Watch and be wowed by this gifted skating couple as the duo earns first place with their performance of their routine titled “Egyptian Snake Charmer!” You may have a whole new appreciation for the repellent reptiles afterward!

Evan Bates, 32, and Madison Chock, 29, play the charmer and the snake, respectively, in this free dance that is both visually stunning and athletically impeccable. From the first moments of guarded interaction between charmer and snake until the final friendly pose, the skaters’ every expression, gesture, and move is on point!

Madison wears a gold, green, and brown costume that shimmers and mimics scales; long, transparent pieces with a texture not unlike snakeskin dangle down her legs. Her black hair is fixed in an intricate braid, and she uses her dark eyes to warn and welcome her charmer partner. While Evan’s attire isn’t as glitzy as Madison’s, he plays his part well. We see him dodge the snake’s bite (a la skate blade) before winning over the slithering serpent. 

The precision with which the two skaters execute every single motion and maneuver is astounding! And, each one serves a purpose in the story being shared. Check out what happens just short of 4 minutes into the video. The music speeds up, the mood changes, and the couple picks up the pace through the end of the routine. It is mesmerizing! 

Madison and Evan have been skating together since 2011, and they’ve won a slew of medals in their years together. In this video, they are competing for the 2020 U.S. Championships at the Greensboro Coliseum. In the end, they capture the title for the second time, having won the same contest for the first time in 2015.

The couple became more than mere partners on the ice in 2017 when they became a couple in the romantic sense. Madison and Evan work and live together, and, during COVID, they spent a lot of time together. When folks started noticing how well they got along even with all that togetherness, they started asking the couple for couples’ counseling. “It’s pretty funny that people are turning to ice dancers for relationship advice. We’ve heard that ice dance is really like a marriage. I guess that must be true since we’ve got married couples asking for advice,” said Evan. 

As the performance ends, and the two take their bows and collect the stuffed snake that’s been tossed onto the ice, we hear commentators share that all of the top contenders in the competition are trained by the same training team and at the same Canadian facility. They add that the skaters all get along well and co-exist in a friendly, fun training environment. So, maybe, Madison and Evan relate well to everyone! 

Whatever the case and however it all works, we are just glad it does!  

“Similarly, anyone who competes as an athlete does not receive the victor’s crown except by competing according to the rules.” 2 Timothy 2:5 

This is a jaw-dropping audition that will be unforgettable for all who watch. A dance group performs a mind-blowing “Snow White” routine on Britain’s Got Talent. 

At the start of the video, we see the evil queen holding a mirror of snow white, and the mirror “breaks” as the dancers are revealed. All of the men and women are wearing black and silver. They move so quickly, it is incredible the strength and effort it must take to be in sync and stay on pace. Suddenly, Snow White and the seven dwarfs appear. The queen and Snow White” fight” each other. Everyone dances and does fight-dancing the Queen’s followers and the dwarves. At the end of this theatrical performance, Snow White wins, putting one fist in the air and all the others fall to the ground as smoke arises.

The dance team called “The Addict Initiative '' hugged and celebrated their performance afterward. The judges rave about them and tell them how fantastic they are. They each affirm their efforts and talents. The judges tell them that they deserve to be in the finals. The last judge says, “We’ve seen some bad, we’ve seen some good, and now we’ve seen you. You are incredible.” 

I love how these young people dance with all that they have within them. They not only are moving, but they are telling a story. They are theatrical in nature. This dance crew reminds us that we have a great opportunity to work together with others. God has gifted us with community and we can accomplish more together than apart. 

“And let us consider how we may spur one another on toward love and good deeds, not giving up meeting together, as some are in the habit of doing, but encouraging one another—and all the more as you see the Day approaching.” Hebrews 10:24-25

If you want to see some real-life heroism, check out this video. 2 Police officers bravely enter a frozen lake to save a dog.

At the start of this clip, we see two men in freezing cold water. One of them is hanging on to a large log as he swims towards this dog. The poor animal was trapped among the frozen waters, needed some direction, and help to get out so he would survive. The man closest to the dog finally gets a hold of him. He pushes the animal towards his co-worker and they all exit the frosty waters swiftly. 

This poor animal could have died from hypothermia, however, there is a sweet sacrifice of these two brave men who got uncomfortable to go rescue the dog in the frozen waters. The lake is in Huesca, Spain. There is snow covering the ground and these police officers decided to do what they do best sacrifice. I cannot imagine how cold the water must have felt. Would their skin be burning from the frozen sensation? Did they get sick afterward? In the moment of need, these men did not think of their own desires, but of saving the dog. 

