On the inspiring show Little Big Shots, a 13-year-old boy has flown all the way from New Zealand to share his talent by singing ‘Hallelujah’ for the audience. The boy’s name is Selevasio, and he lives in New Zealand but is originally from Tonga. Before he sings, Selevasio and the host share a conversation. The host asked him what he loves about singing. “Well, I think I just love everything about it,” he says. “I just try to share it as much as I can.” Then Selevasio sweetly adds, “I wouldn’t be here today without my mom.” The two then banter back and forth about rugby, and the young man shares that he used to play rugby a lot. “Our team was actually very good,” Selevasio shares. “We even made the newspaper for being undefeated for more than 150 games.” He goes on to talk about how he is the oldest sibling and has one younger sister and two younger brothers. Selevasio shares how he would love to be a professional singer and make an album one day. He has actually been working on an original song! What a dedicated young man! Then Selevasio confidently takes the stage and sings the song ‘Hallelujah.’ “Now, I've heard there was a secret chord that David played, and it pleased the Lord But you don't really care for music, do you? It goes like this, the fourth, the fifth The minor fall, the major lift, the baffled king composing Hallelujah Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah, Hallelujah” What a stunning performance by this young man! Selevasio has such an incredibly beautiful voice, and it is wonderful to see him sharing his amazing talent with the world. May he always pursue his passions and use his God-given talents to bring joy and happiness to those around him!

In this beautiful performance, the bluegrass band called The Petersens plays the popular song ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads’ by John Denver. “Almost heaven, West Virginia,Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River Life is old there, older than the trees, younger than the mountains, growin' like a breeze Country roads, take me home to the place I belong West Virginia, mountain mama, take me home, country roads” “It was about time we covered this John Denver classic!” says The Petersens on their YouTube page. “Our dad actually grew up in West Virginia and some of our fondest childhood memories take place in those hills. Not to mention, John Denver is a family favorite. We hope you enjoy this song as much as we do!” They filmed this music video in Branson, MO at Sycamore Creek Family Ranch, which is owned by friends of the Petersens. This family band performs full-time in Branson, MO. The group consists of Katie Petersen on fiddle, Ellen Petersen on banjo, Matt Petersen on guitar, Julianne Petersen on mandolin, Karen Petersen on bass, and Emmett Franz on dobro. They all are very talented, and they did such a great job making this video! “I have never heard anything more heavenly,” comments one person on their YouTube page. “As an older gent still existing in an ever-changing world, it's refreshing to see a mainly younger generation group that can interpret a song written well before they were born, re-arrange it in a bluegrass style, but perhaps even adding more feeling and emotion than the original,” writes another person on YouTube. “The harmony and feel, different than the original, but still the same. I feel sure that John would be smiling! You are a shining light so needed in our times. Thank you!” May the Petersens keep shining their light and use their gifts to spread joy to those around them!

We were created to praise God. He desires our praise. Blessings are in the praise.

In this powerful performance, America’s Got Talent contestant Cristina Rae earns herself the golden buzzer after Simon gives her a second chance to sing. Before her audition started, Cristina Rae shared that she has been performing all her life, and she feels that performing on AGT is going to change her and her son Jeremiah’s life. “He’s the reason I’m here,” the Nashville native says. “I need this to change my life. As you can see, I’m a single mom, and I was living in my vehicle while pregnant.” Cristina Rae then goes on to share that she now lives with family, but she has bigger dreams for her and Jeremiah. “I want him to have his own room. I want us to live in our own home.” At the start of her audition, Cristina Rae sings ‘In the Air Tonight’ by Phil Collins. “I can feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord And I've been waiting for this moment for all my life, oh Lord Can you feel it coming in the air tonight, oh Lord, oh Lord” What an incredible and powerful voice she has, and the audience was clearly impressed! But Simon wanted to see more, and he asked Cristina Rae if she would sing another song for the room. “I want you to imagine that you’ve just done the concert, and this is the encore moment,” Simon says. Cristina Rae then goes on to sing ‘Gimme Shelter’ by The Rolling Stones. Everyone is amazed by her performance, and Simon’s jaw even drops as she finishes up her second song. The whole auditorium gives her a standing ovation! What a phenomenal voice! “There is absolutely no point making shows like this, unless we find people like you,” Simon says to her. “I think that you are absolutely out of this world. My heart is racing for you right now, it really is,” says Heidi Klum. “Are you ready for this right now?” she says to Cristina Rae while she points to the golden buzzer. “Because I’m ready to push this button for you!” As Heidi jumps up and down and pushes the golden buzzer, tears start to fall down Cristina Rae’s face as the golden confetti falls to the ground. She is completely overwhelmed and falls to her knees as Heidi comes up on stage to give her a hug. And then her son runs on stage to join her. What an incredible moment! And we can’t wait to see more of Cristina Rae in the live shows on AGT!

