Police Officer Rescues Dogs Trapped in Hot Van

A police officer came to the rescue of two dogs that were trapped in a hot van.

Animals are some of the most extraordinary and fascinating creatures you’ll ever encounter. Those cute, furry and four-legged beings are part of His creation. They were shaped and formed by the same God who put the sun, moon and stars in place.

Because those critters are obviously important to the Lord, they deserve a fair amount of love, care and respect. They should be treated humanely and in a way that brings glory and honor to His name. So, it’s always heartbreaking and likely to anger many people when they witness an animal being treated poorly.

A clip posted on YouTube shows a sad and infuriating incident in which two small dogs were locked inside a hot van in a Las Vegas parking lot. Luckily, a kind and caring police officer arrived on the scene, spotted the animals struggling inside the vehicle and frantically got to work.

The video shows the police officer first attempting to use her hands to push the slightly cracked window down. However, the officer’s initial attempts to free the animals from the balmy van were unsuccessful, so she moved on to more drastic measures.

The concerned officer used a crowbar to try and open the window, eventually shattering the van’s window. The animals were finally freed from their sweltering environment. The temperature in the van, where the two little dogs were trapped, was more than 110 degrees.

After being freed, the animals were taken to get medical treatment and transferred to a shelter. The clip also mentioned that the dog’s owners are under investigation. It’s unclear if any charges will be filed against the individuals.

Thank God for the police officer’s quick and decisive actions. She likely saved the lives of those two little precious pups.

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Heroic Nurses Save Elderly Man's Life

God can create miracles in the least likely of places. In this story, heroic nurses saved an elderly man’s life, and you won’t believe what happened. 

In a remarkable display of quick thinking and compassion, nurse Kalie Kerschbaumer demonstrated the life-saving skills and dedication inherent in her profession. The incident unfolded in Melville, New York when 83-year-old Daniel Greco suddenly collapsed in full cardiac arrest at an ATM. Within 15 seconds, a passerby, Kalie Kershbaumer, noticed him on the floor and rushed into a nearby office, screaming for help.

That office happened to be Northwell Health, filled with nurse practitioners, including Kalie's coworkers, Samantha and Whitney. Witnessing Daniel's fall, Kalie swiftly put down her toddler and ran to his side. Her immediate response and composed demeanor amidst the chaos were crucial. Kalie, Samantha, and Whitney quickly assessed the situation and initiated CPR, a vital intervention that kept blood and oxygen circulating in Daniel’s body.

The presence of these skilled nurses proved to be divine intervention, as they were in the right place at the right time. The nurse practitioners' synchronized efforts were instrumental in reviving Daniel just as paramedics arrived, believing they were put in the right place at the right time just for him. Their expertise and teamwork demonstrated the importance of having trained medical professionals ready to act in emergencies.

Daniel, who had no known heart condition and had recently received a clean bill of health, reflects on the event with disbelief and gratitude. "I see it and I still don’t believe it. I don’t know how you could thank people who saved your life," he said. He later watched the security footage, seeing himself fall to the floor.

"To this day I still see Mr. Greco, something I will carry with me forever," said Kalie. 

Even though Daniel was having a heart attack and going into cardiac arrest, he was fortunate to collapse near an office full of nurse practitioners. "We hear Kalie call for help, we go out there. We see a man on the floor. He’s lifeless and immediately your instincts kick in," said Samantha Meguluevich, a nurse practitioner who helped with CPR on Daniel.

Daniel underwent triple bypass surgery and was able to thank the nurses who saved his life. Kaile’s actions, as well as her coworkers' actions, were not only a testament to their training but also to their deep sense of duty and compassion. 

This medical crisis underscores the invaluable role nurses play in our communities, highlighting how God's divine intervention created a miracle to save Daniel's life through these nurses. Their training, quick thinking, and unwavering dedication can mean the difference between life and death. Their heroism is a poignant reminder of the profound impact healthcare professionals have, often working behind the scenes, ready to step in and make a life-saving difference when it matters most.

