A volunteer police officer in Arizona is being hailed a hero after noticing something out of the ordinary and springing into action. As he was pulling out of a gas station, this “VIP”Officer (Volunteer in Protection) noticed a moving tractor trailer had obviously forgotten some precious cargo.
As the volunteer police officer ended his break, his first task back on duty was one he will never forget. A big rig truck was pulling out of the gas station with a dog still leashed to it’s back bumper! The 19-week-old puppy was desperately running trying to keep up with it’s owner. Without hesitating, this officer began to blow the horn in hopes of getting the drivers attention. When that didn’t work right away, he turned on his sirens and lights.
The entire incident was captured on VIP Steve Edgar’s dash camera. According to the local officials, "Patrol VIPs act only as eyes and ears when they are in the field, but this exception to use lights and siren to save this dog from injury or death has been deemed warranted by YCSO Command Staff." If this wasn’t a good reason to use lights and sirens, we don’t know what is! This quick thinking VIP saved the canine from being accidentally killed.
When the tractor trailer pulled over, the officer found a very grateful and worried driver. This was deemed a complete accident and no charges are being faced. We are sure that the driver is immensely grateful to this helpful volunteer police officer for his determination to help! The little puppy is fine and probably received some extra love and treats from his owner!
Singer/Songwriter and former American Idol Contestant,Tori Kelly opens up about her life in the music industry and how she began to doubt herself. It’s been said often that the life of a performer is very difficult. These talented individuals are constantly being told what they did wrong and are compared to other artists. Tori Kelly was no exception and found that overtime those critiques led her to being crippled by other’s words and not focus on her own strengths.
In a White Chair Film, Tori shared that as a young 12-year-old girl entering the music industry she had a lot of hopes and dreams. After signing a record label early on and having it later taken away with little warning, Tori was crushed. She struggled to find another executive producer to sign her. The reasons were often the same – “you’re so reserved, you’re too shy, quiet… they wanted me to be this outgoing bubbly personality which I didn’t have. That’s when I really started comparing myself to other people.”
As Tori faced more rejection after being sent home on American Idol, she began to journal and sometimes those were prayers: “Lord, guide me, I don’t know who I am without singing… If this doesn’t work out, what am I going to do?” Emotionally, Tori shared that she began to realize that she wasn’t going to be those other people. God had created her the way He intended, with her own personal set of gifts and strengths. She offered this encouraging message to other young girls:
“...be the girl that God uniquely made as YOU, and you don’t have to compare yourself to anybody.”
In her journaling and prayer time, Tori offered her path completely to God.
“God, You said You had a plan for my life and I’m just gonna trust that.”
That’s when Tori shared that doors began to open. Tori began to write her own music and post her videos online. She found herself able to share messages that were uplifting and encouraging. God was using her experience to shape her and help her see that He made he
This family got a big surprise passenger in the family van – there was a trespassing bear trapped inside! A neighbor contacted the Lissenden family to let them know that their van door was sitting open, and there was trash on the ground next to it. Of course, they weren’t aware of having left their driveway in that condition, but what they found next was an even bigger shock.
"We were up at my parents' house [In Asheville, N.C.] �� they were out of town — and the (van) doors were closed but unlocked. All the doors were closed," Nicole Minkin Lissenden told the Citizen Times. "I went up and looked and I was like, 'Oh, that's embarrassing."
Naturally, she closed the door and picked up the trash. At 2:30 in the afternoon, she didn’t think about anything being out of the ordinary. What she didn’t know was that she had trapped the culprit in her vehicle. When she went back out 30 mins later, the windows were fogged and showed very large paw prints. As the bear was more upset, it had moved around and set off the alarm. Nicole called her husband, Alex, a neighbor, and Animal Services. What happened next was caught on video.
They first tried to open the sliding door using the remote, but it was now broken by the bear. Alex had to go up to the van to physically unlock it. Because of the angle of the driveway, every time he opened the door, it would shut close again. But when the bear saw the window crack, that’s when he realized his escape plan and shattered the glass. As casually as he appeared, he sauntered off.

Josh Groban recently released another moving song “River” for his new album Bridges. This song could be an anthem for finding hope when it seems all is lost. In true Groban form, the music is just as emotionally moving as the lyrics themselves. Working through a chorus explaining the doubts and fears that so many share, Groban builds to the uplifting chorus:
“So I walk down to the river,
Where the troubles, they can't find me,
Let the waters there remind me,
The sun will be there when we wake,
I walk down to the river,
Though I might not understand it,
It's not always as we planned it,
But we grow stronger when we break,
So I walk down to the river,
I walk down to the river”
Groban said on his social media page that “River” was a “really personal song”. The official video for “River” opens with a dark shadowy Groban singing about difficult times for a man who feels alone but cannot find help. It is in the river that he finds his comfort and peace.
