Tim Tebow’s Mom Shares Incredible Moment She Refused Doctor’s Order to Abort Her Son

“Bringing Faith, Hope and Love to those needing a brighter day in their darkest hour of need” is what the famous athlete Tim Tebow lives by. His deeds are kind, generous, and inspire others to become better people. Because of individuals like him, this world becomes a better place. The foundation he set up back in 2010 is there to “serve children and share God’s love…by fighting for those who cannot fight for themselves.”

He practices his faith every single day and believes he owes his success to God.

Tim’s parents were missionaries and they were the ones who brought Christianity and the trust in God close to his heart. He has been a devoted believer ever since he was a young boy. In fact, his mother and father say how Tim was a “miracle baby” because he got into this world despite the doctors’ insistence that his mom Pam Tebow had to terminate the pregnancy.

Doctors’ warnings came after Pam, who was 37 at the time, was diagnosed with amoebic dysentery for which she had to take strong medications. They feared how it could have a deteriorating effect on the unborn child. However, Robert Tebow, Tim’s father, had seen so many abortions in the Philippines that it affected him a great deal. He was feeling grief and sadness, and he prayed to God to give him a son whom he would name Timothy and who would spread the word of God. So when they learned Pam was pregnant, they decided to ignore doctors’ warnings and keep the baby. They asked God for things to turn right during the whole time, and he gave them “the miracle baby” in return for their strong faith.

“We didn’t really have to make a decision at that time,” she said during an interview with Focus on the Family. “We had made it years previous because we were determined to trust the Lord with the children that He would give us. And if God called me to give up my life, then He would take care of my family.”

Although he was a bit malnourished at birth, Tim soon became a healthy baby. Eventually, he turned into one of the most significant philanthropists of our time who makes a difference into many children’s’ lives.

Pam is a proud mother who knows her loving son is on the right path. She now shares their story in hopes of inspiring women to choose life for their unborn babies. Recently, she was a guest at the fundraising event New Beginnings Mercy House in Monroe, Michigan — a Christian crisis pregnancy center and spoke of the importance of supporting these kinds of centers.

The center’s website states,

“We must show the women the love of Christ by offering a loving home and practical support in every aspect of their needs during this time of crisis.”

Only in 2018, this center helped the birth of around 50 to 75 babies, and the number in these first months of 2019 is 18.

“It takes a lot of faith to stand for life today,” Pam said, according to Monroe News. “Abortion is everywhere and affects everyone. You’re exercising that big-faith muscle when you support this ministry.”

She then spoke about God and how he was merciful to her family, giving them Tim in their life despite the circumstances of his birth.

“He gives us so many opportunities to invest in heavenly things. We need to invest in pro-life organizations mainly because they save lives and invest in women and moms,” Pam said. “And we get a blessing, too.”

If the Tebows accepted the doctors’ advice some 31 years ago, the world wouldn’t have Tim, and we all know how much he has done and is still doing for those in need of help.

She said, “We need to stand up for these special kids — they are a gift from the Lord.”

Pam’s new book, “Ripple Effects” is set to be released on May 7, 2019.

She Places Hand on Flag-Draped Casket. Passengers Left Sobbing as They Watch Fallen Soldier

Lisa West Williams was waiting to get off the plane at the airport in Raleigh, North Carolina, never assuming the delay was due to an event that broke her heart and brought tears in her eyes.

That day the body of a fallen soldier was brought home to his wife and family. Along with the video of the touching scene she posted on her Facebook account, Williams wrote, “There was not a dry eye around me.” Honestly, seeing it, we couldn’t help but cry, too.

The members of the military put their life on the line every single day, all for the sake of our freedom, and we can never thank these people enough for the sacrifice they make.

U.S. Army soldier and Warrant Officer Shawn Thomas lost his life during his deployment in Niger, Africa on February 2 as a result of the injuries he suffered in an accident with a non-combat vehicle.