Proverbs 19:21 "Many are the plans in a person’s heart, but it is the Lord’s purpose that prevails."

Dad's Heroic Pool Rescue of 2-Year-Old Daughter Caught on Camera

It is every parent’s nightmare to have a water incident with a child. In this video, a dad’s heroic pool rescue of his 2-year-old daughter is caught on camera.

While the families are casually enjoying a holiday celebration, the kids are playing in the pool and the adults are visiting by the poolside. A man is shown asking “Are you having fun,” a precious little girl is in the pool with the other bigger kids in her vest and floaties. The little girl’s name is Mila and she is only the age of 2. She is laughing and practicing swimming. Everything seems like a fun and normal day. 

Suddenly, we see a house camera showing the pool. Later on in the day, Mila was not in her floaties and vest anymore and she got into the pool. The older sister realizes that Mila is in the pool face down and screams as she tries to get to her. The father quickly rushes and jumps into the pool as we see the mother run out of the house. The dad describes that when he got her in the pool, he turned her over to learn that she was blue-gray. He thought that his baby girl had died. The dad is a nurse, and there was, thankfully, another trauma nurse there. The dad began mouth-to-mouth, and then the nurse started chest compressions. 

The mom is seen kneeling next to her daughter praying, she describes the horror and how she turned to God. The dad says when she started crying, he knew that she was going to be ok. She ended up in the hospital overnight for observation. The girl was miraculously ok. She is seen smiling in her hospital bed with her toys and baby doll. They are in Gaston, North Carolina. Mila has made a full recovery and they want everyone to be aware of what happens at the pool. Life is precious, and God sees us even in our scariest moments.

Heroic Officer Runs Into Burning Home to Save Man in Wheelchair

A heroic police officer ran into a burning home to save a man in a wheelchair.

Hero is a word that is used way too often and lightly in conversations and on television. Most individuals who are described as heroes are not heroic in the slightest. People will usually, for some inexplicable reason, say athletes, actors, musicians and even politicians are heroes.

Can we all agree that someone who puts a ball through a hoop, catches a pass, recites lines written by someone else or asks for your vote is not a hero? More often than not, these people aren’t acting out of concern for others. Instead, it’s much more likely that they are motivated by selfish ambition. They may be many things, but a hero is not one of them.

However, some people are heroes—everyday individuals who don’t seek fame, fortune, or adulation. A clip posted on YouTube captured one man’s heroic actions as he put his life on the line to save someone else.

A police officer in New Jersey, on a full sprint, approaches a burning house and goes in after the two people still inside the structure. The officer is immediately met with a house full of smoke, making it nearly impossible to see anything in front of him.

Moments after entering the house, the officer locates the woman and instructs her to “get out, get out, get out.” Even though the officer mentions that the smoke has gotten to the point where he cannot see anything, he continues into the house, searching for the woman’s husband. 

Eventually, the officer is able to pull the man, who uses a wheelchair when he is not at home, outside of the burning building to safety.

That officer is a genuine and actual hero. He put his life on the line for someone else, doing something heroic. 

Proverbs 18:10 “The man of the Lord is a strong town: the upright man running into it is safe.”

Rescuers Save Adorable Kitten Trapped Between Truck's Tires

In a purr-icarious adventure, rescuers save an adorable kitten trapped between between truck tires.A curious kitten found herself in a tight spot between two semi-truck tires. The fluffy white and gray feline's curiosity led her to wedge herself into a predicament that had her stuck fast. A team of determined and fur-midable men gathered to rescue her, but her claws were firmly dug in. She didn’t trust mere hoomans to get her out of her sticky situation. 

The Ohio State Patrol, in a display of remarkable teamwork, joined forces with the truck driver to devise a plan to free the stranded kitten. Their determination and careful precision were the key to their success. With a strategy in place, they set out to remove one of the tires, ensuring the safety of the fluffy stowaway. Their persistence paid off as they gently maneuvered the tire away, finally freeing the kitten from her confined quarters.