One 14-year-old named Kelvin Dukes stuns the audience on America’s Got Talent with his incredible performance of ‘Ain’t No Way’ by Aretha Franklin. “Ain't no way for me to love you if you won't let me It ain't no way for me to give you all you need If you won't let me give all of me” Before his audition, this young man from Maryland showed off his outgoing personality during his interview. “I say I’m crazy! You know, I like to have fun,” Kelvin says. “You know, I’m wild. I might talk a lot. I’m a little talkative.” “Kelvin has a lot of personality,” his mom shares. “When he gets up in the morning, he’s singing all day, every day.” “He keeps us busy,” says Kelvin’s dad while chuckling. “This is his dream!” his mom says. “I can’t believe he’s here and in front of Simon! I’m very proud of him.” As Kelvin takes the stage, Simon asks him where he thinks he sees himself in the next five years if he were to do well in the competition or win this season. “Definitely still singing, still doing music,” Kelvin explains. “But I also want to become a dentist in the future as well.” As he is performing, the audience and judges are loving his soulful and powerful voice. He is incredible! And he exudes such a sweet confidence while up on stage. “This is a young man who believes in himself,” writes one person on YouTube. “That will take him far in life.” “His enthusiasm, his energy, his self-confidence is so pure,” comments another person. “It pulls you in.” After he finishes singing, Kelvin gets a standing ovation for the audience and the judges. May he continue to do well in this competition, because his bright spirit is one that we want to keep on seeing!

A classic Mister Rogers clip featuring Officer Clemmons is trending for all the right reasons. Fred Rogers is known all around the world as the popular children's show host, Mister Rogers. He made a huge impact on thousands during his lifetime and was always known for his kindness, wisdom and overall beautiful heart. It has been over 50 years since his show, 'Mister Rogers' Neighborhood' first aired on television but the messages he shared on his show still ring true today. Two similar clips are being shared across social media, both featuring the recurring character of Officer Clemmons. One clip aired in 1969 and the other in 1993. Both scenes touch on the topic of racial equality as Mister Rogers soaks his feet in a wading pool and invites Officer Clemmons to join. As people all around the world march for racial justice and change, this inspiring clip is seeing new life. François Clemmons, who played the officer, shares some behind the scenes insight into the powerful scene. During the show, Mister Rogers would always say ‘I love you just the way you are.’ But one day, François had the revelation that Mister Rogers might be talking directly to him and it lead to a beautiful moment of realization and acceptance. As our world faces uncertain times, the one thing we can be certain of is God’s love and message of kindness. This short scene from a children’s show tells us all just how meaning a simple moment can truly be.

Teens perform a moving contemporary dance to Lauren Daigle’s worship song ‘You Say.’ Christian artist Lauren Daigle originally released this powerful song in 2018 and it quickly became a smash hit in both the Christian and secular music scene. The beautiful words served as a reminder that God is always by our side and He has the power to lift us to even greater heights. “I keep fighting voices in my mind that say I'm not enough Every single lie that tells me I will never measure up Am I more than just the sum of every high and every low Remind me once again just who I am because I need to know” Today, a group of talented teens with the Utah COPA Teen Dance Company are putting these words into movement with an incredible dance number. The dance was performed in 2019 at the Westlake High School Drill Team Showcase. As these dancers glide across the stage, we see a beautiful showcase of praise for our King. “You say I am loved when I can't feel a thing You say I am strong when I think I am weak And you say I am held when I am falling short And when I don't belong, oh You say I am Yours” 1 John 3:1 “See what kind of love the Father has given to us, that we should be called children of God; and so we are. The reason why the world does not know us is that it did not know him.”

