Christian musician and the lead singer of the band CAIN, Logan Cain, stated how he has been able to humble himself and love and help someone battling addiction. 

The world is full of imperfect, flawed people. There are individuals all around who are fighting personal battles. Whether they are struggling with alcohol, pornography, gambling or something else entirely, no one is perfect. People have problems and addictions. 

Logan, in a clip posted on YouTube, mentioned how he first dealt with and interacted with the woman who would eventually become his wife. He says that his wife had an “irregular relationship with alcohol.” He mentions a situation, before they were married, when she blacked out outside a football stadium and woke up in an ambulance.

Logan admits that her issue with alcohol was something totally foreign to him. He states that he did not understand the concept of addiction as a disease. He couldn’t understand how someone couldn’t just kick their addiction. Did they love the addiction more than him?

However, Logan stated that he had to change his thinking.

“This thing sits at the driver's seat of someone’s life,” Logan said. “And it, you know, this isn’t them choosing something over you. And I think, for me, once I was able to get there mentally, you’re so much more likely to, like, lock arms and walk through this thing together.”

He added that when loving someone battling addiction, there is a goal that everyone must have in mind. It’s one that removes self-centered thinking from someone's battle with addiction. 

“What we truly have to hope for is that that person falls in love with Jesus, and ends up looking more like Jesus, not more like me,” Logan said. 

Again, Logan reiterates how important it is to help someone with addiction and make it about them and not us. 

“Once I was able to humble myself and like I said, realize that that the best thing I can do for someone that is drowning is to get in and swim with them, “Logan said. “Then it was no longer about me. Their recovery was not about me, and that was kind of when the switch flipped.”

Galatians 6:2 “Take on yourselves one another’s troubles, and so keep the law of Christ.”

Two award-winning figure skaters displayed their immense skills on the ice while delivering a beautiful and emotional routine to a song from the popular film “Sound of Freedom.”

Figure skaters are most certainly athletes in every sense of the word. Becoming a world-class figure skater requires total and unyielding commitment, loads of talent and thousands of hours of highly-intense, super-focused practice. However, pulling off a winning routine also requires that the figure skaters have some charisma and be able to connect with the audience on an emotional level. 

Emily Chan and Spencer Howe thoroughly demonstrated they are skilled skaters and entertainers. The duo turned in a stunningly beautiful routine, set to the song “Sound of Freedom” by Justin Jesso, that achieved both tasks – as a skater and an entertainer. They both adequately displayed their skills as figure skaters. But they also allowed the music to guide them, timing their moves to fit with the sound and feel of the song. 

Their inspiring and heartfelt performance certainly struck a chord with the spectators as they responded with a healthy round of applause and cheers. 

The video’s description on YouTube points out their routine happened at  the 51st annual “An Evening with Champions.” The yearly event, which takes place at Harvard University, aims to raise money to help fight childhood cancer. 

Additionally, following their routine, Spencer mentioned he and Emily were also skating for one more reason. They are hoping to raise awareness of another cause as well. 

“We also want to say that, like that program, we hope that everyone enjoyed it,” Spencer said. “We dedicated it for the “Sound of Freedom,” which is spreading the message on child trafficking. And I don’t know if you’ve seen it, but it’s a great film.”

1 Corinthians 9:25 “And every man who takes part in the sports has self-control in all things. Now, they do it to get a crown which is of this world, but we for an eternal crown.”

Prayers really do get answered. A 12-year-old is in tears after finding out he’s going to be a big brother. 

Being an only child can feel like a miserable existence at times. There’s no one to play with, and you’re in charge of keeping yourself entertained. Plus, there are only your parental units to contend with on holidays and family vacations. But having a sibling is like having a built-in best friend. Sure, the childhood years are filled with pranks, frustration, and angst, but you know you wouldn’t trade your sibling for the world now that you’re all grown up. 

Still, some people have the opinion that siblings are the worst. It makes me wonder what kind of pranks their siblings pulled. It has to be something worse than shaving off eyebrows while you’re asleep or making copies of your diary to share with the whole entire high school. But maybe I’m the only one who had these experiences with my siblings. 

Desiree knew her son had been praying for a long time to have a sibling. At the age of 12, he figured it would become an unanswered prayer. But when his mother learned of this unexpected and welcome pregnancy, she couldn’t wait to tell her son. She danced with joy as she had a special shirt made for the happy surprise. The shirt for her son read, “Big brother, finally!” 

It was an incredible mother-son moment captured on video and watched by millions. Desiree calls her son into the kitchen to tell him she has a surprise. First, she reminds him how she’s been sick, and she wasn’t sure why. 

Then she reveals she knows the reason, but he needs to close his eyes because it is a surprise. Smiling from ear to ear Desiree dresses him in the special shirt. In anticipation, her son is bewildered and wondered how feeling sick can be a good thing until he looks down and reads the message on the shirt in utter astonishment. 

At first he’s speechless as the news settles in with blessed joy. He is finally going to be a big brother. According to Desiree’s TikTok, they are excitedly waiting for the arrival of their precious baby girl. Her son will definitely be the perfect protector of a big brother. Children are such a gift from the Lord. 

Children are a gift from the Lord; they are a reward from him,” Psalm 127:3. 

Check out this heartwarming video of a groom singing a beautiful rendition of ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ during his wedding.

“My talented husband, Brian McFadden, sang this at our wedding in 2016 at Saint Joseph's University Chapel,” reads the caption of the video on YouTube.

Brain walks up to the podium looking sharp in his wedding suit, and starts to sing out ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ with his wonderful voice.

“Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come; thy will be done; on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation; but deliver us from the evil one. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.”

What a beautiful performance, and one that his wife and the guests at the wedding must have truly appreciated.

