Coach goes viral online for this one act during kids’ basketball game

Getting inside the classroom every day and trying to cope with all those students who have different personalities and learn using different strategies isn’t that easy. However, watching a shy student raising their hand and speaking in front of the whole class, or seeing a struggling student getting an ‘A’ makes you realize that it’s all worth it. It requires only special people to be teachers, because not everyone can rise to the task of shaping young minds into compassionate and responsible people who’d become a valuable part of the community. 

The ideal teachers always go the extra mile just to make sure their students are doing their best to achieve the most they can. This help usually expands outside of the classroom too. And even if this effort may not be recognized by the parents, the school’s principal, or the community, that doesn’t really mater, because teachers know how great of an impact they make. 

One coach from Valdosta, Georgia was giving his students a lesson in basketball when one of them, a girl named Kristin Paulk, approached and asked him whether he could do her a favor.

He said yes even before he knew what the girl would ask. The girl then said: “Can you tie my hair in a ponytail?” The teacher didn’t think twice before he knelt down and started doing her hair. Meanwhile, a fellow colleague named Kandice Anderson noticed the quite unusual sight and decided to put it on tape. She later posted the video on her Facebook page, writing:

“When your job goes beyond teaching… #CoachO #Love”

Kandice only wanted to show her friends what it really takes to be a teacher, and never did she think the video would be seen more than 3 million times. The phys ed teacher had no idea his kind act vent viral and he became famous. People found this way too adorable, and he was featured on Good Morning America. 

“It was shocking to me that it got that much attention because we all do it.”

The coach has three children on his own so he happens to know how to make a ponytail. He jokes how his expertise in hair styling stops there and if sweet Kristin wanted a more complex hairstyle she should have probably asked someone else to do it for her. 

Kristin’s mother was also a guest at Good Morning America where she shared how she felt like after watching the video. She says she is more than happy knowing her girl has a teacher who cares so much. 

We hope there are more teachers like this coach out there, who would do anything for their students’ well being. 

This video is the sweetest thing you’ll see all day.

Jennifer Lopez wears nothing but diamonds on stage, fans are divided

Jennifer Lopez is more than a singer and actress; she’s a style icon and a trendsetter. Don’t believe me? Just take a look at her latest fashion stunt at the American Music Awards 2025 which she hosted this year. In fact, her appearance as a host marked ten years since she first landed that role.

Lopez opted for eight different outfits that she changed during the night, and although she was stunning in each and every one of them, one particular wardrobe choice made fans stunned… and well, also divided.

Lopez’ first time on the AMAs stage was back in 1991 when she performed as a backup dancer for New Kids on the Block at just 21 years old. “The awards show has been such a big part of my music journey and history,” she shared. “We’re going to celebrate the year in music.”

Though she admitted hosting isn’t usually her thing—”Believe it or not, I’m quite shy,” she said—Lopez nailed it with effortless confidence and flair. “I’m a performer, so if I have a script or a song, I can do that, and I love doing that. But hosting is a different thing, a different skill set,” she added.

At the AMA, Lopez turned heads in a dazzling, diamond-studded outfit from Bronx and Banco’s Fall 2023 collection.

The look featured bold cutouts and a sheer fringe skirt, perfectly highlighting her curves and famous abs. She described her style for the evening as “glam, cool, chic, elegant, and sexy”—everything fans associate with her iconic fashion sense. Social media buzzed with reactions: many praised her fearless and stunning fashion at 55, calling her legendary, while a few thought the outfit was a bit over the top for a hosting role.

Whether fans loved or questioned her bold choices, one thing is clear: Jennifer Lopez knows how to make a statement—and she’s not slowing down anytime soon.

Controversial evidence that proves Jesus was real has been ‘confirmed’ as authentic

By

The Shroud of Turin remains a valuable religious relic for many Christians and one of the most well-studied artifacts in history.

Many believe it is the clothing Jesus Christ was wrapped in following his crucifixion, and scientists have long debated its authenticity.

This famous stretch of holy linen cloth, which is kept in the Cathedral of Saint John the Baptist in Turin, Italy, hence the name, is said to feature the faint of image of the Son of God.

Researchgate

Now, biblical scholar Dr Jeremiah Johnston claims to have verified some of the blood on it as human. According to him, a testing from the 1990s identified blood type AB on the Shroud. 

“The Shroud has type AB blood, identified as Semitic, present in only six percent of the population, confirmed as human and male, ruling out animal blood or a hoax,” Dr Johnston told the Tucker Carlson Network.

