Pint-sized country crooner Mason Ramsey showcases his incredible talent with his latest single, ‘How Could I Not.’ Mason became a household name after a video of him singing in a WalMart was posted online.
Million of people saw his impromptu grocery store performance and he was instantly adored. Since that viral moment, 12-year-old Mason has gone on to sing on numerous talk shows, the Grand Ole Opry stage and even released his own album.
Today, he’s releasing another new song and it will have you toe-tapping along in no time.
“Well, how could I not, knock, knock, baby, knock on your door?
Help you hop up right in my Ford?
Can't afford to miss one minute with you
Oh baby, how could I not
Wanna show you off on the town?
Wanna hold you, spin you around?
Anywhere with you would be hard to top
So, how could I not?”
The young man is truly making a name for himself as the next generation of country music. His unmistakable country accent and cowboy hat make Mason a must-see music act. Just listen as he belts out the worlds to ‘How Can I Not’ with the backdrop of a country fair behind him.
“Wanna ditch my plans
Come hold your hand, and spend all afternoon
Yeah, there ain't no question if you're asking what I'd rather do
'Cause anytime I know I'm gonna get to see your baby blues
Yeah, that's always an easy choice, the truth”
This young man has certainly come a long way since yodeling in Walmart. And I have a feeling that it only goes up from here!
This 84-year-old Army nurse proved that age is just a number as she completed 10 pushups in a challenge at the airport.
A lot of people think that when you reach a certain age, you are unable to participate in physical activities or truly energy life. Veteran Lt. Col. Maggie DeSanti served as a nurse during the Vietnam War.
Recently, she was at the airport in Phoenix, Arizona for a flight to Washington D.C. through the Honor Flight organization. This non-profit helps veterans fly to the Capitol to visit the monuments.
Maggie came decked out in her Army uniform and ready to prove that she was still fit for serve. While going through security, she challenged the TSA agent to a pushup challenge. The younger gentlemen accepted and the two got down on the floor and started to push out reps.
Everyone was in awe when Maggie had no problem completing ten pushups. This is just another example of why age really is just a state of mind.
This 84-year-old is living proof that if we keep things moving and take care of our bodies, we too can be moving easily long after we reach ‘over the hill’ status. She is such an inspiration to everyone watching and definitely put a big smile on my face!
We are so thankful for the brave men and women, like Maggie, who served and continue to serve our country. When I am this age, I hope that I have half as much energy as this incredible veteran!
Who else agrees?
Throughout the years, you have given us your irreplaceable time, love, care, and wisdom. You are an incredible person.
To the women who brought us into this world and the men who had to take on both jobs – thank you for everything. You don’t just deserve a Mother’s Day – you deserve a Mother’s Year! Happy Mother’s day!
What would you say to an offer of an Abundant Life filled with good things that no one could ever take from you? Jesus offers just that. There’s just one catch. You have to give up your life. Which do you want? The life you planned or The Life Your Creator has specially designed for you?
Most every fear we have leads to the big fear — the fear of death. Even as we are describing Heaven in glowing terms, we are trying very hard not to leave earth. Everybody wants to go heaven, but nobody wants to die. Hebrews 2:14-15 tells us Jesus came to free those who were held in slavery all their lives by their fear of death. Watch and be free of the fear!
Jesus gave a very significant clue about how to understand the real meaning of being born again. He said what is born of flesh is flesh. What is born of Spirit is Spirit. So to understand being born again spiritually, we need to remember what it was like to be born the first time in the flesh. Today we take a field trip to the womb!
Jesus said if we want to see God’s Kingdom, we just have to do one thing. But how to do that one thing may be different from anything you have been taught. Let’s start with a simple question. When did your life begin?
Country singer and songwriter Craig Morgan performs an emotional rendition of his song "The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost" that brings everyone to tears.
In 2016, this country superstar experienced a huge loss when his 19-year-old son, Jerry, died in a boating accident. The unexpected death sent shockwaves through The Morgan Family. But three years later, Craig was able to put some of his deep emotions into a song.
“I cried and cried and cried until I passed out on the floor
Then I prayed and prayed and prayed till I thought I couldn't pray anymore
And minute by minute, day by day, my God, He gave me hope
I know my boy ain't here but he ain't gone”
While a guest on The Kelly Clarkson Show, Craig described how the lyrics of the song came to him in the middle of the night. He got up from his bed and it took him less than four hours to finish the entire song. But Craig was unsure if he would ever be able to actually sing the heartfelt words in public.
He debuted the song at the Grand Old Opry and barely made it to the end without breaking down. That’s when he encountered Ricky Skaggs backstage who told him that the world needed to hear these words.
“In the mornings I wake up, give her a kiss, head to the kitchen
Pour a cup of wake-me-up and try to rouse up some ambition
Go outside, sit by myself but I ain't alone
See, I've got the Father, my son, and the Holy Ghost”
Many people were touched by these rare and real lyrics. One person who was hit hard by the words was fellow country star Blake Shelton. After hearing the song, he was moved to make a post on Twitter.
