A divine connection was made when two complete strangers were sitting next to each other on their flight to Raleigh. Samantha Snipes was trying to leave town to get away from an abusive relationship. She was 8-months pregnant and scared because she missed her connecting flight. Her emotions were all over the place, but thankfully she was able to book another flight to get away. Still, Samantha was very anxious and nervous when she boarded the plane. And Temple Phipps, the lady who she sat next to noticed how nervous she was. She asked her what was wrong and Samantha told her everything. She also included that she was looking for someone to adopt her baby. Temple thought that her situation was such a coincidence because she'd been really wanting to adopt a baby, but adoption agencies were turning her down because she is a divorcee. The two women connected almost immediately and they exchanged numbers when they parted ways. But that was not the last time they saw each other. Samantha was still in Raleigh when she gave birth to her baby boy. He was born just three days after she met Temple and Temple was one of the first people she called when she was in the hospital. She asked if Temple wanted to come see her and the baby in the hospital. Of course, Temple went to visit them, but she did not expect what happened next. After seeing Temple hold the baby boy, she asked if Temple wanted to be his mother. That was an offer Temple could not turn down. She not only developed a connection with the baby, but she and Samantha became family too. What an incredible story!

Just watch as the men go through an assortment of hilarious songs mixed with even funnier choreography. I know it must've taken a lot of time and effort to put all of this together but they pulled it off perfectly. Not to mention the talented voices on all of these men. What an unforgettable number!

On New Years Eve, Oklahoma City firefighters responded to an 'active childbirth' call. When they arrived, a woman was having premature twins and it was quite a stressful event to deliver the babies.

The firefighters even traveled on the ambulance with the babies until they reached the hospital. It's been a few months now and the twins are almost ready to leave the NICU. The Oklahoma City firefighters wanted to pay these unforgettable babies a visit and they even got to hold the twins. Thank goodness for these heroes!

Just listen as he sings an amazing rendition of the hymn 'Stand In Awe Of You.' I haven't heard this one in so long and Kaoma truly puts his all into the performance. And the most incredible part is that Kaoma is singing each harmony all by himself. When all of his harmonies blend together, there's no doubt that Kaoma has a God-given talent. I'm so glad that he's using that talent to give praise to His name. There's nothing like a good worship song to lift your hands and give praise to the Lord. Who else is joining their voices in song?

When the kind people at Hope For Paws received a call about a dog living on the railroad tracks, they immediately sought to bring the pup in. This is an extremely dangerous living situation and they wanted to make sure the dog was safe. At first, they tried to lure her with food, but that didn't work. As time went on, the dog became more and more anxious and it was harder to bring her in. Finally, they were able to get her into a humane trap but this scared dog bit through the snare pole trying to escape and it caused lots of bleeding. They were able to bring this dog in to safety and give her the love and care that she truly needed. Tweedy, as they named her, suffered from a number of ailments and needed surgery. But now, Tweedy is living in a foster home and getting tons of attention and love. What a drastic difference. I'm so thankful for the amazing rescuers at Hope For Paws.

Having a baby born premature is never easy. One the mother is discharged from the hospital, normally the baby has to stay there for a while. That means a new mom must leave her newborn, at least for a little bit. That has to be extremely difficult. Hospitals know that both mom and baby will be missing each other while they are apart so they teamed up with music therapists for a special project. The music therapists work with parents and help them record their voices so that babies can hear their parent's voices. It can be a song or a bedtime story, anything that would provide a newborn some much-needed comfort. This is such an amazing initiative and I know that it's creating a lifelong bond between mother and child. What a great idea!

As we Christians navigate the world, it's no surprise that questions arise from time to time. Some of these topics can be hotly debated or difficult to discuss, such as is God ever pleased when a church shuts down? This is an interesting question and it is the topic that Pastor Todd Wagner from Watermark Community Church is discussing today. First, Pastor Todd opens the Bible and goes over the actual definition of a church. He points out there there are many places that call themselves churches but some of them aren't actually putting the fire in people's hearts for the Lord. I love how he is able to take tough topics and break them down into words that we can all understand. This in-depth look into scripture will truly open your eyes to this topic. What do you think of Pastor Todd's discussion?

10-year-old Bodi lost his mother when he was just six years old. I know that loss must've been especially difficult for a little boy, but today he is putting all that pain into song. Bodi is auditioning for The Voice Kids and it's absolutely touching. Just watch as he steps out on stage and starts to sing 'Fix You' by Coldplay during the blind auditions. Not only is Bodi extemely talented, but he is dedicated this performance to his mother's memory. The judges knew that they were listening to something special and they just had to turn around and see the person behind that voice. Bodi is so brave for sharing his story and then stepping on stage to follow his dreams. I'm so glad that he is moving on to the next round and we can hear more from the talented young boy.

It was a terrifying moment when a dance studio in New Jersey caught fire. When the fire broke out, a dance class was in session with a group of young girls in attendance. The blaze quickly overtook the studio and the students needed to get out and escape quickly. They moved to the balcony where bystanders were waiting with ladders and arms to catch them. One by one, these scared girls climbed down the balcony and fell into the arms of waiting strangers. I know this must've been a very scary moment for everyone involved but I'm so glad that these strangers came together to save everyone. Fires can spread quickly and are extremely dangerous. This situation could've ended very differently, but thankfully all of the girls were able to escape unharmed. Firefighters arrived and worked all night to put out the blaze. I know God was with everyone that day.