We too can have selfless attitudes through Christ. Jesus Himself entered into our world to rescue us from eternal death because of our sins. However, we are freed and redeemed. Because of the Holy Spirit’s work in our hearts, we are capable of loving others with the same sacrificial love of Jesus. 

“And walk in the way of love, just as Christ loved us and gave himself up for us as a fragrant offering and sacrifice to God.” Ephesians 5:2

America got to hear a little about the Gospel through an incredible song and you don’t want to miss this performance.
The voice contestant Lana Scott sings, ‘Something In The Water’ by Carrie Underwood.

Carrie’s song was released in 2014 and it’s been a number one hit ever since. The song is about the joyous, uplifting moment when you have that ‘a-ha’ powerful moment of accepting Jesus Christ. 

I followed that preacher man down to the river
And now I'm changed
And now I'm stronger
There must've been something in the water

The most beautiful part of the song is the tie in to Amazing Grace which Lana sings so beautifully at the end of the song. 

Amazing grace How sweet the sound
That saved a wretch like me
I once was lost, but now I'm found
Was blind, but now I see

The audience went wild after her performance ended. Lana has been competing and working her way through The Voice with classic hits tied into her strong faith. She decided to pursue country music to honor her late grandmother Lana whom she was named after. Her grandmother had encouraged her to sing and pursue a career in music ever since she was a little girl. After Lana graduated from Berklee College of Music and Savannah College of Art and Design. After she graduated from college, she accepted a singing contract on a cruise ship. During her time on the ship, she got to travel to beautiful destinations before she decided to audition for The Voice. 

No matter whether or not she wins the competition, she already has fans who love her music and her strong faith in Jesus. Some of her fans said they can’t wait for her first album to come out. Her performance was absolutely flawless! One of her fans said, “Lana is holding down her own and is coming out swinging every week. She's been doing an amazing job. She also looks stunning in that beautiful silky outfit.” Another said, “She has really grown on me. Her tenacity and ability to take on the big songs impress me. She can tell a story and that forward sound rides high on the airwaves. She could be a big country star.”

We couldn’t agree more! Lana, your music choice was a beautiful way to share the Gospel and your faith in Jesus while showing the world your beautiful voice. We’re cheering for you while saying ‘Amen’ to God’s amazing grace. 

“And Peter said to them, “Repent and be baptized every one of you in the name of Jesus Christ for the forgiveness of your sins, and you will receive the gift of the Holy Spirit.” Acts 2:38

For Christians, Christmastime is clearly about celebrating the birth of Jesus, but in this video featuring 16-year-old Reese Oliveira and a group of talented friends performing “I Sing of Christmas”—well, we are reminded of much more than just His birth!

As the video begins, a pair of young hands hang a crimson ornament on a Christmas tree festooned in gold, green, and red. The lead performer, Reese Oliveira, appears from behind a gold drape and begins singing. She finishes the first verse, the curtain opens, and we now see a manger scene with a duo of child actors and one cute, if a bit “stiff,” baby doll depicting the holy family. 

Reese, in modern-day clothing, bends down to the manger and continues singing. With the beginning of verse two, several others join those already on stage. There is a twirling star, reminding us of the one the shepherds followed. However, the lyrics of the song Reese sings go a bit further. The words also remind us to be a light in a dark world when we are called to do so. 

There is a triad of handsome wise men, and a shepherd who might just have his hands full with three of the cutest tutu-clad sheep in the valley! A choir of kids, who appear to be anywhere from 5 to 17, back up Reese on the song’s bridge. Their beautiful, smiling faces reflect the joy that Christmas brings to the world! 

The final vignette shows Reese presenting gifts to three cherubs in pajamas. One is the ornament we saw at the start—a cardinal. Reese sings of how the red ornaments hanging on our trees serve as expressions of how Jesus’s blood was shed on the cross at the end of His earthly life. The entire cast and choir returns for the final chorus, which goes as follows:

I sing shepherds and wisemen, God’s love divine
Miracles, teachings, His gospel sublime
I sing of Him…Beginning and End
Oh I sing of Christmas, my King, my friend.

Reese is the eldest of five children in her Utah family, and she is an abundantly talented young lady. Reese has an impressive resume of vocal, dance, and musical theater accomplishments and experiences. Her acting and singing friends are delightful as well.

Suzanne Hodson is the writer of “I Sing of Christmas,” which may be new to you. It was written in 2020. Suzanne wrote on her Facebook post that she wrote the song at a time that was especially challenging. Suzanne wanted to write a song of praise and joy for Jesus, because He is the one who brings light, love, and hope to the world. Amen, Sister! 