Even though Blake currently held the number one spot on the iTunes chart, he wanted to help "The Father, My Son and The Holy Ghost" take over. He encouraged his fans and other celebrities to purchase the song and it eventually went number one across the board.
Now, Blake is sitting in the audience as Craig performs this incredible song on The Kelly Clarkson Show. I don’t think there was a dry eye in the place by the end.
22-year-old blind pianist Paul Kapeleris earned the coveted golden buzzer with his stunning performance of ‘Rise Up’ on Australia’s Got Talent.
Paul won over our hearts before he ever stepped on stage. We learned that this young man suffers from a rare eye disorder called Leber congenital amaurosis. This leaves him with just five percent vision and he is also partially deaf.
But none of this is stopping Paul from living his dream and performing on the big stage of Australia’s Got Talent. Lead by his mother, Paul brought some of the judges to tears with his rendition of ‘Rise Up.’
“You're broken down and tired
Of living life on a merry go round
And you can't find the fighter
But I see it in you so we gonna walk it out
And move mountains
We gonna walk it out
And move mountains”
As he sits at the piano, all of the emotions start to flow. Paul’s big voice came as quite a surprise for the judges and crowd. But as he belted out the words, it was obvious that Paul was a rare talent.
“And I'll rise up
I'll rise like the day
I'll rise up
I'll rise unafraid
I'll rise up
And I'll do it a thousand times again”
After his performance, judge Lucy Durack was moved to press her golden buzzer. But, despite the standing ovation and confetti raining down, Paul had no idea what had just happened.
It wasn’t until his mother ran onto the stage that the young man realized that he would be moving on in the competition. What an incredible moment!
The Voice contestants Josie Jones and Kat Hammock perform a unique duet of ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads.’
This classic song was written by John Denver back in 1971. It became an instant hit for Denver. The entire tune is an ode to the great state of West Virginia.
“Almost heaven, West Virginia
Blue Ridge Mountains, Shenandoah River
Life is old there, older than the trees
Younger than the mountains, blowing like a breeze”
Today, two younger contestants on The Voice are taking on this nostalgic tune. 16-year-old Josie Jones and 18-year-old Kat Hammock are both members of Team Blake.
After nailing their blind auditions, the teens were paired together for a singing duel in the battle rounds. With help from advisor Darius Rucker, both girls were tasked with putting their own touch on the classic song ‘Take Me Home, Country Roads.’
“Country roads, take me home
To the place I belong
West Virginia, mountain mama
Take me home, country roads”
Almost everyone knows these nostalgic lyrics. Nowadays, our world seems to always be in a hurry. The words paint a picture of a simpler time where back roads and Mama’s homemade dishes were all we needed. It’s definitely a treat to hear these two young women belt out these iconic lyrics.
Even though they come from different styles, this classic country tune seems to be the perfect compliment to their unique vocals. After Josie and Kat received rave reviews, coach Blake Shelton ultimately chose Kat to continue on in the competition.
With all the different identities in the world, especially through technology, movies…superheroes and so on, believers in Christ need to understand who they are in Christ Jesus. Otherwise, they will be confused and deceived. Go to the link for much more. Thank you! https://www.surefootedmin.org/Resources/MediaGallery/LastingResultsParts56and7
Christian comedian Chonda Pierce shares her journey to God through this moving testimony.
Chonda has always been candid in her standup routines. She says what she wants and isn't afraid to take on the tough topics.
Today, she’s taking a step back from the comedy to discuss her relationship with God and the struggles to find her way to Him. Chonda grew up in a Christian household.
In fact, her father was a preacher. Despite their belief in God, her family faced multiple hardships and heartache that took a toll on Chonda’s thoughts toward God.
Both of her sisters died when she was just a teen and her parents also went through a very public divorce. Chonda began to feel bitter towards God. But slowly, this beloved comedian found her way back to Christ and His loving arms. “What I had not been introduced to yet, at that time in my life, was The Heavenly Father.”
Once she found the grace and support of The Heavenly Father, Chonda made the incredible choice to welcome Him into her heart and share His message with others. “He is the perfect Father. And I had to come to the realization that I either am going to believe in the Word of God or not. And I chose to believe it.”
Now, Chonda uses her unique blend of comedy and Christianity to help others find the humor in every day life. I’m so glad that she felt moved to share her story with others.
It was an emotional moment when a tractor carries the coffin of this late farmer during a tear-jerking send off.
This touching moment was all captured on camera as 95-year-old David Young was taken to his funeral. David was an elderly farmer who grew up in Isfield, East Sussex.
His family has lived and worked at the farm for over 100 years. This man spent so much of his life in the fields and thousands of memories were shared.
So, when David lost his battle to dementia, his children knew that they wanted to give him a ‘proper farmer’s funeral.’ Adorned with a wreath of English vegetables,
David’s coffin was carried from the family farm all the way to the village church on a trailer towed by a tractor. As the tractor rides by, you can see funeral guests paying their last respects David.
This was truly a beautiful way to bid farewell to a beloved man and farmer. It’s obvious that his family cared so much about him and this was such an amazing way to send him off.
Genesis 1:11-12 “And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.”