Further, he noted that testing showed it was human, male blood that was both premortem and postmortem.

“You would have to actually kill someone if you were trying to reproduce the shroud because we have premortem and post-mortem blood all over the shroud,” he explained.

The fact that the Shroud contains traces of both pre- and post-mortem blood is highly unusual, indicating processes that differ from what would be expected in natural decay. For some, this detail supports the idea of resurrection.

This comes after an AI program revealed a possible image of the face of Jesus Christ using the imprint found on the Shroud.

However, despite the blood found on it being identified as authentic human claret, the Shroud of Turin remains controversial since some analysis claim it was made some time between 1260 and 1390, and since we’ve stated counting the years based on Jesus himself, it makes it too recent to be genuine. On the other hand, later studies questioned that analysis, saying the sample tested might have been from a repaired section, not the original cloth.

No one knows why 13 trucks are blocking the highway, when the truth is revealed, tears flow

By

Life becomes better when we hear stories about compassionate people who do good to others. Even though it seems like the empathy in people is somehow fading away, there are still those who never hesitate to offer a helping hand.

What was happening on the Highway, under a bridge on Interstate 696 in Huntington Woods, Michigan, left everyone both puzzled and speechless.

People who were driving along this road got stuck in a traffic jam, but when they learned the reason why 13 trailer trucks were placed in line and not moving an inch blocking the road, they knew the waiting was worth it.

The truck drivers came to help after State trooper Michael Shaw got an emergency call about a person who wanted to commit suicide by jumping off the bridge. Shaw who is a really clever man immediately came up with a brilliant idea, but in order to put it into action he needed some additional help, so he rushed to call a traffic cop and asked him to redirect the traffic.

All of the truck drivers were more than happy to assist.

By parking under the bridge, the trucks covered the entire area under it so in case officials and experts failed in convincing the man to let go of his intention, the trucks could prevent him from jumping directly on the ground and help avoid any serious injuries.

However, there was a happy ending to this story, because after four long hours, the man was taken off the bridge and offered psychological help.

The truck drivers never hesitated to help, even if that meant waiting for so much time.

We are thankful that there are still people out there like these kindhearted drivers.

A single photograph of a little girl named Emily, dressed in hospital clothes, standing beside her bed and clutching her beloved teddy bear, has captured the hearts of thousands on social media.

Sadly, what also caught the attention of many were the endless tubes and a wristband that revealed the treatments she endures for leukemia. Despite that, her face shone with a pure, radiant smile that lit up the hospital room.

At just seven years old, Emily faces challenges that would crush most adults. Every day brings tests, chemotherapy sessions, and exhausting procedures, yet she meets them all with extraordinary courage. Her spirit remains unbroken, and her smile a beacon of hope for everyone who hears her story. Her family describes her as a source of joy and inspiration, a little girl who spreads love and light even in the toughest moments.

For the doctors and nurses who care for her, Emily is more than just a patient; she is a hero, showing that resilience can come from even the smallest hearts.

Despite the pain and uncertainty, Emily finds joy in small things such as drawing colorful pictures, playing with her stuffed animals, and making her younger brother laugh with silly jokes.

Communities near and far have rallied around Emily, sending messages of love, prayers, and encouragement. People call her a little warrior, because she is a reminder that true strength isn’t measured by age or size, but by the ability to face challenges with grace.

Emily’s story shows that heroes aren’t only found in books, movies, or on screens. Sometimes, they are children whose courage and innocence shine brighter than anything else.

We pray every child in this world who is suffering to be cured.

UPS driver sees note scribbled on package, calls 911

By

One UPS driver found himself in the right place at the right time and helped save a mother and her 3-year-old son from an ordeal their husband and father forced them to go through.

The movie-like rescue took place all thanks to the observant UPS driver who noticed the message the abused woman managed to pass to him through the package he picked up from her.

The abuser, James Jordan did the unthinkable. He locked his young son inside a room and left him there for 15 hours without any food or water. The boy could hear how his mother was severely abused, both physically and sexually. Jordan took her phone so she couldn’t contact anyone and beat her severely.

Once, she tried to escape, but Jordan caught her and dragged her back to the house by pulling her hair.

And then, as she was convinced there was no way out of the situation she found herself in, she came up with an idea and prayed God it worked. All she hoped for was for a person to be observant while on the job. Luckily, God listened to her prayers and sent the right UPS driver at her door. As she handed him the package he was about to pick up, while her husband held a gun behind her and told her not to speak to the driver, she pretended everything to be fine. What Jordan didn’t know was that the woman managed to write a message on the box. She scribbled “contact 911.”