It was definitely a claw-ver operation, but they were all relieved to see the kitten safely out of harm's way. The Ohio State Patrol confirmed that the “rescue went purr-fectly” according to plan, ensuring the kitten was unharmed and ready to embark on her next whisker-tingling adventure.

As the fluffy explorer was rescued and taken to an animal rescue shelter, her resilience and bravery were a testament to the indomitable spirit of all creatures. The rescuers, filled with a sense of awe, couldn't help but marvel at her cat-itude. It was a heartwarming ending to a meow-velous rescue mission, a shining example of how, even in the most challenging of situations, with a little teamwork and determination, every creature can find its way back to safety.

Thank the good Lord for the kindness and compassion of good hooman beings who extend God’s love to all creatures, great and small. In this heartwarming rescue, we celebrate the selflessness of this curious kitten’s rescuers in caring for this precious little creature, saving not just her life but all nine of her lives. Through their actions, we see God’s divine grace at work, guiding their hands and hearts to ensure the safety and well-being of one of His creations. 

Psalm 145:9 "The Lord is good to all; he has compassion on all he has made."

Two Heroes Save Unconscious Man on NYC Subway Tracks

In the bustling heart of New York City, amidst the rush of the subway system, a profound act of heroism unfolded that would resonate deeply beyond the crowded platform. Jordan, a tourist from Las Vegas, found himself suddenly thrust into a life-or-death situation when an unconscious man fell onto the tracks. Without a moment's hesitation, Jordan and another stranger leaped into action.

Amidst the chaos of shouting bystanders and frantic calls for help, Jordan acted swiftly, driven by instinct and compassion with another good samaritan. Together, they carefully lifted the unconscious man to safety, their adrenaline-fueled efforts ensuring his swift rescue. Jordan credits the speedy rescue and the ability to lift the unconscious man onto the platform with little effort, thanks to his hobby of rock climbing. 

He also unknowingly put his life on the line because he wasn’t aware of the dangerous third rail’s deadly charge like most New Yorkers do. Once he learned about the danger, he was relieved and felt protected by God’s hands as he crossed the electrically charged rail back and forth to the other side of the rail station multiple times.

As emergency services arrived and the injured man was secured, Jordan's demeanor remained remarkably composed and calm. He returned to the platform's edge, ready to resume waiting for his subway train, though the gravity of his actions began to sink in. He had risked his life multiple times, navigating the electrified rails with the enthusiasm of the rescue.

Later reflections humbled Jordan, realizing God had used him as an angel on earth that night. His selfless bravery illustrated the power of human kindness and the courage that emerges in crisis. In the aftermath, Jordan's story spread widely, touching hearts and inspiring others with its profound message of hope and compassion.

In a world often fraught with turmoil and uncertainty, Jordan's actions serve as a reminder that heroes can emerge from unexpected places. His bravery stands as a testament to the divine potential within each of us to make a difference, to be a light in someone's darkest moment. Jordan, an unwitting angel on earth, exemplified the extraordinary impact of ordinary acts of courage and compassion.

John 15:13 "Greater love has no one than this: to lay down one’s life for one’s friends."

Wildlife Officials Rescue Bear With Milk Can Around Its Neck for Weeks

In the peaceful town of Enosburgh, Vermont, a bear-y unusual rescue mission captured the community’s heart and their funny bone. Wildlife officials rescued a bear with a milk can around its neck for weeks! One of nature’s large and curious creatures recently found itself in a rather sticky situation. Early this spring, locals noticed a black bear sporting a metal milk can around its neck, looking ready to join a space mission. The sight stirred a potent mix of worry and empathy among the townspeople.

