Have you ever witnessed a child taking their first steps? When you were learning yours or you were you there to watch your child take their first steps, what did you do? What did you tell them? After they stood up, then fell, stood up again holding onto something and fell again, do you tell them to “stop trying”, they “can’t do it”. You encourage them to keep trying. And once they take one step you encourage them to take another and another!

This video below shows one runner, Heather’s fall and what happened when she got back up again.

Something to appreciate when we have a “fall” in life and that is it gives us an opportunity for learning, growing and improving and most importantly, a chance for us to be courageous!

“This race is not about a fall. This race is about a rise.”

This fun video is a testament to ingenuity. When I first saw it – I was mesmerized and think you will be too.

One can only imagine the blueprint and the number of tries to get the angle and the leveling just right so that the ball didn’t roll off the “keyboard”.

Not to mention getting the perfect pitch of each “plunk”!

I’ve heard this tune before – do you recognize it too?

This video surprised me at the end – (it’s actually an ad for a cell phone) but it’s definitely worth watching and sharing for the entertainment value.

Throughout the Bible, we find that – what is contrary to what seems natural – is actually supernatural. For instance it was small David who slew big Goliath.

Jesus himself is a perfect example of this reversal of logic. He was the King who came to serve. He taught us that if want to be rich we will have to give up our riches and that in death that is where we will find life.

This is a great video that shows us that even when our love isn’t always returned, the benefits truly outweigh the cost and that it really is more blessed to give than to receive!

I give you a new commandment: that you should love one another. Just as I have loved you, so you too should love one another.
John 13: 34

As we go through life we rarely have a reason to question what we see.

There seem to be two types of people who are masters at tricking our eyes. Magicians have mastered the art of illusion. Right before our eyes they perform tricks that cause us to believe, or rather, gawk in unbelief at what we see (or don’t see).

The other type of person who can trick us into seeing the unbelievable are pranksters. This video is the result of a really good prank. Even funnier than the video is the look of unbelief in the eyes of those being pranked.
