When they think no one is looking, they may try to sneak a cookie from the jar, a snack before dinner, or otherwise break some rule they know about. Well, what do you do when a sea lion is somewhere they shouldn’t be? What if that sea lion is taking things from you that it shouldn’t? And what if that sea lion sees you and does not care? This curious sea lion got a bit too curious, and a bit too hungry. Not only did the animal hop on board this boat, but also gulped down the bait fish these people had. On board the ship was a couple, 29-year-old Mariah Bechdtel-Occhi and her fiancé. They were near Cabo San Lucas, Mexico fishing with friends. On their way back to the marina is when someone else decided to join them, someone uninvited. And yet, certainly and hungrily attending. “As soon as the sea lion hopped on board, I screamed bloody murder,” Mariah admitted. Despite her initial reaction, they allowed the animal to stay and filmed it in action. Trying to chase the animal off may have resulted in a different kind of video. Instead, they filmed and watched as the sea lion ate their bait. The animal looks pretty content eating, very much uncaring about the humans. This sea lion saw food and that’s all that mattered. “How did they know that it’s in there?” Mariah asked her fiancé. A good question that went without answer during their trip. Thankfully, everything worked out. Aside from losing some bait fish, the sun still shone brightly on those scenic blue waters. And they have quite a story to share with others now.

Ephesians 5:1-2

Kelly Clarkson can’t help but hold back tears as country music star Garth Brooks sings ‘The Dance’ on her show. Some songs are so powerful that they take on a whole new meaning in times of tragedy. People turn to them for strength and hope in the face of adversity and loss. Kelly Clarkson hung onto ‘The Dance.’ She held back tears as Garth Brooks sang, ‘The Dance’ on her show. After gushing and downright fangirling over Garth’s song, he made her dreams come true when he came to her show and performed on stage. The pair not only talked about music, but they also talked about life experiences that go into their music. She said, “After listening to my playlist and hearing ‘The Dance,’ she said it made her realize that, “that is how I was feeling.” Kelly admitted she was ashamed and saddened to be going through a divorce. She had tried incredibly hard for seven years to make her marriage work but in the end, she did what she thought was best to protect her children. Unlike other individuals who are bitter about these types of heartbreaking circumstances, she felt there were additional feelings she couldn’t define until Garth’s song began to play. “I kid you not, I was listening to my playlist and ‘The Dance’ came on and that’s the thing,” Clarkson explained. “I literally, it’s not like your song, like a rip-off, but I literally wrote this whole thing therapeutically for me, and it’s actually on my next album,” Clarkson told Brooks. “It’s the whole kind of come around…the little tag part is, ‘even though my heart is broken it was worth the dance anyway.’” This song was therapeutic for her in the darkest hours of her divorce. God was definitely on the move when he provided Kelly comfort that He knew would speak to her heart. The song was written in 1990 and it became one of the most iconic songs by Garth of all time. While most people assume the song is about a relationship gone bad, Garth said it’s more than that. It’s about the bigger picture. It’s about life. Indeed, isn’t that the truth? Even when we are hurting in the middle of our present circumstances, God is holding us and leading us forward into the bigger picture of life. He sees the bigger picture from beginning to end. "Now we see things imperfectly, like puzzling reflections in a mirror, but then we will see everything with perfect clarity. All that I know now is partial and incomplete, but then I will know everything completely, just as God now knows me completely." 1 Corinthians 13:12

There are millions of words to describe our feelings but sometimes words just aren't enough. Especially when you’re going through hard times and you weren’t sure what the outcome would be. One 12-year-old boy cried while playing the organ for his dad after he recovered from Covid-19. In March of this year, Johnnie Clark of California surprised his son with a piano, promising his son, Shyon, they would have plenty of time to play together. And that’s what they did for four hours every day. Shayon played on the organ and his dad, sitting next to him as he played the piano. But like many other families throughout the pandemic, his father tested positive for COVID-19. "It made me extremely sad because I couldn't see him and we weren't able to be together. But I continued to play the organ by myself because I didn't want to forget the songs he taught me," Shyon said. But by the grace of God, Johnnie kept his promise to return home after beating the virus. The next day, Shyon sat down at the organ to show his dad just how he felt. As he played ‘Deliver Me,’ Shyon broke down in tears. He stopped playing and used his t-shirt to wipe his cheeks. He was so overcome with relief that his dad and best friend made it home. "I started to tear up because at one point I thought I was never going to see my dad again, but he was 'delivered.' So I just let it all out and I couldn't hold my tears back," he said. While he was playing for his father, his parents did what all proud parents do, they whipped out their phones to record their son playing. Despite his tearful moment, his parents posted the video, moved by their son’s heartfelt performance. But what they didn’t expect was for the simple, sweet video to go viral! So far, it’s had more than 700,000 views before being posted to Color Coded Media and Good Morning America. Nothing is more precious than the love of a father, and Shyon captured this beautifully with his emotions and performance. What an incredible display of love! "The Lord is like a father to his children, tender and compassionate to those who fear him." Psalm 103:13