“I Sing of Christmas” may one day be a classic Christmas song not only for its beautiful melody, but for its truest of words!

Today in the town of David a Savior has been born to you; he is the Messiah, the Lord. Luke 2:11

Grammy award-winning artist John Legend teams up with Voice finalist Jershika Maple for a stunning rendition of ‘O Holy Night.’ This beloved Christmas song was written by poet and author Placide Cappeau in 1843, with music composed by Adolphe Adam. This well-known Christmas hymn is one of the most popular songs during the holiday season as it speaks to the magnitude of the birth of our Savior. “O holy night the stars are brightly shining It is the night of our dear Savior's birth Long lay the world in sin and error pining Till He appeared and the soul felt its worth” Week after week, The Voice contestant Jershika Maple impressed the judges with her powerful vocals and hypnotizing personality. 24-year-old Jershika grew up singing gospel music and she continued that tradition during her time on the show. She covered songs such as ‘God Only Knows’ and ‘Break Every Chain.’ But today’s Christmas performance with coach John Legend might be her best number yet. Just listen as these two incredible artists come together on stage for a dazzling performance of ‘O Holy Night.’ “Fall on your knees O hear the angels' voices O night divine O night when Christ was born” Jershika ended up placing fifth in the competition but with a voice like that, there’s no doubt that we’ll be seeing this young talent for years to come. Luke 2:11 ““For unto you is born this day in the city of David a Savior, which is Christ the Lord.”

One devoted granddaughter is moved to tears as she witnesses her 95-year-old grandmother fulfill her bucket list by dancing with Singer Marc Anthony!

Watch this sweet video as the salsa star makes dreams come true during his Opus Tour concert in Orlando, Florida. You may take another look at your life goals!

Marc Anthony spots a large red poster to the right of the stage. The sign lists a few items already accomplished by Felicia (“Fela”) Rodríguez González and one thing that she’d yet like to experience while here on earth.

Marc Anthony reads the poster to the cheering crowd. Fela has reached the impressive age of 95. She survived Hurricane Maria, which hit her home in Puerto Rico in 2017, and she beat COVID! But, she has not danced with Marc Anthony, and that’s the goal for the evening.

Fela’s granddaughter Linda Cristina Santiago created the call to action and accompanied Fela for the evening. She is clearly as excited as Fela when Marc Anthony reaches out to them and then invites Fela to join him. Next, we see Fela onstage. While she might have needed a bit of help getting there, she is in great shape. Her 5 children and 50+ grands and greats have probably kept her moving! Not only is she fit, she has got rhythm.

Marc Anthony offers her his arm, she grabs onto him, and they saunter toward the audience. Once in position, they salsa for a few moments, and the handsome star gives her a twirl. He embraces Fela, giving her an amazing hug and a kiss on the cheek! It really is a beautiful moment!

Marc Anthony’s fan base already appreciates his voice and dance moves, but it’s likely that the talented and good-looking artist won many new fans that evening with his genuine act of kindness. And, Fela may need to start a new list, because this joyful woman looks like she’s got lots of days ahead. Robert Duvall does a mean tango!

“The Lord detests those whose hearts are perverse, but he delights in those whose ways are blameless.” Proverbs 11-20

You will love this rendition of Amazing Grace!

A woman sings a powerful rendition of ‘Amazing Grace’ in a canyon and it's just incredible. This video will have you humming the song the rest of the day and possibly inspire you to find a canyon and test out your vocal cords.

While on a trip to Utah, one hiker couldn’t help but take out his video and record what was happening in front of him. A woman further up the trail took a moment to sing for the Lord. As her voice echoed through the canyon, it brought “Amens” and “Hallelujahs” from those who had the incredible chance to listen to her.

The hiker then posted the video online with the caption, "Came across this lady singing in a canyon in Capitol Reef National Park, Utah."

Can you imagine going for a hike on a gorgeous day and taking in the beauty of all the things God created like the canyon in this video? You’re walking along and taking in the stunning arches and the beauty of nature and then hear someone like this woman singing?

Even though you can’t see the woman singing, you can see others in the video stop to pull out their phones to record the beautiful song as it echoes and reverberates off the canyon walls. It is truly captivating and reminds you just how amazing our great God is.

I imagine for those who had the privilege of hearing this woman sing, it made their hike extra special. Thank you to the person who posted this video online! It’s an incredible reminder of how nature even echoes the glory of our mighty God.

“Because your love is better than life, my lips will glorify you.I will praise you as long as I live,and in your name will lift up my hands.” Psalm 63:3-4
