The talented voices of the One Voice Children’s Choir spread a message of hope with ‘Brave.’
This inspiring tune was a hit for singer-songwriter Sara Bareilles in 2013. It immediately went to the top of the music charts and led to numerous covers. The beautiful lyrics remind us all to stand up and step out.
“You can be amazing
You can turn a phrase into a weapon or a drug
You can be the outcast
Or be the backlash of somebody's lack of love
Or you can start speaking up”
Today, the One Voice Children’s Choir is putting their own spin on this popular song and it’s absolutely incredible. This choir is a talented group of youth with a mission to use their voices to spread positivity to the world. And that’s exactly what they are doing with this tune.
“Say what you wanna say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave
With what you want to say
And let the words fall out
Honestly, I wanna see you be brave”
On their YouTube page, the group wrote about the message behind this song selection. “Remember that exercising courage allows ordinary people to do extraordinary things. Life really does begin outside of our comfort zones!”
As you listen to these lyrics, be reminded that we can face any obstacle with God by our side. He gives us the strength and courage to stand up and face each day. Who else feels His love as you listen to ‘Brave?’

Today, we’re taking a look back at some of the most famous scenes from the program that had us all reaching for the tissues. For example, the terrifying moment when Mary loses her sight and cries out for her father. As they share an emotional embrace, Mary clings to her dad for his help and comfort.
Then, there is the scene where Michael and Laura must say goodbye to the family dog, Jack. This is one moment that truly resonates with so many viewers as we have walked through this same experience.
Lastly, there is the touching moment where Michael says ‘farewell’ to his home and Laura. There are so many memorable scenes in this show and this was just the dose of nostalgia that I needed today.

Talented husband and wife duo perform a stunning rendition of ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love’ by Elvis Presley.
This iconic tune was originally recorded in 1961 for Elvis’ hit film ‘Blue Hawaii.’ It skyrocketed to the top of the charts and spurred countless covers from artists all around the world.
“Wise men say only fools rush in
But I can't help falling in love with you
Oh, shall I stay, would it be a sin
Oh, if I can't help falling in love with you?”
Marnie and Patrick Laird are a talented husband and wife team with life-long musical roots. Both Marnie and Patrick are classically trained musicians who met while attending a Chamber Music Festival.
Over the years, they delighted the Internet with their classical crossovers such as ‘The Sound Of Silence’ and ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’ Known by their stage name, Brooklyn Duo, these two have garnered millions of views across social media and the number keeps climbing.
Today, they’re taking on another classic with the iconic tune ‘Can’t Help Falling In Love.’
“Like a river flows, surely to the sea
Darling, so it goes, some things are meant to be
Take my hand, take my whole life too
Oh, for I can't help falling in love with you”
As you listen to this melody, you can truly feel yourself being transported back in time. This Elvis classic is an all-time favorite for a reason and it was definitely the dose of nostalgia that we all need right now.

There is nothing like kayaking in cool water on a hot summer day. Usually, you can bring some lunch, and make a picnic as well. Kayaking can be a relaxing way to stay cool. But for Peter Joyce, this became a day he would always remember as the day a gator charged at his boat.
The outcome of the attack is nothing short of a miracle. This video was uploaded on Youtube and was quickly viewed more 350,000 times in a short time. The viral video shows how truly terrifying wild creatures can be.
The footage starts off showing Peter paddling in what appears to be peaceful, calm waters of the Waccamaw River. Watching the video was like a serene virtual escape--it’s truly beautiful! But about 50 seconds into the video, chaos erupted.
“I thought I heard a fish jump to my left--turned out not to be a fish,” Peter recalled, adding, “About three feet from the kayak I made out the head of the gator and that was it. I had no time to react.”
The alligator appeared quickly and seemingly out of nowhere! The creature tipped over Peter’s kayak, sending him into the dark water beneath him.
He was only under the water for a few seconds before flipping his boat back over, anxiously looking around to see if the deadly reptile was going to attack him for a second time.
Loosening his boat from the branches using the oars, Peter then turned around and paddled back to where he came from. Peter was lucky because he wasn’t injured in the attack, nor was his kayak damaged. Thank God for this! Things could’ve turned deadly very quickly.
The events that unfolded really rattled Peter. ”It could have been a lot worse,” he admitted. “Usually they make a splash or move and make a ruckus in the water, but this was a continuous charge from about 20 feet away. It definitely made me think a little differently about what their capabilities are,” Peter added.
Peter’s description of his video shows that he’s recovered his sense of humor after his harrowing ordeal. He wrote, “While paddling the upper Waccamaw in N.C. I received a warm welcome from the wildlife.” I’m not sure the gator was greeting him or trying to eat him, but it’s good that Peter can make light of his situation now!
Peter’s story is an important reminder to be vigilant of wildlife, and stay safe around parts that are populated by alligators. Always proceed with caution as they can become very aggressive creatures, and you can’t always predict their behavior.
Reflections about the small gate and narrow road to Heaven, and The Sower and The Seed. Almost like a Cliff's Notes study of these two vital messages from scripture.