Determined to bear the responsibility of helping the distressed animal, the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department sprang into action. Wildlife specialists, game wardens, biologists, and volunteers united to craft a careful plan to free the bear. But let’s be honest—trapping a bear is no picnic—it’s more like a barbecue. Keeping their eyes sharp and paws crossed, they finally caught the bear.

After weeks of bear-y hard work and anticipation, the moment of truth finally arrived. The bear, perhaps lured by the promise of a can-free life, was caught in one of the traps. A team swiftly sedated the bear, covering its eyes and snout with a cloth to keep it calm while carefully cutting away the metal can.

A heartwarming video shared by the Vermont Fish and Wildlife Department documented the moment of liberation. The bear, initially disoriented and possibly pondering its next snack, quickly realized its newfound freedom and darted into the safety of the woods.

This bear-y happy ending highlighted the power of human kindness and community spirit. As it is written in Proverbs 12:10, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals." This scripture was truly lived out in Enosburgh as people worked tirelessly to ensure the bear's well-being.

The bear's ordeal brought the community closer, showcasing the enduring spirit of both human and animal residents of this picturesque Vermont town. The once-distressed bear now symbolizes hope and the power of collective compassion in making the world a bear-ter place.

Proverbs 12:10, "The righteous care for the needs of their animals."

Woman Fearlessly Runs After Bear to Protect Her Dog

A woman fearlessly ran after a large bear to protect her beloved dog from harm.

Animals are unique and fascinating creatures. They all have endless ways to keep us entertained, surprised and laughing. Those furry, four-legged beings also have a way of quickly finding their way into our hearts. It gets to the point that doing or celebrating anything significant without them feels wrong and out of place.

Many people who have animals will often say they are “fur parents” because they have “fur babies.” I think that sounds a bit odd, but to each their own. Just say you love your dog or cat, right?

Regardless, most pet owners would do absolutely anything for their canine or feline, including fighting off a black bear. A clip posted on YouTube shows that was precisely what Bailey Jacobsen did when she saw her German Shepherd, Zeus, being chased by a bear.

The situation begins when Zeus unknowingly encounters a mama bear and her cubs. Mama would not let any harm come to her babies, so she chases Zeus. Zeus, understanding that he is outmatched, starts high-tailing into the woods.

However, before Zeus and the upset mama bear disappeared into the wooded area, Bailey came across the disturbing scene. She immediately started screaming and then gave chase to the bear, hoping to take the bear’s focus off Zeus.

Bailey’s protective maneuver was successful. The mama bear then stopped chasing Zeus and started coming after her. Eventually, Bailey outran the animal, and the bear, caught on camera, stopped.

Thankfully, no one – the mama bear, Zeus or Bailey – was injured during the scary ordeal.

In an interview, Bailey admits that her actions at that moment were instinctual and she did not give it a second thought.

“For me, it was like an instinct,” she said. “It wasn’t even really a second thought, like, ‘Should I chase the bear?’ I’m like, ‘I’m going to.’

Proverbs 12:10 “An upright man has thought for the life of his beast, but the hearts of evildoers are cruel.”

Young Man's Quick Actions Help Save His Classmate's Life

In a heartwarming tale of bravery, a young man’s quick actions save his classmate’s life. You won’t believe what 8-year-old Trey Lewis knew what to do. He emerged as a hero alongside his teacher for assisting him. God works in mysterious ways, often using ordinary people, including children, as vessels for His extraordinary miracles. Throughout history, we see countless examples of everyday individuals, young and old, guided by faith and empowered by God's divine grace, accomplishing the seemingly impossible. From a child’s simple act of kindness that ripples into profound moments of healing and transformation to instances of extraordinary bravery and selflessness in the face of adversity, God's handiwork is evident in the lives of His faithful servants.

The miracle moment of today’s story unfolded during lunchtime at the second-grade corridor, where Trey, with remarkable alertness, noticed a fellow student choking on a granola bar containing cashews. 