“A magnificent voice. What an incredible gift to God and his bride,” writes one person on YouTube after watching the video. “May you share many years of happiness and blessings together.”

“That just took my breath away. I love the Lord's Prayer. Well done,” comments another person online.

This famous scripture known as ‘The Lord’s Prayer’ is found in the Gospels of Matthew and Luke, and we see how Jesus is teaching his disciples how they should pray when we read through the text. The six steps taught in the prayer include 1) address God’s rightful place as the Father, 2) worship and praise God for who He is and all that He has done, 3) acknowledge that it is God’s will and plans that are in control and not our own, 4) ask God for the things that we need, 5) confess our sins and repent, and 6) request protection and help in overcoming sin and Satan's attacks on us.

We hope that you enjoyed watching this video today and it was able to bring you some encouragement.

A young man from Canada thrilled and amazed spectators with his astounding ice skating routine, showing off his immense level of talent on the frozen, slippery surface while skating to Benjamin Clementine’s song, “Nemesis.”

Ice skaters are a special kind of athlete. Yes, to reach, remain and compete at the highest level requires loads of skill, intense focus, commitment and thousands of hours practicing on the ice. But ice skaters must also possess a fair amount of charisma and flair. Skaters have to know how to captivate and play to an audience. 

In a clip posted on YouTube, Vlad Tchernov put on a dazzling skating routine during the 2023 American Contemporary Skating Festival Showcase. The young man effortlessly moves around on the ice. Early in the routine, the young man ceases skating. Instead, he glides about the ice with such grace and athleticism that it’s more of a dance number. 

Additionally, the choreography and the moves Vlad performs as part of his routine were entirely designed by him, according to the video’s description. 

Once his routine comes to an end, the spectators let the young man know how they felt about his efforts. They explode with a thunderous round of applause and cheers. 

Many who commented on Vlad’s awe-inspiring and mesmerizing routine mentioned how much they loved it.

“Smooth as butter! Loved his musical expression & those nice deep edges! Bravo, young man!” one person posted.

“This is one of the most innovative and inspiring and excellent performances I have seen! Wow! Thank you so much for posting,” a second individual added.

“Vlad is outstanding, I truly lost myself for 4 minutes! TY for your unique photography, & uploads! Kudos to you & Vlad,” someone else wrote.  

“Fabulous! I loved his creative choreography! Very unusual indeed. Thanks,” another YouTuber user commented. 

1 Corinthians 9:24 “Do you not see that in a running competition, all take part, but only one gets the reward? So, let your minds be fixed on the reward.”

An entire family showed off their moves and fancy footwork at a young woman’s wedding reception during the traditional father-daughter dance.

Weddings and all the festivities surrounding the ceremony are instances when precious, cherished moments are created. From the bride walking down the aisle, to exchanging vows and the throwing of the bouquet, there are dozens of opportunities to create special memories.

As a video posted on YouTube shows, a family used a traditional dance at a wedding reception to create a memory that no one, especially the bride and her family, will ever forget. Typically, the dance between the bride and her father is to a slow, sappy song that holds a special meaning to them. But one family turned that dance on its head. 

Instead of a slow song about “daddy’s little girl,” the bride and her father strutted their stuff in front of friends and family to Bobby Darin’s classic, “Mack the Knife.” It’s clear very early on that both the bride and her father have skills when it comes to the dance floor. 

They swing and sway back and forth effortlessly, displaying their coordination and sure-footedness. Those attendees standing around watching love it. There are several very audible shouts and cheers from the onlookers. 

But about 30 seconds into the clip, dad gets pushed aside as one young man walks onto the dance floor, indicating he is taking over for now. The father-daughter dance has now turned into a sibling dance routine. The bride’s brother also moves about the dance floor with confidence and grace, wowing the people witnessing the sight before them. 

Then around the 1:10-minute mark, a second guy comes along and literally shoves his brother off the dance floor. A second brother of the bride shows that smooth, impressive dance moves seemingly run in their family. 

But don’t fear. The clip ends much like it began. Dad enters the dance floor later in the clip, finishing the dance with his now-married daughter. 

Psalm 30:11 “You have turned for me my mourning into dancing: you have put off my sackcloth, and girded me with gladness;”

The son of the late Steve Irwin, Robert Irwin, while following in his father’s footsteps, rescued a snake from a zoo’s vending machine.

Animals are unique creatures placed on earth by the same God who hung the sun, moon and stars in place. Because of that, all animals are deserving of kindness. However, gentleness and respect are best given to some creatures from a safe distance. 

For most of the population, snakes are best viewed and observed from a few hundred yards away and behind a sturdy barrier. But for others, like Robert Irwin, snakes are not bothersome in the slightest, as a video posted on TikTok indicates. 

In the short, one-minute-and-a-half clip, Robert, while driving, explains the situation, which has him headed to the zoo to deal with a unique problem.

“OK, so I just got a call,” Robert says. “We’ve actually got a carpet python, a big snake, stuck in a vending machine at the zoo. This is, this is a first.”

The clip then quickly cuts to Robert walking into the facility and standing in front of the vending machine, where he spots the slithery creature, who has gotten itself in an odd predicament. 

He then grabs the camera and gives viewers an up-close look at the snake, resting comfortably behind several bottles of Coca-Cola. How awful would that be? You think you’re buying a Coke, but a snake jumps out instead! 

Robert doesn’t complete this rescue on his own. A second gentleman unlocks and opens the Coke machine, allowing Robert to remove one of the panels behind a row of Cokes. The son of Steve Irwin then slowly and gently places his hand into the machine and withdraws the snake, removing it from the vending machine.

“So that is how you get a carpet python out of a vending machine,” Robert Irwin states.

Hopefully, snakes in vending machines are one situation most people can avoid. Whatever happened to just “have a Coke and a smile?”