Thomas had been deployed before and spent some time serving in Iraq and Afghanistan. As a Green Beret of the 1st Battalion and 3rd Special Forces Group, he worked in civil affairs and trained troops against terrorism. His dedication and service had been awarded with numerous awards among which two Bronze Stars.

When the casket with Thomas’ body arrived at the airport, covered with the Star Spangled Banner, his wife, T.J. was there to say the hardest goodbye.

The grieving but proud wife kneeled down and put her hand on the casket. Seeing that, onlookers felt heartbroken. They could see right there, in front of their very own eyes just how much military men and women, as well as their families, sacrifice.

Williams’ video spread very quickly and once it got to T.J. she contacted Williams and thanked her for sharing it with the whole nation.

Many thanked Thomas for his service and sent prayers to his family.

“Brave soldier, we thank you for your life and service to our country. God bless you,” one commentator wrote.

The 3rd Special Forces Group also expressed sorrow for the loss of their soldier:

“Our deepest condolences go out to Warrant Officer Thomas’ family, friends and colleagues.”

We would also like to express our gratitude for everything brave officer Shawn Thomas did for our country. Our thoughts and prayers are with his wife and children.

Man Carrying Cross for Thousands of Miles to Grand Canyon To Share Incredible Message

Different people understand God’s words differently. People interpret and act in a different way when they try to put in action the teachings of Jesus. Therefore, when Jesus taught us that every follower has to take up his or her own cross and follow him, he did not think of the actual cross, though.

However, Acie Burleson, understood this call literally.

This man became Jesus follower some 14 years ago. He and his wife are dedicated Christians and they have strong faith in Jesus and his teachings.

Very soon, Acie felt a need to build a physical, large, cross and share the gospel. According to him, he had a dream and a voice told him:

“Go and tell others about the returning of Christ Jesus.”

Acie started travelling across the country. He visited many places and the nation learnt about his spiritual journey. He was particularly noticed by the people when he started walking with a large cross.

He announced that on March 11 he will start the journey with the cross and he hoped that by the end of May he will reach the Grand Canyon.

He is persistent and doesn’t give up. Some people’s bad comments do not stop him to keep up going. He said:

“I love Jesus. That’s it. I just love Jesus.”

He also faced up with a street preacher, and Burleson said:

“I just told him that God loves him, Jesus loves him. I’m just doing my best to share the Gospel … As long as God’s Word got out, that’s all that really matters.”

There is another video of Burleson, recorded by Corinth Today. In the video he explains why he is doing the journey, and he says “because Jesus Christ is still good news.”

On April 29, he arrived in Memphis, Tennessee. There, he shared one story with Carolina News and Reporter. He says:

“There was a woman driving and she was just looking at me, so I waved like ‘Hello’ and kept walking. She then cut me off and is just falling out of her window weeping and crying,” He said. “Just like that crying and I was like, ‘Oh my gosh what’s wrong? What happened? Are you alright?’ and she said ‘I was one block away from killing myself and you stopped me.’”

He explains that while his journey lasts, he will not ask anything from the people. He will only accept what is offered to him. Therefore, people offered him rides, lodgings and support.

Besides spreading the God’s words, Burleson is also encouraging others to do a similar thing. One person that encountered Burleson was Steve Morgan. He saw Burleson near the Univierity of South Carolina campus and he says that what Burleson achieved is showing that we should not be afraid to talk about our faith in God.

He adds:

“I think today many people are afraid of it. They are afraid to say, hey I am a little bit different. This is what I believe.”

Nevertheless, Burleson has not reached his final destination yet and he does not know what will happen till the end. He says:

“Whether or not I stay there or go, I don’t know yet.”

Despite all difficulties, Burleson is dedicated to accomplish what he has been dreaming of. It is certainly not an easy task to do, especially since you carry a large cross on your back.

Faith and Jesus are central elements in this person’s life and we do hope that he will endure all obstacles and he will finally manage to achieve his goals.

Teen Hits Head During Practice, Now Her Brain Wipes Any New Memories While She Sleeps

Memory loss is one of the most frustrating things that can happen to one person. Not remembering what you have been doing recently is very annoying. It’s a real struggle.

