Today my mother celebrates another birthday in Heaven. It's her 3rd to celebrate with Jesus.

As I’ve done often I prayed the Lord would give her a hug as I kissed her Bible and smelled her perfume… still lingering through the pages, and giving me a bittersweet smile.

Happy Heavenly Birthday Ma.

Doodle for Google is a competition where contestants draw the search engine home page following a theme. This year’s theme was “I am grateful for...” and students from kindergarten through 12th grade were invited to compete.

Google selected 55 state and territory winners from tens of thousands of submissions, and Haley Ma` from Grand Prairie won the Texas nomination!

It's offically graduation season (shout out class of 2023!) and no matter how old you are, graduating from school is always good, good news!

Maybe somewhere along the line, you started believing that God's goodness was tied to your faithfulness. I want to share with you the story of a guy named Jonah that proved no matter how far we run, we'll never be outside of God's coverage.

Many of us may think we know who is and who isn't going to Heaven, I think this poem says it all.

Stacy Gooden-Crandle was eight days from turning 27 when her son Derick unexpectedly made his appearance, four months early! She says, “I had a normal pregnancy with Derick. Nothing was abnormal, and there were no complications prior to the date he was born.”

Derick was born at just 2 lbs., 9 oz. without a heartbeat and was hospitalized at the Memorial Neonatal Intensive Care Unit (NICU) for nearly five months. Doctors said that Derick only had a 1% chance of survival, but Stacy said she wanted everything done to try to save her son.

I don't think even Stacy would have imagined the future God has for her baby boy.

Some people believe their past disqualifies them from moving forward, but I'm here to dispell that lie with a GOOD, GOOD NEWS story!

To celebrate Mother's Day, I thought I'd share a story you can only classify as a Mother's Day Miracle.

Lisa Wright never expected to meet the woman who gave birth to her, but a genetic test helped reunite the two after more than 50 years apart in an incredible story fit for Hollywood.

After just wrapping up a job interview, Ron Nessman witnessed the unthinkable: A runaway stroller headed towards a busy road. Without thinking, he leaped into to save the day. The icing on top? He got the job!

It's the week of Mother's Day and today Sonny and Josh are joined by one half of KCBI's Married Morning Show, Caryn Cruise!