Rushing to Assistant Principal David Ravida, Trey's urgent plea for help set a chain of life-saving actions into motion. Ravida swiftly intervened, clearing the obstruction from the choking student's throat, yet sensed something more was amiss.

 With lightning speed, staff recognized telltale signs of a severe allergic reaction and administered life-saving treatment with an EpiPen. David, acknowledging Trey's heroic act, emphasized that heroes come in all forms, whether students, nurses, teachers, or principals. 

The collective efforts of these unsung heroes ensured that the stricken student received timely care, with Trey's selfless actions at the forefront of the rescue. With a modest grin, Trey reflected on the life he helped save, a testament to the profound impact of his bravery and the importance of being vigilant about allergies.

When he was asked about the harrowing moment, Trey said, “If feels that I saved his life.”

This heartwarming story serves as a poignant reminder of the invaluable contributions of healthcare professionals and the everyday heroes who embody the spirit of compassion and heroism in our communities. As we navigate life's journey, may we remain open to God's call to be instruments of His miracles, trusting in His plan and embracing the opportunity to be His hands and feet in a world in need of His love and redemption. Through the eyes and actions of children, we are reminded of the purity and boundless potential of faith, making each miraculous moment even more heartwarming and inspiring.

Matthew 18:3-4 "And he said: 'Truly I tell you, unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever takes the lowly position of this child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.'"

Heroic Man Tackles Armed Attacker And Saves Pastor's Life During Church Service

A heroic man tackled an armed attacker and saved a pastor’s life during the middle of a church service.

Sin is prevalent and pervasive in the world. One doesn’t have to look far to see and understand this to be true. Turn on the nightly news or visit your favorite news site, and you’ll see story after story of people inflicting harm on one another. 

Everything sin has touched since entering the world back in the Garden of Eden has become much worse. Sin has ruined and ruptured relationships and brought about disease and death. Sin has invaded the workplace, the school system and even the church, as one video shows.

A video posted on YouTube shows a man walking up to the front of the Pennsylvania church, pulling out a gun and pointing it at the pastor who stands behind the pulpit. The armed individual then pulls the gun’s trigger, intending to harm and perhaps even kill the pastor. Luckily, God was at work and the criminal’s gun jammed. 

That miraculous misfire gave one heroic man enough time to run, jump up and tackle the would-be shooter to the ground. Once on the ground, the hero, identified as a church deacon, holds the assailant on the ground while the pastor wrestles the gun out of the attacker’s possession.

The hero, Clarence McCallister, said that even though he rushed in heroically to save the day, he still couldn’t believe his eyes.

“I was shocked,” Clarence said. “I’ve never seen nothing like that in my life.”

The church’s pastor, Rev. Glenn Germany, is understandably eternally grateful for Clarence’s actions, which saved his life. 

Praise God that the gun temporarily jammed and for Clarence’s brave actions that helped to prevent a potentially deadly incident. 

Deuteronomy 31:6 “Be strong and take heart, and have no fear of them: for it is the Lord your God who is going with you; he will not take away his help from you.”

Heroic 9-Year-Old Boy Saves His Parents During Tornado

A heroic 9-year-old boy saved his parents during a terrifying encounter with a tornado.

When people are struggling for something to talk about, they generally default to the present weather conditions. However, as some people in some regions of the country, mainly the Midwest, know, weather conditions can change dramatically without notice. 

Sadly, those rapid weather changes can result in storms and other damaging and deadly natural disasters, like tornadoes. Powerful tornadoes can uproot trees, rip through houses, businesses and destroy lives within a matter of seconds. Having an emergency plan is always a good idea in case of a tornado. One can never be too prepared if tragedy were to strike.

However, having an emergency preparedness plan and actually carrying it out and executing it are two entirely different things. People may have all the knowledge in the world about what to do during a tornado but freeze up when a tornado strikes. All that information and preparation would have been for nothing.