A Viral teen sensation sings an incredible a cappella cover of Pentatonix’ ‘Sing’ that you just have to hear! Take a look around the famous school building used as the setting for ‘High School Musical’ as viral teen sensation, Lyza Bull, sings an a cappella cover of ‘Sing’ by Pentatonix. In this video, member of One Voice Children’s Choir, Lyza Bull, sings, raps, and dances her way through famous Utah high school, East High. As they explore East High, Lyza and her dancers from The Dance Club perform an acapella cover to the popular Pentatonix song, ‘Sing.’ Just raise your voice and bring the noise and sing it (Whoa, sing!) Sing for your mama, sing for your daughter (Sing!) Sing for you sisters, misters, best friends, brother (Sing!) The camera follows Lyza through the different classrooms, gymnasiums, and hallways of East High, as she and her fellow ‘students’ perform a dance routine choreographed by Shaundee Bull, Lyza’s mother. The dancing starts as the students are seated at their desk and as the music progressively ‘makes them lose control‘ they break out into more extravagant dances, dance battles, and other impressive stunts. Amongst all the different dancers is even Lyza‘s real life sister, Evelyn Grace. Disney fans will recognize the East High for being in the 2006 hit movie ‘High School Musical,‘ and both of its sequels. East High claims in the summer of 2007 they had forty to fifty fans come each day to visit the iconic campus. Lyza has been releasing music to the public since she was 13, which led to her receiving the Utah Music Award for Best New Artist Under 18 in 2017. Lyza’s parents claim Lyza has loved singing her whole life, singing as early as she was able to speak. "Oh sing to the Lord a new song; sing to the Lord, all the earth!" Psalm 96:1

Ah, the Voice. We love the show for the incredible new artists. We also love the show for various performances of our favorite songs. One such artist did not disappoint. Powerhouse vocalist Bailey Rae sings 'Sweet Music Man' from Kenny Rogers and it is incredible! Bailey Rae grew up in Oklahoma accustomed to the rodeo lifestyle and always had a love for anything country but her true passion has always been music. She started singing in church and by the time she was thirteen, she was traveling the country and performing in opries. Through her blessed talent, she became the 2020 Ambassador for the Texas Country Music Hall of Fame which is no small feat. Now that she made it onto The Voice, she is the first country singer to ever join John Legend's team. Blake Shelton hoped to steal her. When she auditioned, she delighted the judges with her version of singing Lee Ann Womack’s “Does My Ring Burn Your Finger,” caught the ear of coach John Legend. Since then, Bailey has been working hard to make it to where she is today on the show. Earlier this year, she released her first two singles, “Never Been This Lonely,” and “I’m in Love.” But the gifted young lady stole the show when she won the wildcard instant save after competing against Team Kelly’s Tanner Gomes, Team Gwen’s Payge Turner and Team Blake’s Worth the Wait. Dressed in a white cowboy hat and fringe pantsuit, her voice crooned old country song lyrics but managed to make the song sound brand new. Her performance was lonely, lovely, sweet, and filled with passion. She had the audience’s approval with her performance as she gave a nod to Kenny Rogers who passed away earlier this year. Losing a loved one is never easy. Losing a legend can be even more difficult. May Kenny rest in peace and may God bring him comfort and may God continue to find favor with Bailey Rae’s musical talents! "See what great love the Father has lavished on us, that we should be called children of God! And that is what we are! The reason the world does not know us is that it did not know him." 1 John 3:1

Romans 2:1

Biblical Devotional Poem

I come to the garden alone
While the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear, falling on my ear
The Son of God discloses
And he walks with me
And he talks with me
And he tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice
Is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me
Within my heart is ringing
And he walks with me
And he talks with me
And he tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
I'll stay in the garden with Him
Though the night around me be falling
And He bids me go, through the voice of woe
His voice to me is calling
And He walks with me
And He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own
And the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known

11-year-old Blake Walker stuns with this acoustic rendition of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah.’ The powerful song was originally released in 1984, but it wasn’t until Jeff Buckley released the song on his 1994 album, ‘Grace’ that the song really started to gain momentum. Since that time, it’s become a worldwide phenomenon and truly cemented itself in music history. Over the years, many artists have covered the tune, which sounds like a perfect blend of a rock ballad and a gospel song. “Well I've heard there was a secret chord That David played and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you?” Today, young Blake Walker is putting his own spin on this modern day classic. You may recognize Blake from the viral Rise Up Children’s Choir and Junior Choir. Over the years, this talented choir has performed countless covers of worship songs and contemporary hits. All of these performances have garnered millions of views online. Now, Blake is striking out on his own with a stunning acoustic rendition of ‘Hallelujah.’ “Well it goes like this The fourth, the fifth, the minor fall and the major lift The baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah” From the arrangement to the vocals, this Leonard Cohen cover is absolutely amazing. It’s wonderful to hear such a young talent share his gift with the world. There’s no doubt that Blake is a great vocalist and I hope that we continue to hear more from this teen in the future.