This iconic song was written by Freddie Mercury for Queen’s 1975 album, ‘A Night At The Opera.’ Since that time, many famous artists have lent their vocals to the tune. Decades later, it is still a popular song for covers and auditions.
“Is this the real life?
Is this just fantasy?
Caught in a landslide
No escape from reality
Open your eyes
Look up to the skies and see
I'm just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
Because I'm easy come, easy go
A little high, little low
Anyway the wind blows, doesn't really matter to me”
Marnie and Patrick Laird are a talented husband and wife team with deep musical roots. Both Marnie and Patrick are classically trained musicians who met while attending a Chamber Music Festival in 2006.
Over the years, they have risen in Internet fame for their stunning classical crossovers. Known by their stage name, Brooklyn Duo, these two have garnered millions of views for their viral performances including stunning renditions of ‘The Sound Of Silence’ and ‘Hallelujah.’
Now, they are enlisting the help of the Dover Quartet for a special performance of ‘Bohemian Rhapsody.’

In this moving performance, The Voice Australia contestant Johnny Manuel stuns the crowd with his cover of ‘A Change Is Gonna Come’ by Sam Cooke. “There been times that I thought I wouldn't last for long Now I think I'm able to carry on It's been a long, a long time coming But I know a change's gonna come, oh, yes, it will” “All I know is that I will never stop fighting for this, because I know inside of myself that I was put here to do this,” says Johnny right before going on stage for his performance. “I just want to make it to the top 4.” His performance is incredible, and it leaves him and a lot of the judges in tears. And Kelly Rowland, one of the judges on the show, has some heartfelt words to share with Johnny after he finishes the song. “It is time for a change. Everywhere. And it starts with everybody. And it starts with being bold. And it starts with just calling things out the way you see them, even when it’s uncomfortable,” Kelly says, “And I feel like you just called so much out with just the passion and the heart and the integrity and the authenticity it is to sing that song. Cause that’s a hard song to sing. But you sang it from the depths of your soul, and I felt like our ancestors could feel it…it was that palpable. It was almost like my soul needed to hear it, and I genuinely appreciate you singing that song the way you did.” What a powerful moment, and what a powerful song. Music has such a way of bringing out people’s feelings and capturing heartfelt emotions. May Johnny keep using his voice to bring to light things that matter and uplifting others with his beautiful talent!
It was a heart stopping moment captured on camera when a 2-year-old is miraculously saved from a 4-story fall.
A crowd formed in Huai’an, China after spotting a toddler dangling from an air-conditioning unit of a residential property. According to reports, the young boy was left home alone and managed to use a stool to climb out of a window and onto the AC unit.
When neighbors saw the boy, they quickly formed a circle in case the 2-year-old fell. And one stranger stepped up with outstretched arms for the terrified toddler.
As the little boy’s grip faded, he tumbled down four stories, flipping over multiple times. Thankfully, the brave stranger was right there to catch the toddler. It was truly a moment that had me on the edge of my seat, but thankfully, there were so many good Samaritans that stepped up in this young boy’s time of need.
I’m sure he was so scared as he dangled from the AC unit, but it was comforting to know that so many people were there to help. This is just like how God is always by our side.
As we walk through life, there may be times when we feel scared or alone. But it is so important to remember that God is there with His arms outstretched, ready to catch us anytime we fall.
We are blessed to have His safety and strength with us each step of the way. I am so thankful for this kind hero and I am so thankful to have a hero in our Lord, Jesus Christ.