One young man, 9-year-old Branson Baker, did not free but instead quickly acted and saved his parents’ lives when their truck crashed during a tornado. The storm uprooted a tree, which hit their vehicle. Branson’s parents were injured and stuck in the truck.

Thankfully, Branson was able to get out of the damaged truck. Instead of remaining frozen in fear, the little guy started a mile-long trek to get help. Eventually, Branson returned to the scene with help for his mother and father.

Branson’s father, Wayne, understands that his son acted when other children his age or adults would have been as brave and heroic. 

“Branson sprung into action really quick,” Wayne said. “He’s a very courageous son. For a 9-year-old boy, not many adults would have done what he did.”

Wayne added that he could not be “more proud of a son that could accept a challenge in that way.”

Branson is undoubtedly a hero, putting aside his fears and trepidations to save the lives of others. 

John 15:13 “Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.”

Heroic Motorists Risked Their Lives To Save Driver From Burning Car

A group of heroic motorists put their lives at risk to help rescue a man from a burning car on the side of the road.

Most people lead hectic lives. Everyone has family and work obligations, which they have to complete in a limited amount of time. That’s why so many individuals have resorted to multitasking. That activity supposedly helps them get more things marked off their to-do list, making the most of their limited time. 

When most people are in a time crunch and focused on quickly getting one thing after another done, they tend to forget about others. They get so wrapped up in their world that they forget about other people's needs. It’s not great to admit, but it most certainly happens. 

However, luckily, a clip posted on YouTube shows a group of individuals who showed enough concern and care for a stranger to put their own lives at risk. They weren’t too focused on their world and their problems to help someone whose life was in danger.

In the short, one-minute-long clip, a car is on the side of an interstate in Minnesota with flames all around it. Smoke wafts into the air while the vehicle’s driver remains in the car. This is no doubt a life-or-death situation.

Seconds into the video, several people stop their cars and run toward the scary, fiery scene. Soon, more and more people are near the car, working desperately to open the car’s door. But their initial efforts weren't successful.

Then, they are able to pry the driver’s door open slightly. Another man uses an object to bash the window. Someone else, a Department of Transportation employee, comes along and is able to break the window. Through the window, the concerned and heroic group of motorists pull the man out of the vehicle.

As they pull the man out of the car, the flames shoot up even higher, basically engulfing the vehicle.

According to the clip, a follow-up report stated that, amazingly, there were no injuries. 

Praise God for those motorists’ heroic efforts and the fact that the driver was not even injured. 

John 15:13 “Greater love has no man than this, that a man gives up his life for his friends.”

Two Heroic Barbers Jump Into Action And Save Child From Walking Into Traffic

Two heroic barbers immediately emerged when they saw a youngster walking toward a busy intersection and saved the child.

Hero is a word that is used way too much today. It has been so watered down that the qualifications to become a hero are nonexistent. It’s an essentially meaningless term, mainly due to how excessively the word is used today.

For most of society, one must do only a few things to become a hero. First, getting elected to public office while promising that you’re the only one who can bring about good or change and then underdelivering is, surprisingly, a hero to some people. Other people believe those who catch a game-winning touchdown or score a certain number of points in a basketball game are heroes. Still, some individuals think someone on television who memorizes words written by someone else is a hero.

Of course, none of those types of people are heroes at all. They aren’t doing anything for the good of anyone else. They are acting out of selfish ambition and conceit. 

However, a video posted on social media displays two men who are genuine, actual heroes. Two men in Connecticut were cutting hair in their barbershop when they looked outside and saw a girl running down the sidewalk by herself, headed right for a busy intersection.  

Without thinking twice, they dropped their scissors and rushed out the doors. One of the men is able to reach the toddler seconds before she enters the busy intersection. 

One of the men admitted that after seeing the little girl headed right for traffic, his first thought was about her welfare.

“My initial reaction, it was just, ‘I gotta get there,” he said.

They didn’t tell others how great they were or add points to a scoreboard. Instead, they saw a need and immediately acted without concern for their safety, thinking only about the child.

