With the upcoming solar eclipse, experts are warning people not to look at the sun directly. In order to view the eclipse, you need to wear special glasses created for this purpose. Some people think that this notion may be silly but 70-year-old Lou Tomososki knows the damage that the sun can do to your eyes.
Lou was only a teenager when he looked at the sun directly, for about 20 seconds, during an eclipse. That brief glimpse resulted in a pea-sized blank spot in his right eye.
Now that another solar eclipse is on the horizon, Lou wants to warn others about these dangers and ensure that no one else has damage like his. Please listen to this important advice when you enjoy one of God's wonders.
There's no doubt that this feline loves her human. Just watch as she rushes to comfort her owner when she starts to 'cry.'
Many people say that cats can be more reserved than a dog, but this video shows just how caring they truly are. This cat knows that her owner is having a rough time and just wants her presence to be known as a source of comfort and support.
I'm so glad that God placed animals on this earth with us and we get to share such incredible bonds. Aren't all of God's creatures just amazing?
67-year-old Steve Goodwin was diagnosed with Alzheimer's disease almost three years ago. Because of his illness, he was forced to give up his job as a software designer. But his wife Jonie says the hardest part about all this is that Steve can no longer remember the songs he composed on the piano over the years.
Throughout his life, Steve wrote over 24 songs and most of them were written for the love of his life, Jonie. These special songs served as the soundtrack to their lives. She says, "losing the songs would be like losing him". Unfortunately, Steve never wrote down those songs, so as his memory started fading, so did pieces of all the music.
Then one day a family friend and pianist named Naomi stepped in and did something amazing. Naomi offered to help reconstruct the songs using the bits and pieces Steve could still play from memory. Note by note, Naomi slowly helped Steve recover his songs and they made sure to record every finished piece so it would never be forgotten again. And one of the most incredible things is that with Naomi's help, Steve was able to write an entirely new song.
While Steve continually forgets conversations and can no longer add numbers, music still lives inside of him. What a special memory for Steve and his family.
I know that they will cherish these forever. Our prayers go out to Steve and his family during this difficult time.

Demi Lovato's secular pop song 'Sorry Not Sorry' paints a picture of a wronged woman getting back at her ex. But the lyrics are full of hateful language and inappropriate words.

Our Lord is so good in all of His ways and I love that Beckah can turn a song like this into something that can be used as praise. I'm so glad this talented musician is giving all the glory to Him. Amen!