Caitlin Little, a teenager from North Carolina, knows this very well. Her condition, well-depicted in the famous film ‘My First 50 Dates’, is no joke at all.

One accident left Little with this frustrating condition. It happened on October 12, 2017. She was running cross country for Southeast Guilford High School in Greensboro and then the life-changing accident occurred.

You wouldn’t normally expect such an injury during a running activity, but for Little it was very unpleasant.

It was time for practice for Little. As she was running, someone ran into her and both of them hit each other. However, for Little this incident was more serious, she suffered a concussion.

Immediately she felt a sharp headache. Upon getting to the hospital, the neurologists checked Little’s head and they said they would do everything just to prevent the concussion from getting worse.

Her father, Chris Little spoke for WGHP. He talks about the doctor’s suggestions and his daughter’s condition. He says:

“…he recommended, ‘cocooning.’ Cocoon her, protect her from anything very stimulating that might induce more headaches.

‘Well, OK, this looks pretty bad,’” Chris goes on. “‘But, in my experience,’ he said, ’90 percent of these resolve themselves in three weeks.’”

Days and weeks passed since the terrible incident and it was now evident that Little’s life is dramatically changed. The most frustrating thing for this young lady is that, as a result of the concussion, her short-term memory is lost. In other words, after she wakes up in the morning, she is not able to remember what happened the previous day.

Chris adds:

“I’m always afraid that she’s going to jump out of bed and tell me, ‘It’s wrong’ and, ‘It can’t be.’ And, why am I lying to her?”


Jeniffer Little, Caitlin’s mother says:

“I wake every morning thinking this was just a nightmare.”

Caitlin herself shares her experience with friends and other people. For WGHP she explains:

“I get plagued by confusion most often, wanting to know, ‘Well, how did that happen?’”

Furthermore, she adds:

“[I have to be] very organized. So I have lots of Post-It notes that say, ‘Hey, let’s do this,’ or, ‘This is new,’ or things to help me out. So it’s not as hard as I’d imagine it’d be without them.’”

This situation affects Caitlin’s school as well. The teachers explain that she has to keep photos of the teachers in her binder as a reminder who they are and what they are teaching.

Tracy Helms, a special education teacher, spoke with WGHP, explaining:

“I come in and meet her and she doesn’t know who I am. Every day, she doesn’t know where her seat is in this class, she doesn’t know who her teacher is. Every day is fresh and new to her, just like it’s never been seen before.”

We do understand Caitlin’s struggle on daily basis. This is a very frustrating and painful struggle. Not being able to remember the previous day is a very difficult condition. It affects every sphere of her social existence.

We do pray that Caitlin’s memory will improve so she can continue living her life as she wants.

Fan with Down Syndrome Bullied for Dancing at Soccer Game, Gets Sweet Message from Players

Every parent wants all the best for his/ her child. That’s not something new. We, as parents, try to give our best just to make the kids happy and satisfied. We don’t want the kids to be left in sad and depressing mood, no matter what.

This is also true for Neil Markham and his daughter Ella from Oxfordshire, England, UK. Ella has Down Syndrome, but that doesn’t stop her from fully enjoying the life.

Neil and his 16-year old daughter went to see the Trottenham Hotspur FC. The team played for the first time in the new stadium and that means a lot of fun for the spectators.

At the end, Spurs lost the match, but that didn’t stop the family from having the most beautiful moments in their lives.

As they were walking around the stadium, they saw a live band. Their music and the positive vibes made Ella feel like never before.

https://twitter.com/NeilMarkham1/status/1122149516537466881

Ella started dancing and having a great time. Immediately, Neil took the camera and recorded the extremely happy daughter. He posted the story on Twitter.

The moment was just adorable for them. Neil laughed a lot and his idea was that since this made him happy, it will probably make other people smile as well. Therefore, he posted the video, but trolls started leaving bad comments, especially because of the fact that Ella has Down syndrome.