Jude 1:23 “And to some give salvation, pulling them out of the fire; and on some have mercy with fear, hating even the clothing which is made unclean by the flesh.”

Fast Food Worker's Quick Response Saves Child's Life In Drive-Thru

A fast food worker’s quick-thinking and swift actions saved the life of a child who had become unresponsive while in the drive-thru lane.

In America, time is money. People are constantly trying to do whatever they can to maximize their time. The more we can accomplish, the better, right? We’ve even come up with a term defining how individuals do this: multi-tasking.

Fast food consumption is another method of maximizing and making the most of our time. Most Americans visit fast food establishments for a quick bite to eat. However, as a clip posted on social media displays, one woman got much more than that when she visited a Taco Bell.

Natasha Long was in a drive-thru at a Taco Bell in Pennsylvania when she experienced a parent’s worst nightmare. Her 11-month-old child stopped breathing and started turning blue. Natasha described her child as “lifeless” in that moment.

However, one Taco Bell employee was placed in the right place at the right time. The location’s manager, Becky Arbaugh, said she threw off her headset and ran out to Natasha and the unresponsive child. 

Becky immediately started doing chest compressions on the infant. Moments later, Becky was able to get the child breathing again. 

The child was rushed to the hospital and is said to be doing well. Natasha is, of course, eternally grateful for Becky’s heroic actions. But Becky said she was just trying to do what she could to help someone who badly needed it.

“I just thought of myself as a mom with another mom that needed help,” Becky said.

Bad things happen in life, and some of them are entirely unavoidable. However, God often places the right people in the correct position at the right time to help us through those trials and hardships.

James 2:8 “But if you keep the greatest law of all, as it is given in the holy Writings, ‘Have love for your neighbor as for yourself,’ you do well.”

Heroic College Students Rescue Mom And Two Children From Sinking Car

In a world where sisterhood is often celebrated for its bonds of friendship and camaraderie, a group of five heroic college students rescue mom and two children from a sinking car!

A group of five sorority sisters from the University of Georgia prove that sisterhood can also mean selflessness, courage, and heroism. Dubbed ‘The Fearless Five,’ Molly McCollum, Jane McArdle, Eleanor Cart, Clarke Jones, and Kaitlyn Iannace became beacons of hope and inspiration after their extraordinary act of bravery rescued mother Cori Craft and her two young sons from a sinking vehicle in a creek.

It was a fateful day as the sisters embarked on a journey to celebrate St. Patrick's Day and decided to take a detour to satisfy their craving for cheesy biscuits. Little did they know that their detour through a rural area would lead them to a moment that would define their lives forever. 

As they drove, they witnessed a terrifying light and a cloud of dust, prompting them to investigate. What they discovered was a car sinking rapidly into the water, with Cori and her children trapped inside.

In a moment of instinct and compassion, the sisters sprang into action. Without hesitation, they called for help and plunged into the cold water to rescue the family. Despite the danger and uncertainty, they remained steadfast in their mission to save lives. As they quickly brought Cori’s older son to safety, the youngest remained trapped underwater, buckled in his car seat, his life hanging in the balance.

"Time is ticking. It had been like 4 to 5 minutes … it was just, like, every second mattered," Molly recalled of the scary moment. 

With every second crucial, the sisters refused to give up. Drawing upon their collective strength and training, they worked tirelessly to free the young boy from his car seat. Clarke then began performing CPR on the little boy. And when all seemed lost, their prayers were answered as the boy started breathing again, a moment of sheer relief and joy for all involved.

Through the seemingly ordinary cravings of these extraordinary young women, God intervened to turn them into instruments of His grace and mercy. Their swift and selfless actions saved a family from tragedy and also served as a powerful testament to the strength of sisterhood and the guiding hand of God. 