Check out this sweet video of hospice workers in the UK creating fake snow to honor one patient’s wish and bring a smile to her face! In the video, a hospice worker brings a patient named Helen outside in her bed to enjoy seeing some fake snow that they made fall all around her. And the patient lights up at the magical sight! How heartwarming! “Who saw our lovely clip of Helen enjoying her special wish for snow in the St Richard’s hospice gardens last week?” reads the caption of the video that was posted on Facebook. “We’ve been humbled by the reaction to the story, which has reached more than 100,000 people on our own social media and millions of others having been shared by news outlets across the world! It also saw supporters sharing some really moving stories about their experiences of our care; thank you to everyone who took the time to do so.” The caption continues: “It is always our privilege to help make time spent at St Richard’s as personal and special to our patients and their loved ones as possible and, of course, none of that is possible without our incredible supporters. You see, while we deliver the Christmas magic, it’s you who makes it possible with your generous gifts and donations. Something which makes up more than three quarters of our funding. So, thank you - from us all.” After seeing the video online, many people went on to share how the staff at St Richard served their loved ones so well while they were in their hospice care. “During my wife’s Lesleys last 4 months of life, you gave her so much love. You were so kind to her. There will always be a place in my heart for you,” reads one Facebook comment. “Wonderful, you did a similar thing for my mum who wanted to feel the sun on her face one more time,” writes another person online. What a wonderful act of kindness from these hospice workers who go above and beyond to bring joy to their patients!

During the 2008 Christmas finale of the 5th season of the X Factor UK, finalist contestant, Alexandra Burke, stunned audience members and judges alike with this powerful performance of Leonard Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah.’ Originally written for his 1984 album ‘Various Positions’, Cohen’s ‘Hallelujah’ found little success initially, but grew rapidly in popularity after being used in movies and TV shows in the early 2000s. After rising in popularity in the early 2000s, hundreds of covers were released for ‘Hallelujah’ from various artists in many different languages. One such performance was by X Factor UK winner, Alexandra Burke. The stage was set with a large tree covered in lights including a large Bethlehem star resting at the top. The mist rolled onto the stage and surrounded the singer as the familiar chords began to be played on the piano. Alexandra looks angelic herself in a long shimmery golden gown, her hair cascading over her shoulders in long mermaid waves. Her voice is strong and deep, and there is such presence in her performance as she begins to sing. Now I've heard there was a secret chord That David played, and it pleased the Lord And things definitely went ‘next level’ as a chorus of people dressed in all-white took the stage silently behind Alexandra. Around 2 minutes into the performance, their voices joined the singer, and it is truly powerful. Alexandra released the condensed cover of the song during this episode of the X Factor, reaching the number one spot on the UK singles list just four days later. The single held the number one spot for three weeks, sold over one million copies, and eventually led to Alexa being signed to a recording contract! “Then I heard what seemed to be the voice of a great multitude, like the roar of many waters and like the sound of mighty peals of thunder, crying out, “Hallelujah! For the Lord our God the Almighty reigns.” Revelations 19:6

Psalm 20:7

As an artist, it's important for us to express what we feel and what our vision is. This is interpretation of the nativity and of the Angel's power that guided them. If we knew what the angel or the wisdom the wisemen heard ..this would be my interpretation..in essence of me within my own art, at this point in my life I would be the electric power the people saw and heard when they went to go find the baby...the fierceness of this story...and the baby, Christ, can be considered by the fierceness and to the knowledge of Christ being born in reference to the season the child within peoples hearts being born. Creation itself coming to life and the power to radiate and within reach for human minds to interpret.....the Nativity.

As an artist, it's important for us to express what we feel and what our vision is. This is interpretation of the nativity and of the Angel's power that guided them. If we knew what the angel or the wisdom the wisemen heard ..this would be my interpretation..the offset of rhythmic dynamics to show individuality alongside with stills of love and creation and of the muse. In essence of me within my own art, at this point in my life I would be the electric power the people saw and heard when they went to go find the baby...the fierceness of this story...and the baby, Christ, can be considered by the fierceness and to the knowledge of Christ being born in reference to the season the child within peoples hearts being born.