The story was heard by ‘This Morning’ as well. Neil talked about the event and the comments. He explained that many comments were too cruel, and he did not show all of them to his wife. This made him feel devastated.

Neil started thinking about handling the situation in a proper way. He said:

“The only way I could do is to confront them.”

Therefore, he started retweeting to the bad comments. His intention was to fight back, but in case that’s not achievable, at least he could clarify the situation in details. Among the things, he wrote:

“This is the sort of ignorance that I have to put up with from time to time. My daughter sees the best in everyone even people like this. I’m very proud of her.”

However, as soon as he started retweeting, the original comments were deleted by the people themselves.

Nevertheless, there were not only bad comments. There were also positive ones, who supported Neil and his daughter. One of them was even Micky Hazard. He wrote:

“Hey Neil your daughter is a beautiful young Lady and that is such a beautiful photo of you both. Sometimes people are cruel because they don’t see the beauty but the vast majority do.”

Besides Hazard, Graham Rogers also posted and he invited Ella to a gala dinner. He said:

“I can’t wait to spend a special evening with her.”

The Spurs’ spokesperson also made announcement regarding this case. For Daily Mail he said:

“We are extremely disappointed to see the reaction by a small minority of people to a social media post by Ella’s father of his daughter at our most recent home game.”

He also added:

“We will do all we can to identify those responsible for these posts and take the appropriate action. We are in contact with Ella’s family to ensure she realises just how grateful we are for her support and that has been reflected even wider by the overwhelmingly positive support to the video from true football supporters.”

Neil finally accomplished what he wanted to achieve. He showed that Ella is “a normal person who would smile at you and doesn’t deserve to have have fun poked at her.”

Thanks to the positive people out there, Neil and his daughter can now relax. Bad people are behind them and hopefully they will leave them alone.

Mother sentenced for 22 years to life for poisoning her 5-year-old son with salt complains jail is too harsh

Mother sentenced to 22 years to life in prison for deliberately poisoning her son with vast amounts of salt throughout the years speaks of her life behind bars. The 28-year-old woman named Lacey Spears complaints how her inmates treat her badly and constantly bully her, calling her “baby killer.”

The case of the death of five-year-old Garnett shook the nation as many were reading his mother’s blogs where she would inform the public and her “fans” of her son’s condition, who she claimed refused to eat. However, doctors, as well as authorities, later learned how the little boy’s feeding bags were full of toxic levels of sodium. 

When sweet Garnett was born back in 2008, his mother Lacey said how the baby’s father was an officer named Blake who suffered a tragic death prior to his son’s birth. It was later discovered how this was a made up story and that the man never really existed.

Baby Garnett was released from the hospital as a perfectly healthy baby, but only days after getting home, he developed problems with malnutrition and dehydration.

Speaking to 48 Hours, Lacey said, “Garnett had severe ear infections … and the biggest problem we had was we couldn’t get him to eat … so he was losing weight…he just would not take a bottle, he would not take baby food, he would not nurse.” As a result of that, she took her son to numerous hospitals where he was seen by many doctors.

At one occasion, doctors at a hospital in Alabama found Garnett’s sodium levels to be as high as 180. This was way higher than the normal ranges for infants. Lacey claimed the boy refused any food at that point and instead of gaining weight, he was losing it.

During the first nine months of his life, Garnett was hospitalized 23 times and the fact he wasn’t receiving the essential nutritients to survive worried the doctors.

Lacey spread the word of her ill son all over the social media and kept people update of his condition on her blog “Garnett’s Journey.”

Garnett’s condition only improved after he and Lacey moved to Chestnut Ridge, N.Y. back in 2012. They resided at an alternative and holistic community called The Fellowship Community and spent around a year and a half at the place. According to Lacey, her son was thriving there and things seemed to turn just right for them.

“He was a little social butterfly and he loved it,” Spears told “48 Hours.”

Unfortunately, that didn’t last long as shortly after he turned five, Lacey’s “little prince” was hospitalized again. Doctors monitored his brain activity by setting up a special wired cap on his little head.