In a world often fraught with uncertainty, their story stands as a beacon of hope, reminding us that even in our most unexpected moments, God can use us to bring light and salvation to those in need. As we reflect on their heroic deeds, let us be inspired to embrace the call to compassion and kindness. We know that with God by our side, we, too, can become vessels of His love and instruments of His peace.

Deuteronomy 31:6 "Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you."

Coach Bruce Pearl's Incredible Friendship With Young Cancer Survivor Transcends The Court

College basketball coach Bruce Pearl’s incredible friendship with a young cancer survivor transcends the basketball court.

Cancer is a horrible disease. It does nothing but cause hurt and pain. It destroys and steals individuals from their families and friends. There is nothing good about the disease. 

As bad as cancer is already, it’s exponentially worse whenever it’s a childhood who receives a devastating cancer diagnosis. Those youngsters are supposed to be outside getting dirty while running around and playing with friends. They aren’t supposed to be undergoing chemotherapy and being prepped for surgery. Kids should have their childhood to be kids, not be in a fight for their life.

Sam Cunningham, as a 12-year-old, was diagnosed with leukemia. But during his cancer fight, Auburn University basketball coach Bruce Pearl recorded a video for the young man.

In the clip, Bruce gave the young man an upbeat, uplifting motivational message. Bruce informed Sam, “you’re going to be this, son,” and “cancer picked the wrong hombre.” 

 

Sam found both humor and strength in Bruce’s kind and encouraging words. The young man admits that he would continually draw strength from Bruce’s words during the darkest days of his battle. They kept him going and fighting.

As the clip posted on YouTube points out, Bruce and Sam eventually met and struck up a friendship. At one point, Bruce told young Sam that after he beat cancer, he would attend Auburn University and become a staff member. Flash forward a couple of years, and that is precisely what has happened.

Sam is now a freshman at Auburn, where he is the team’s manager, working alongside Bruce as promised. 

Bruce added that when he prays to God, he asks Him for Sam’s continued health and safety.

“In my prayers, it’s ‘God, don’t let this thing relapse. Take me. Let Sam live.’” Bruce said. 

What an incredible story about love, friendship, and keeping one’s word. 

Proverbs 18:24: “A man of many companions may be ruined, but there is a friend who sticks closer than a brother.”

Hundreds Come Together To Help Legally Blind Man With Commute

Hundreds of people have come together to help a man who is legally blind with his commute to work.

There will never be too much kindness and love in the world. Given the state and condition of our fallen world and the many hurting and broken people around us, it’s impossible to be too loving, caring and kind. Anyone and everyone can benefit from an unexpected act of kindness and love.

Those acts of kindness and love can and do come in many different shapes, sizes and forms. Kindness and love can be shown in a million different ways. To be kind and show someone the love of Christ, all anyone has to do is spot a need and then act accordingly. However, as Jesus mentioned in Matthew, “The harvest is truly plentiful, but the laborers are few.”

As a video posted on YouTube explains, people in one Arkansas town saw a need and acted. They have shown one man unbelievable kindness and love. 

Bill Moczulewski is a janitor and is dedicated to his job. Bill is also legally blind and unable to drive a car. However, this does not stop Bill from going to work. He would walk five miles every day in all kinds of weather. 

One day, Christy Conrad spotted Bill on his commute to work and offered him a ride. During this ride, Christy learned that her passenger is legally blind and does this same five-mile walk in all types of weather. 

So, to help Bill out, Christ started a Facebook group, hoping to find people to give him a ride to work. The response to the Facebook group was overwhelming. The group has expanded to 1,500 people. 

Bill says now he never has a problem getting a ride. He adds that the person behind the wheel is never the same. It’s always someone different stopping to help Bill.

“There’s a lot of good people in this world, all over the place, you know?” Bill said. 

This all started because one woman was kind enough to pull over and offer a man walking down the street a ride to work. She saw a need and took action. 

Ephesians 4:32 “And be kind to one another, full of pity, having forgiveness for one another, even as God in Christ had forgiveness for you.”
