Award-Winning artist Michael Bublé joins night time television host, James Corden, for “Carpool Karaoke”. The two performers clearly have a great time singing Bublé’s songs together while they drive around L.A. The pair also tackled the deep conversation of Bublés son’s cancer diagnosis and how it affected his family.
Michael Bublé is known as a modern-day crooner sharing talent with the likes of Frank Sinatra, Dean Martin, Nat King Cole, and Bing Crosby, to name just a few. He has a love of the classic American jazz standards and much of his personal work reflects a similar musical styling.
Joining James Corden for a “greatest Buble hits sing-a-long” the performers smiled and laughed their way through favorites such as “Everything” and “It’s a Beautiful Day”. Hysterically the pair decide to test the vocal projection strength of Bublé to order a coffee across a parking lot. And it worked! (Don’t worry, the show made sure to pay later!) Their laughter and enjoyment was so infectious! And let’s not forget James Corden’s dad who played the saxophone so brilliantly! But there was still a deeper topic to discuss.
When Bublés 3-year-old son was diagnosed with cancer, he took a multiple-year hiatus from his musical career. Now that his son is in remission, the singer has returned to his music but his perspective on what’s important has changed. No longer concerned about the superficial, Bublé is focused on the joy of music and finding happiness in the moments. And he’s using his story to help others. When Corden asked him to share a little bit about the last few years’ cancer battle, Bublé was brutally honest.
“It’s so hard to acknowledge it because it’s so painful to talk about. Obviously, we got the diagnosis and that was it man, my whole life ended...”
Tearing up, Bublé continues “...I’m not ok. My wife honestly, when this all started I became the strength to somehow pull us and lift us...and when the chemo was done, and they said ‘we did it, it’s good, he’s ok.’ I fell. I just fell. My wife picks me up now.” Hearing Michael talk about something that has impacted so many lives and to speak so intimately about his experience is truly important. Perhaps others out there who have battled with cancer in their families will be encouraged by his openness. As he shared, his family surrounded them and it’s clear they worked to find the joy in the moment.
Bublé has teamed up with the organization “Stand Up To Cancer” to join in the fight against cancer and raise money for further education and seeking a cure.
This video could become a perennial favorite at Christmastime as it truly captures the essence of Christmas.
Make some special time to enjoy this inspirational video and it does make a wonderful free-of-charge Christmas present. Merry Christmas and God Bless.
Here's how one homeless person got himself off the streets of Dallas, and in gratitude decided to pay it forward by doing something truly special for his homeless comrades. His heart felt the injustice of homeless people spending Christmas Eve in homeless shelters while the rich of Dallas got to spend an evening with their family in front of a crackling fire place, and a beautifully decorated Christmas tree. So, he found a way to get the homeless free first-class lodging at the Hyatt Regency and other upscale hotels in Dallas.
Over the years those 13 original recipients at the Hyatt grew into huge numbers of homeless men, women and children spending a night of homey/cozy comfort in a Dallas hotel room. Only because a formerly homeless man cared enough to get passionately involved in 1997.
This video does not show our ten-year involvement with the pro bono hotel rooms until 2007. However, Mark was the mastermind who started it all. It's important that the real truth is not suppressed as the WHOLE story on Mark is indeed an inspiring one.

The video also contains many sports people who profess their Christian faith as born again in Jesus Christ.

Andrea Bocelli and Josh Groban have teamed up once again to collaborate on “We Will Meet Once Again” for Bocelli’s newest album “Si” and Groban’s album “Bridges”. These powerhouse vocalists are the perfect pairing for such a beautiful piece of music.
Twenty years ago, Josh Groban’s career took flight in part thanks to Andrea Bocelli. Talk about a divine appointment and being in the right place at the right time. We’ll let Groban tell what happened.
“A duet almost 20 years in the making. I owe so much to an early opportunity I had, I was 17 and in high school and asked to be a stand in singer for Andrea Bocelli when he was stuck on a plane for the Grammys rehearsals. (Longer story how THAT even happened). A terrified, pimple faced and blissfully naive kid sang his heart out that afternoon and the rest is history. Meeting him backstage when he finally arrived I just thought “how cool is this? What a world this is.” He went on to do the telecast and I went back to history class at LACHSA (who were so understanding and supportive). I didn’t have an inkling where my life would take me after that. The bridges left to cross. This song, aptly titled We Will Meet Once Again, is one of my favorites I’ve ever co-written and recorded. It has so much meaning to me. Last night in the stunning setting of Portovenere we sang it for an audience for the first time. Here’s to more full circle surprises. They don’t come easy or often, but they sure are fun. Hope you enjoy. Grazie.”
This duet is beautifully performed by Bocelli and Groban. For Bocelli’s album the entire piece is sung in Italian while Groban's album has some of the music sung in English. Both versions are perfectly supported by the ever talented musicians of the London Studio Orchestra. We love hearing their voices working together and hope for many more collaborations in the future!