The results showed that the sodium levels in Garnett’s body were extremely high. He was then transferred to Westchester’s Maria Fareri Children’s Hospital by helicopter, but nothing could be done. It was already too late for the sweet little angel to be saved. The high levels of sodium made his brain swell.

Doctors believed it was Lacey who poisoned her son with salt over the five years of his life. They alerted the authorities of their suspicions. During the police search of Lacey’s place, they seized hundreds of items, including the bottle of sea salt shown in the photo below.

Garret was declared dead on Jan. 23, 2014 and his mother was arrested on June 17, that same year.

Lacey Spears was convicted of murder. The judge said how what her son had to go through while under her care was “nothing short of torture.”

The main evidence against her was the footage taken at the boy’s hospital room. It clearly showed how Lacey took the child in her arms and brought him to the bathroom. Only seconds after they returned, Garnett started feeling worse and was seen putting his head in the bed. His mother was just looking at him as the medical staff was trying to save him.

It was later determined how for the time they left the room, she put salt in his feeding bag.

NY Daily News reported how Garett’s feeding bags that were at his mother’s home contained life-threatening concentrations of salt. One of them contained doses that were equal to 69 McDonald’s salt packets.

This mother always found a way to fool doctors when asked about her son’s health, saying he experienced eating issues.

She continues claiming how she didn’t harm her child and had nothing to do with his death. She insists that the reason for his passing were the numerous procedures that weakened his body.

However, according to the judge who convicted her to 22 years to life, she obviously suffers from a condition where parents make up or cause health issues in their children all for the sake of gaining public attention.

He proceeded saying, “One does not have to be a psychologist to know that you suffer from a mental illness known as Munchausen Syndrome.”

While serving her sentence in Bedford Hills prison, Lacey complains how inmates bully her and call her “baby killer.” She spoke to John Glatt, the author of the book about her and said how she wanted to be transferred to another prison.

Her sister Rebecca told Glatt about Lacey, “When she walked through the line and it would be her turn to pick up the tray (someone) would put salt packets over her meal and then hand the tray to her.”

“It’s been brutal here. Crimes involving children are considered the worst here,” Lacey reportedly told Glatt.

“I hear them talking behind my back, calling me ‘baby killer,’ ‘child killer,’ and ‘mother of the year.’ But I know it’s not who I am.”

On the other hand, she refuses protective custody at a maximum security facility because she doesn’t want to be spending 23 hours a day in solitary confinement.

This woman was able to poison her child and see him die right in front of her eyes only to gain the sympathy of her Facebook followers.

Some people still consider her the perfect mother she tried to present herself to the world, as she still finds ways to stay in touch with the outside world.

Below is the video which depicts the exact moment Garett’s condition gets worse and he eventually dies. Lacey could be seen getting him to the bathroom and reportedly carrying the salt in her hand.

Take a look at the whole story and make your mind up on this case yourself.

Man and fiancee snap photo of cop, reveals officer’s secret rendezvous on side of road

Darren Ballard from Tacoma, Washington shared a great story with us. It’s something we cannot see on regular basis.

This resident of Tacoma, Washington was driving his car. In the car was his fiancée as well. While they were driving the car, they had to stop next to a police car.

When they stopped, Ballard saw the car of the sheriff’s deputy. The police car was not the reason for his surprise, though. What was happening next to the car got Ballard’s attention.

Thanks to Ballard’s interest to capture that moment we can all witness this interesting case.

The sheriff was sitting on the side of the road. At first glance it was difficult to notice what was actually happening. However, Ballard couldn’t miss the man sitting next to the sheriff.

For CBS News, Ballard says:

”I just couldn’t believe my eyes.”

What Ballard actually witnessed was a kindness in action. The good and kind heart of the sheriff was evident from the photo that has been posted. He shared his lunch with one homeless guy.

Ballard adds:

“I look over and there’s an officer in uniform, sitting on the grass, sitting with a homeless guy sharing a sandwich and I was just blown away”, he said.