“For people who suffer from anxiety, suffer from depression, suffer from those things, it can feel very isolating...when you go there and write about those things, you realize you’re actually not alone... Everybody to a certain degree, goes through those kind of things. ”
Josh Groban has been an uplifting voice for many with his music. Often the lyrics offer perspective on love, loss, pain, and encouragement. His unique vocals and passion for his music lead the listener through each song and the emotions that come with it. The “River” is just one of those songs and hopefully will become a voice of encouragement for those who are battling tough times – there is shelter in the river.
“God’s blessings are like a river. They fill the city of God with joy. That city is the holy place where the Most High God lives.” Psalm 46:4
Hollywood actor and “Guardians of the Galaxy” star, Chris Pratt recently shared how his faith is impacted by being in Hollywood.
Talking about his experiences in Hollywood, Chris was clear to say that he personally has never felt slighted or shamed for his faith. For this actor, Hollywood has been so open to any form of religion that he has always felt very free to share his personal message of faith and the power of prayer. In his interview with The Associated Press, Pratt said ““I think that there's this narrative that exists out there that Hollywood is anti-Christian or anti-religious, but it's just not the case. They are kind of not anti-anything.””
Pratt continued that for him, speaking about his faith now from a public platform is the right thing to do. The actor shared that he feels called to be a voice. And that no matter what is said about him, he will continue speaking to whomever will listen. He feels that Hollywood is encouraging of being “authentic” to oneself and for Pratt that means being in touch with his faith.
“It is an authentic thing for me. That kind of message it might not be for everybody but there is a group of people for whom that message is designed…For me it’s authentic to be pro-Christian, pro-Jesus”
The actor was been vocal about his faith recently at the MTV Award Show as well. “God is real. God loves, you, God wants the best for you,” he said. “Believe that. I do.” His message was a part of “Nine rules to live by according to Chris Pratt”. He also included the importance of prayer and accepting grace in one’s life. This actor isn’t mincing words when it comes to sharing his faith!
This adorable 53-year-old Mom just blew the X Factor judges away with her truly stunning voice. Within the first few notes, Jacqueline Faye had the judges and audience completely enraptured in her audition!
A self-professed Robbie Williams fan (judge and UK pop icon), Jackie was clearly a bit nervous singing in front of her idol. But those fears faded once she began talking about things familiar. Jackie is a Mom of three from a farm in Oxfordshire, England. She adorably introduced herself to the judges and told of all her loving animals waiting back home for her under the care of supportive husband, Bobbie.
When Jacqueline walked onto the stage, as typical with older contestants, the crowd and judges were unsure of what she had to offer. The behind-the-scenes clips had viewers at home completely sold before she even sang one note. There is truly something captivating about Jackie! Singing “You’re My World” by Cilla Black, before the end of the first verse it was clear that Jackie had surprised the judges.
”You're my world,
you're every breath I take,
You're my world,
every move I make,
Other eyes see the stars up in the skies,
But for me they shine within your eyes”
Simon especially looked like he had been “Susan Boyle-d” again! (Susan Boyle was an older contestant on Britain’s Got Talent in 2009 and wowed judges with an unexpected voice.) Jackie’s girls stood backstage in full confidence that their Mom had what it takes to knock everyone’s socks off – and boy did she! What hadn’t shared on camera previously was that she is no stranger to the stage or singing; Jackie had a professional singing career in the past. Once she began singing, the nerves faded for complete confidence in her craft! We were instant fans and can’t wait to hear what Jacqueline will pull out next!
All of God’s creatures are absolutely amazing. He put so much time and detail into creating each one and they are beautiful to witness. One of the most majestic animals in the sea is the whale. These incredible creatures can come in all different sizes but they are truly spectacular to see in person. People come from all over the world to take in these wonders. Sightseers will take cruises or boats to see all different species of ocean creatures, including whales, and they get to capture once-in-a-lifetime memories.
Tourists in Nova Scotia recently came across a mesmerizing moment during a boat cruise with the Ocean Explorations Zodiac Whale Cruises. While they were sailing, three whales swimming near their boat greeted the passengers. Edmond Giroux was a passenger on the cruise and was able to capture every incredible moment on film. Just watch as all three whales leap out of the water to the amazement of each passenger on board. It’s so incredible rare to see three whales breach at the same time.
I know this is a sight that everyone is going to remember for a long time and I’m so glad that Edmond was able to hit record at just the right time. Moments like this truly remind me of God’s incredible touches on this Earth and how His creatures never cease to amaze me. There is beauty all around us and we have Him to thank for it all. I sure hope I’m able to see something like this in person one day.
