How awesome is this! Among the many heroes coming out of the catastrophe of Hurricane Harvey, one of my favorites is what they call the “Red Neck Army.” While rescuing victims of the flooding, a US Army National Guard vehicle got itself stuck in floodwaters. People flagged down a monster truck from the “Red Neck […]

A Brazilian-born girl has reached her 9th birthday despite doctors telling her parents to plan her funeral shortly after she was born. Sweet little Vitoria Marchioli was born with Treacher Collins syndrome, a condition in which her facial bones didn’t form properly.

The stories coming out of Texas right now make me cry for one of two reasons. Either it’s about the total devastation that will affect families for years to come, or it’s about how good, kind and thoughtful people are in the wake of tragedy.

Alright listen, I don’t like Joel Osteen. I’m certainly not his biggest fan, but for the love of all that is cute and fuzzy can we stop spreading fake news? I mean really, there is no need for this right now. People are claiming that Osteen refused to open his mega-church to take in those […]

As the over-filled rivers and torrential downpours continue to flood out Houston and cities in southeastern Texas, there are local news stations that are outside in the thick of it, covering the devastation going on. Everything was going well and dry in one Houston based news station — until the flood waters came to them. […]

The photos coming from the parts of Texas that have been hit by Hurricane Harvey are absolutely devastating and heartbreaking. There is one picture, however, that has everyone calling Otis the German Shepard a “hero.” When Otis’ 5 year-old owner, Carter, fled from Stinton, Texas in anticipation of the flooding, the dog was left in […]

Hurricane Harvey is making a mess in Texas and that’s an understatement. I believe it is the first major hurricane to hit the US since 2005. It landed on the Texan coast as a category 4 hurricane and then quickly wound down to a tropical storm. The problem is that it is stalled and is […]