The trio of Resound earns two thumbs up from Simon with their inspiring performance of ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love.’ You may have seen this talented group from their numerous viral videos including Disney medleys and gospel favorites. Now, these Richmond, Virginia natives are pulling out all the stops as they audition for America’s Got Talent with their arrangement of this classic tune. This 1965 song was composed by legendary musician Burt Bacharach and made popular by Jackie DeShannon. After its release, the song quickly shot to the top of the music charts. Now, it’s a classic tune that has truly stood the test of time. As our world walks through unprecedented times, the lyrics of ‘What The World Needs Now Is Love’ right ever so true. And the three incredible voices of Resound are the perfect group to belt out these words for the world to hear. “What the world needs now is love, sweet love It's the only thing that there's just too little of What the world needs now is love, sweet love, No not just for some but for everyone.” After the incredible performance, notoriously difficult judge Simon Cowell was on his feet clapping. He even gave the trio two well-earned thumbs up. “Your joy of performing was very infectious.” New judge Sophia Vergara also had words of praise. “I want to get married again so you can sing and walk me down the aisle.” This uplifting performance left everyone in a good mood and I have a feeling we’ll be seeing this trio for years to come.

13-year-old Daneliya Tuleshova brought the judges to their feet with her incredible rendition of ‘Tears Of Gold’ on America’s Got Talent. This powerhouse vocalist from Kazakhstan started her professional singing career at the age of 10. In just a few short years, she’s already made a name for herself by winning the Ukrainian version of The Voice Kids in 2017. She’s also made appearances on The World’s Best and the Junior Eurovision Song Contest of 2018. Now, Daneliya is hoping that her talents are enough for one of the biggest stages in the world. As she stepped out on the America’s Got Talent floor, Daneliya seemed a bit shy and apprehensive. But as soon as the music started, she completely transformed and gave the whole theater a welcome surprise. Just listen as she belts out the words of ‘Tears Of Gold’ by Faouzia. “Don't you know that I cried tears of gold for you I sit here poor for you Collect my pennies and my dimes” When the music stopped, Daneliya looked out into a crowd that was on their feet cheering. Even the judges gave this young star a standing ovation. Newest judge Sophia Vergara had nothing but praise for this child prodigy. “I thought it was breathtaking. It was surprising. You look so delicate and tiny up there and then, suddenly, it was like you were possessed.” Even Simon knew that this audition was something special. “This was an incredible first audition. You’ve got a real real shot here.” Now, only time will tell if Daneliya has what it takes to win the entire competition.

Enjoy this new upbeat and uplifting song called ‘Look for the Good’ by Jason Mraz. “Look for the good in everything, look for the people who will set your soul free It always seems impossible until it’s done, look for the good in everyone People done gone crazy, people done gone mad People done forgot the superpowers we all have We were born to love not hate, we can decide our fate, and look for the good in everyone and celebrate all our mistakes, if there’s a silver lining, you still have to find it” In the music video, Jason Mraz is performing the song at a recycling plant and around a forest. While he is dancing and singing in different environments, he reminds us all to keep an eye out for people who are doing good in this world. What a beautiful message! And a great reminder to think about as we go about our days. The song ‘Look for the Good’ is Jason Mraz’s new single, and it will be included on his new album when it is released this summer. His music always brings so much joy and is sure to make you smile! May we continue to look for the good in this world, as well as be the good. Let us love our neighbors well and be the hands and feet of Jesus. We are here to share God’s love and shine a light in the darkness, and may we focus our actions on doing just that each and every day. Galatians 6:9 “So let’s not get tired of doing what is good. At just the right time we will reap a harvest of blessing if we don’t give up.” 1 Thessalonians 5:11 “Therefore encourage one another and build each other up, just as in fact you are doing.”

Matthew 7:13-14

Wind is the single most potent force that is capable of ruining your event completely. A mild breeze is fine, welcome even. But what happens when it transforms into a strong gale that’s unstoppable? Well, poorly anchored marquees will collapse, shatter, or even get blown away in strong winds.

Most of our gazebos can easily withstand winds up to 40km/hr. Our advanced models of Tectonic marquees can withstand winds as strong as 80km/hr. Our expertly designed marquees with superior pole design and premium quality manufacturing imported fabrics are the best in business.
