Paige Vazquez is both wise and mature beyond her years with a Christian faith that just oozes in her daily interactions with others. So it should be no surprise that she would see a group of policemen sitting at a restaurant table and offer to pray for them. But because that kind of gesture is so rare, even for adults, it caught the attention of onlookers who snapped a photo of this heartwarming interaction and made it go viral on social media. In a climate where we argue about who's life matters most and efforts to demonize and defund the police are rampant, its a breath of fresh air to see that people still care and especially children like Vazquez. "I know they have a rough time sometimes. And sometimes a little prayer could make someone's day, so I decided to do that in case they were having a rough day," says Paige when reporters asked about the motivation to boldly approach their table. Little did she know that this specific group of policemen were still mourning the loss of a colleague, Officer Miguel Moreno, who had been shot in the line of duty the prior month, sadly dying from his injuries. Rumor has it one of the officers was so moved by the kind gesture that it effected him the rest of the day as he "could not get over it."
"You should always pray for someone no matter what, like even, don't be afraid to talk about Jesus because it might just brighten someone's day and someone might do it for you too" advises Paige. Her mother Kat, who sat next to Paige through the Inside Edition interview must be proud. She is certainly raising a wonderful child and teaching her how to be a blessing to others. This world could use more kids like this and the compassionate disposition that seems to flow so naturally from her.
Its never fun when technical difficulties arise and prevent the show, concert, or sporting event from proceeding as planned. Most audiences are held captive as sound booth techs scramble to identify the issue quickly. That was the scene at a basketball game in the Columbus Ohio area between Waverly High and Portsmith West. This left kids and audience members standing at attention, some with hands over their hearts, others saluting in an awkward pause as the music never quite began. In the stands a talented man named Trenton Brown got an elbow nudge from his wife as if to say, "fix it honey." He knew exactly what she was doing because she of all people know how talented a singer he is adding to her prodding, "just start singing it" and he did exactly that. Soon the crowd joined in so that it was not just one man singing a solo. But even when fellow voices joined his, Mr. Browns certainly stood out and remained booming, proud, and beautifully patriotic. He took wh...
I admit it. I struggle with anger and frustration on a fairly constant basis. I think most men do although I know its not relegated to just us guys alone. Part of the prevalence might be tied to the fact that its one of the only emotions apart from happiness that men are allowed to feel. Most emotions outside of these two get you made fun of with descriptions like "soft" or "pansy" being hurled your way. So we tend to embrace anger early on and maybe even use it as a one-tone expression of many other emotions like a camouflaged tarp of sorts. Doing this allows us to hide the root of the true issue and avoid the potential assault of your manliness. It gets worse, at least for me. On some level I have managed to embrace my anger and frustration as mostly justified and a badge of honor. Allow me to elaborate and invite you to introspectively decide whether or not you can relate. First off, anger in and of itself is not a sin. Verses like Ephesians 4:26 state to ...