Luckily, the UPS driver noticed the message and could feel it wasn’t a joke. He immediately contacted 911 and in no time, a SWAT team responded to the call and rescued the woman and her child from Jordan.

‘Mutant deer’ with bubble skin sparks outbreak fears in US

By

After the strange sights of rabbits and squirrels with tumor-like growths hanging off their bodies, now deer with the same appearance sparked outbreak fears.

The deformed deer have been pictured across New York, Pennsylvania, and Wisconsin during the last couple of months.

Reddit

“A white-tailed deer in Pennsylvania. But what is the growth? Is it a mole? A boil? An injury?” one Reddit user asked earlier this month.

According to wildlife officials, the strange appearance at the deer is caused by a virus transmitted between deer in all parts of the US, causing a condition known as deer cutaneous fibroma or deer warts.

Matt Harbin via The Washington Department of Fish and Wildlife (WDFW)

The virus is mainly spread by disease-carrying insects like mosquitoes and ticks, which pass on the blood of infected deer to healthy animals nearby. It can also be contracted by directly contacting a surface where the virus is wriggling on, or by rubbing against an infected deer. The virus is part of the same broad family of viruses that can affect humans, known as papillomaviruses, which target the skin and mucous membranes.

While humans can’t catch deer warts, the ticks deer carry can bring diseases like Lyme disease into areas where people live.

Reddit

“These temperature changes are resulting in diseases that were never endemic in certain areas to become endemic,” Dr Omer Awan of the University of Maryland School of Medicine told The Mail.

“If you take a look at Lyme disease, for example, we’re starting to see it in areas that we never saw it before… places like southern Canada, northern states on the East Coast, like Maine,” he added.

Reddit

According to Metro, the warts that pop on the deer’s neck, head, and forelegs don’t cause the animal any pain, but they may restrict their ability to see, eat, or walk. However, the lumps dry up and fall off on their own after a couple of months.

“…This deer in my yard. [The warts] got worse, then three months later, they were gone,” one X user posted on the social media.

While more people became aware of the virus causing deer cutaneous fibroma thanks to the social media, experts say it has been around US for many years, likely since the 1950s.

Recently divorced woman moves into 10’x11′ shed and coverts it into lovely tiny home

By

A multiple bedroom home? A mansion, maybe? For most people, living in such a place would be a dream come true, but there are also those who opt for simplicity. The truth is that tiny homes can not only be comfortable and convenient, but also easier to maintain.

In fact, nowadays, many tend to rent or purchase smaller homes because that way they can reduce the costs of living, such as rent or mortgage payments, electricity bills, and more.

Heather, a young woman who got divorced during the pandemic knows this all too well. She is a world traveler who used to live in a van before she decided to turn a shed into her permanent home. The place, only 10’x11′, may seem too tiny for most of us to imagine it as our home, but not to Heather.

She decided to trade life on the road for something more grounded during the pandemic, and also to pursue a fresh start after her divorce.

From the outside, the shed-turned-home looks modest, barebones, even. Heather hasn’t spent much time or money into renovations of the exterior just yet but chose to keep things simple just in case she decides to turn to traveling again. The interior, however, is another story. Her little house has everything she needs.

When you step through the door, you’ll find her workspace to the right, facing a window with stunning views ideal for inspiration during workdays. To the left sits a snug living area, complete with a swinging desk for movie nights and a couch piled high with pillows.

YouTube/Exploring Alternatives

There is also a combined fireplace, kitchen, and bathroom space. A wood stove keeps the place cozy on cold, wet days, while a compact camping stove is all she needs for cooking. Her glassware and pantry goods are neatly arranged on open shelves, and a fridge passed down from her mother holds both food and a collection of travel magnets. Even with the limited square footage, Heather created space for drawers, cabinets, and a composting toilet hidden under the sink.

YouTube/Exploring Alternatives

Above the living room is her loft bedroom that provides enough space just for sleeping. “The thing I love about the whole space is just the vibe of it,” Heather says. “For the first time in my life, I had control over what I wanted. It feels open and airy, almost like indoor/outdoor living. It’s just having a safe space that’s my own that makes me feel inspired to create.”

You can take a look at Heather’s place in the video below.

Can you picture yourself living in such a tiny home? I know I can.