He goes on:

“Just saw this cop having a sandwich with a homeless guy … wanting no attention just doing a good deed,”

Soon he posted the photo and added this comment:

“There are good police officers out there … this made my day, please share!”

The post and the image was spread immediately. Thousands of people saw what the sheriff did. Everyone admired the man’s kindness and generosity.

One person wrote:

“I think this is fabulous. Cops are humans too — just like this fellow that happens to be homeless.”

Another one added:

“Most are good people. It’s nice to see this side of them.”

Details about the sheriff and the homeless person appeared after the photo was posted on-line.

The Pierce County Sheriff’s Department spokesperson Ed Troyer announced that the deputy wanted to remain anonymous. He also added that when he found the man he started talking to him and that’s how they meet each other.

The spokesperson said:

“Our deputy asked him if he was hungry the man said he was. So the deputy sat down with him and shared his lunch with the man,”

Furthermore, he explains that things like this one happen quite often in the department. They are proud of that.

In addition he appreciates the share of the news.

“It’s nice for the police, who do handle their job with the utmost passion and respect in the field, get a break with some good positive news for a change.”

A similar case is recorded in Jackson, Tennessee. Elizabeth McClain informs us about the scene.

She saw a homeless man at the side of the road. He had a backpack and his state made Elizabeth feel sorry for the man. He looked tired and hungry.

However, as soon as she saw the man, a police car came and a police officer approached the homeless man.

She posted the story on her Facebook page and she wrote:

”Imagine sitting on the side of the road with everything you own, fitting in a backpack.”

She goes on:

“You’re lonely and hungry. You put your head down to try and forget the scream of hunger echoing in your mind. Then you hear the sound of an engine stop.”

“You look up to see a uniformed officer walking towards you. Your mind flutters thinking of everything you might be doing wrong. Suddenly this officer sits down pulls out lunch and not only takes away your hunger but your loneliness too.”

She also adds:

“This is the side of law enforcement no one sees,” she said, reminding others that we are all human and deserve love and respect.”

“So share this.”

“Show this officer that his act of kindness didn’t go unnoticed.”

These two officers are excellent examples. They taught us a lesson  about how we should behave in our society. 

We should show more respect and support for those who are out of luck. They need us!

Well done Sirs!

Clerk Tells Man $600 Lotto Ticket Only Worth $5. Served Brutal Justice When He Returns

Those of us who are lucky enough win the lottery and their dreams come true. Extra money is always a great thing and they do come in handy.

However, there is always that doubt of scamming. No matter how good the person is, there are always the fears of being scammed and cheated.

In some cases it’s the organizer who does the scamming, while in many cases it is the cashier that is responsible for such scamming.

A story of this type was broadcast by WBBH-TV. The story comes from Myers, Florida. 

Everything started with a guy entering Winn-Dixie Liquors to claim his money reward.

But, the cashier turned out to be nothing but a complete liar. Instead of giving the man $600 for the ticket, the cashier told him the ticket worth $5.

Clever trick for cheating people. The plan is intended to be working and that means easy money for the cashier. However, the things didn’t go as planned.

The cashier was Crystelle Yvette Baton. She took out $5 bill from her handbag, gave it to the man and took the ticker for herself. She thought the job is done.

Nevertheless, the surprise was about to be revealed. The man with the ticket was actually an employee of Florida Lottery Commission’s security division. He was undercover.

The cashier was caught. She was charged with larceny grand theft and she had to appear in court later in February.

Busting cashier workers is part of the regular obligations of the commission. According to the commission, they make “these random visits to sellers to make sure the games are played properly.”

Regarding this case, Winn-Dixie announced the following: 

“We are taking this matter very seriously as the trust and safety of our customers is our highest priority.”

Their promise was actually realised. Later they have said: “The associate’s employment has been terminated.”

Be aware of such people and scams. Many people are not even aware that things like these may happen, but they are more common than you think.

Thanks to the commission and their efforts, cashiers are being busted on regular basis. We do hope that this type of crime will be severely punished and people will not be cheated in the future.
