The main portions of God’s word to consider.

Proverbs 17:27
He who restrains his words has knowledge, and he who has a cool spirit is a man of understanding.

Proverbs 14:29
He who is slow to anger has great understanding, but he who has a hasty temper exalts folly.

Proverbs 15:18
A hot-tempered man stirs up strife, but he who is slow to anger quiets contention.

Enjoy some joy and feel the fun in this video where one talented parking lot dance crew lets a bystander join in their epic dance number! 

What is it about street dancers and performers that grabs our attention? It may be the novelty of seeing folks out sharing their gifts in unusual places; many never see that unless they are traveling. It could be the impressive nature of the acts being performed. Perhaps, it is the spontaneity of the event itself.

This batch of about a dozen young men are gathered together, and two of them break into a dance routine to a remix of Diddy (a.k.a. Sean Combs, Puff Daddy, P. Diddy, et. al.) tunes. The entire group is feeling the rhythm and clearly having fun, but only two are executing the body-twisting and mind-blowing moves. Their knees may one day pay for the punishment. In the meantime, they are having a blast, completely unaware of Diddy’s heartbreak that is the subject of his romantic woes referenced in the song. 

At about 20 seconds, we see a man in jeans and a pair of work boots, a light cap, and a t-shirt. He’s got a pair of sunglasses hanging at his neck. Maybe he's on vacation? Maybe it's the end of a hard day at work? 

In any case, the middle-aged man comes out of the Wawa and obviously notices the young athletes doing a jig that’s anything but a cha cha! And, it looks like he’s intrigued by what’s going on. It’s then that a couple in the group notice him!

One waves the new guy toward the group, and, momentarily, the pair dancing in unison have parted and invited him to join in. He makes a good-natured effort, but his footwear is a bit weighty. Now, everyone is bouncing up and down and arms are raised in the air. It is just a joyful moment!  

What a blessing it is to have moments of impromptu fun! No planning or preparation. No cost. The dancers and their young crowd were free from inhibition or burdens in that moment, and the gentleman couldn’t help being attracted to that. Good for them, and good for him!  

“Therefore do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Each day has enough trouble of its own.” Matthew 6:34

 

In this hilariously inspiring video, a bus driver makes the kids smile with funny costumes each day.

As we first hear a bus driver say, “I’m the troublemaker on the bus,” it intrigues us to want to know more. Kevin Hughes is a bus driver in Missouri for elementary schools and he is a blessing to his students. He is shown in a variety of photos wearing costumes such as a bunny at Easter and a leprechaun at St. Patrick's Day. Kevin loves to make the kids laugh.

Kevin says, “These are trying times and I’m just putting a little fun in the workplace. If I’ve made you laugh, I’ve done my job.” 

Not only does Kevin make students laugh, he is an amazing bus driver. He was named the Transportation Department’s employee of the year. Kevin shares that the kids love the outfits. Sometimes they don’t understand them, but most of the time they do. The children who are blessed enough to ride the 229 bus get to have some fun on their ride. 

Kevin’s outlook on being positive in hard times reminds us to find joy in Christ and to share His love with others. Kevin thought creatively about how to brighten the days of his students. He was thinking outwardly.

In our lives, it is easy to get caught up with selfishness. However, when we think about others, we can live missionally and purposefully to bless them even on the hardest days. 

“Do nothing from selfishness or empty conceit, but with humility of mind regard one another as more important than yourselves; do not merely look out for your own personal interests, but also for the interests of others. Have this attitude in yourselves which was also in Christ Jesus.” Philippians 2:3-5

 

Unforgettable X Factor Audition Features Jennifer Holliday's 'And I Am Telling You'

If you enjoy listening to a powerhouse vocalist who is only 17-years-old, then check out this incredible video. This is an unforgettable X Factor audition that features Jennifer Holiday’s “And I Am Telling You.” 

As a young and confident woman enters the stage she begins to share with the judges that she wanted to audition a year ago but felt like she needed more time to grow in her confidence. Lanya Matthews is only 17 and she is shining.

Lanya tells the judges that feels confident and ready and hopes to do well at her song. As she begins singing the audience is wowed, waves of people begin standing in amazement. Lanya has a powerful voice. She is strong at entertaining and knows how to captivate the crowd. Her entire family is seen cheering her on in excitement.

This girl belts out her heart and in the end, everyone, including the judges are standing in applause. She sweetly smiles and mouths thank you. One judge says, “That was more than a performance, that was a statement.” Another judge says “Lanya, when I sing in the shower, in my head, that’s what I sound like.” 

What I love is that this young woman clearly has some genuine nerves about this audition, however, she practiced and chose to be confident. Sometimes God pushes us out of our comfort zones or we may not feel ready for something new, but He walks with us and provides inner confidence in Christ that can help us be brave. Remember today that confidence is faith in action.