This man with disabilities pushes scooter with his hands to move village to village sharing the Gospel. Pastor José had a radio show that was his only method of reaching these remote towns, hours away in the mountains of northwest Mexico.
Eusebia heard about Jesus through Pastor Josés radio show. [She] was one of the first people in her village to become a believer in Jesus Christ. “I have experienced personally the Gospel,” she said. “I believe that God is good and that He has brought me salvation. There is no other way to find salvation without Jesus.”
Over the years, the believers in the village grew to four. The number has been increasing dramatically since Pastor José handed out Operation Christmas Child shoebox gifts at a Gospel outreach event nearly two years ago.
Eusebia’s 11-year-old grandson, Jonathan, was one of several children who prayed to receive Jesus Christ during the Operation Christmas Child Gospel presentation. “At first I thought that Jesus was speaking only to the adults, but I learned that Jesus loves children, too,” Jonathan said. “I learned to pray to Him. I like to pray.”
There are no established churches in La Laguna, but Pastor José hopes that Eusebia’s Bible study is the beginning of a congregation that will continue for generations.
“The children and their faith are going to be like a greenhouse,” he said. “They are the future of the church because they are learning about God, receiving Him, and they are telling their parents about Him.”
Without a car of his own, Pastor José relies on fellow church members in Tecuala who drive him to the village every few weeks. When he was just 2, José began to exhibit signs of polio, which inhibited muscle development in his legs. He gets around with a scooter he pushes with his hand. “For most of my life, I’ve used this scooter as my feet,” he said. “I could use a wheelchair, but it would be more difficult for me to move around in it.”
Pastor José’s goal is to reach people in more mountain villages with the Gospel through Operation Christmas Child. “I’m still looking for new places to share the Word so every kid can learn about God,” he said. “We have a mission on the mountains that started with La Laguna. As people are accepting God and sharing His Word, the message is spreading.”
Thank God for this man’s dedication to sharing the Gospel with others!
For the past 25 years, Operation Christmas Child, a project of Samaritan’s Purse, has partnered with local churches in more than 100 countries to distribute gifts to boys and girls in need and tell them about God’s Greatest Gift—Jesus Christ.
What a precious moment! Hickerson Elementary custodian, James Anthony, got the surprise of a lifetime when the Kindergarten students sign a special message to him.
The young kindergarten classes knew that they wanted to surprise their favorite school helper, custodian “Mr. James” for his 60th birthday. He’s a fixture in this Tennessee school and has been working there for 15 years and in the district for 30 years. Anthony may be deaf but that hasn’t stopped him from setting an example for the kids and making friends. Mr. James is known for stopping to teach the children sign language. He gladly sets the example as he teaches them about good manners and being kind to one other.
With the help of teachers Mrs. Allyssa Hartsfield and Mrs. Amy Hershman, these eager kindergarteners learned how to sign “Happy Birthday” so that they could sing to Mr. James and be a part of his celebration. The video taken by the school nurse, Angela Ridner, shows Mr. James walking into a room full of very excited students. As they began to sing and sign “Happy Birthday”, he was completely stunned. Putting his hands up to his head and begins to laugh in celebration, Mr. James showed that he was completely wowed by their special gift!
We’re so glad that Hickerson Elementary shared this heartwarming video! What a bright spot in our day to see these wonderful children working so hard to be a blessing to someone else. Reading the comments on social media shows how much of an impact Mr. James has had on the children that have passed through his halls over the years.
“He was my basketball coach one year! Always a happy man! Such a joy to be around!” shares Paige York.
Lexie Davis wrote: “This just made my heart smile so big. Mr. James will always hold a special place in my childhood memories! He has such a big heart 💓”
There is no doubt that Mr. James has touched many lives and is truly a mentor to these children. Well done, and Happy Birthday!
This incarcerated veteran thief gives suggestions on how to stay safe and avoid getting mugged. With the use of social media and built in video capabilities on our phones, people are becoming more aware of the number of muggings that are occurring throughout the country. The hope would be that the uptick in reports would encourage others to be more vigilant while out and about. But what should we be looking for exactly? “Dark alleyways” are no longer the location of choice, now the muggings are happening in broad daylight!
TODAY Show correspondent Jeff Rossen takes us into a correctional facility to hear from veteran thief, David Solano. He’s admitted to mugging over 100 people, and is now serving a 25+ year sentence. David now hopes to help others learn how to avoid being a victim and shares his knowledge on what to look for and how to stay safe.
“This is my way of repenting, you know? My way of giving back to society. My way of telling everybody, ‘I’m sorry’. Who knows, I might save a life and that would be a great thing.”
Solano shares that an easy target is a distracted one. Something as simple as stopping to share the time or give directions can leave you at risk. Instead, give the information while continuing to walk or while maintaining a distance from the inquirer. He goes on to share that the common targets are those who are alone and seem vulnerable, often the elderly.
David shares, “It’s insane. It’s crazy because um, while you’re in under the influence and you’re in that life, you have no remorse. You have no feelings.”
Unexpectedly, David shared that he often had targeted MEN because the women, while more vulnerable, were often more willing to make noise. One would-be victim was carrying a whistle which David noted was a great deterrent. He goes on to share that the best method of protection was a small can of Mace (personal defense pepper spray). But this is only good if you remember:
“You need to have that Mace in your hand, not in your purse. The Mace is not going to deter me while it’s in your purse, it’s gonna deter me while it’s in your hand, while you’re spraying at me.”
NEVER physically fight a mugger. David shares that fighting back could result in making the mugger angry which could escalate the situation. Unless you’ve been trained in defensive fighting, it’s too dangerous.
“Give it up, It can be replaced, you’re more valuable than anything.”
But where do most muggers strike? This might come as a surprise, but David shared that your DRIVEWAY is the place you are most vulnerable. Make sure to check your surroundings before getting out of your car to enter your house. In the city, the most risk comes while standing on the subway platform where you might be distracted, looking at your phone or standing off by yourself. Instead, find a crowd of people near the center of the platform to stand near. Being in a crowd makes you much less of a target.
It’s unfortunate to need to think about these situations but we are so grateful to David for sharing his tips. We hope that you will share these with your friends and family. Remember to be aware, stay in crowds, and make noise if you feel threatened.