“Now faith is confidence in what we hope for and assurance about what we do not see.” Hebrews 11:1

 

An awesome story of an image found in one of my hand painted scarves.

Check out this great video of Celtic Thunder featuring Keith Harkin performing the hit song ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ by Foreigner.

“I've gotta take a little time, a little time to think things over, I better read between the lines
In case I need it when I'm older, this mountain, I must climb, feels like a world
Upon my shoulders, through the clouds, I see love shine. keeps me warm as life grows colder"

What a great song, and what a wonderful performance of it! This video was filmed live in Dublin in 2007 and features the talented singer Keith Harkin. And the popular song ‘I Want To Know What Love Is’ by Foreigner was released in 1984 as part of their album titled Agent Provocateur.

"In my life, there's been heartache and pain, I don't know if I can face it again
Can't stop now, I've traveled so far, to change this lonely life, I wanna know what love is
I want you to show me, I wanna feel what love is, I know you can show me” 

Celtic Thunder made its debut tour across North America in 2008, and the group has toured every year since! Celtic Thunder has performed live to more than 3 million people worldwide.

This year, Celtic Thunder are setting off on their biggest tour of North America to date, 75 cities in the US & Canada. And on their website, they share about what you can expect from their 2022 North American tour.

“The show features soloist Ryan Kelly, Neil Byrne, Emmet Cahill, and Damian McGinty along with the Celtic Thunder Band in Solo and Ensemble Numbers that pays homage to their Celtic roots,” reads their website. “Each magical performance of Celtic Thunder ‘Ireland’ offers something for the entire family, and will enthrall their legions of fans that has gained Celtic Thunder the mantle of Top World Music Act in Billboard four times over!”

We hope that you enjoyed this video of Celtic Thunder’s rendition of this 80’s hit today!

Take a step back in time as The Hound + The Fox perform a beautiful duet of ‘Danny’s Song.’

This 1971 hit was written by Kenny Loggins. It was featured on the first album released by Kenny and Jim Messina, known by their stage name Loggins And Messina. Decades later, the words still move hearts all around the world. 

“People smile and tell me I'm the lucky one, 
And we've just begun, think I'm gonna have a son
He will be like she and me, as free as a dove, conceived in love, 
Sun is gonna shine above”

Today, the talented husband and wife duo of The Hound + The Fox are performing this iconic hymn. For years, Reilly and McKenzie Zamber have shared their vocal talent with the world through stunning covers and inspiring original songs such as ‘Amazing Grace’ and ‘Mary, Did You Know.’

Today, they’re taking on another classic with the beautiful words of ‘Danny’s Song.’ This iconic tune truly takes us back and it’s such a blessing to hear this young couple perform the beloved words. 

“Even though we ain't got money, I'm so in love with you, honey
And everything will bring a chain of love, oh, oh, yeah
And in the morning, when I rise, you bring a tear of joy to my eyes
And tell me everything is gonna be alright.”

The duo captioned the video with a sweet sentiment. “A beautiful classic by Loggins and Messina, dedicated to all the amazing love in our lives.”

Be transported back in time as the a cappella voices of Peter Hollens and Tim Foust perform the John Denver classic ‘Sunshine On My Shoulders .’

This 1973 hit was featured on John’s album, Poems, Prayers & Promises.

“Sunshine on my shoulders makes me happy
Sunshine in my eyes can make me cry
Sunshine on the water looks so lovely
Sunshine almost always makes me high”

Peter Hollens became an instant social media star when he started to post a cappella cover songs of our favorite tunes such as ‘Mary Did You Know’ and ‘You Raise Me Up.’

Many of his videos went viral and now it’s his full-time job to make incredible a cappella musical arrangements of popular songs and powerful originals.

Tim Foust is another a cappella sensation. You may recognize him as a member of Home Free, an a cappella group that won the fourth season of The Sing-Off on NBC in 2013.

Today, these two distinct voices are coming together for a unique performance of ‘Sunshine On My Shoulders .’

“If I had a day that I could give you
I'd give to you the day just like today
If I had a song that I could sing for you
I'd sing a song to make you feel this way”

This song is truly a much-needed dose of nostalgia and I just love this a cappella performance. All of the sounds that you are hearing come from the human mouth and it’s absolutely incredible to listen to this stunning arrangement.

Emotional control is the capacity to recognize and direct your feelings and react in a socially average and adaptable manner and furthermore have a specific degree of control over unconstrained responses.

An abundance mindset is the way to go or perspective that there are an adequate number of assets and victories for all to share. This perspective is appeared differently in relation to a world view limited by fear, or the possibility that there isn't to the point of going around and that every individual should monitor their achievements or assets from others.
