BLIZZARD-LIKE CONDITIONS LEAVE A TRAIL OF CLOSED ROADS AND COLLISIONS

STEPHEN COLBERT AND DUA LIPA SHARE A DEEP DISCUSSION ABOUT RELIGION ON LIVE TV
In an interview on The Late Show, Dua Lipa, whose family is Muslim, praised Stephen Colbert for being so outspoken about his faith; that being Catholicism.
"I am a Christian and a Catholic. And that is always connected to the idea of love and sacrifice, being somehow related and giving yourselves to other people. And that death is not defeat."
The pop star also asked him which rules his life, comedy or his faith. He answered that his faith will "win out in the end." Even Christian theologian Timothy Keller praised the comedian for the way he expresses his faith in the limelight.
This is a brilliant example of how to be a Christian in the public square. Notice the witness, but in a form the culture can handle. We should desire to have more Christians in these spaces and give them grace as they operate. https://t.co/0QaXuwzYSa

AMERICA'S GOT TALENT CONTESTANT SHARES ENCOURAGING PARTING MESSAGE
Jane Kristin Marczerski, also known as Nightbirde, started gaining recognition when appearing on the TV show America's Got Talent. It was her incredible positivity and vulnerability in her battle with cancer that captured the hearts of many people.
She passed away on Febr. 21 but left a video to help encourage her fans one last time.
"Just because you're sad or grieving doesn't mean you're not grateful and it doesn't mean that you're not hopeful. It doesn't mean that you still aren't fighting for your life, that you still don't have it in you to keep going. But sadness and grief, and mourning, and lamenting, and screaming, and crying, these are ways that we honour what was lost."
'JESUS REVOLUTION,' A NEW AND POWERFUL UPCOMING CHRISTIAN FILM
Back in the 60s and 70s, there was a movement that some people called the "Jesus Movement," and this serves as the inspiration for the new movie set to release in 2023 with Kelsey Grammar and Jonathan Roumie as co-stars.

"The true story in Jesus Revolution reminds us that hope is never lost, and through even the most challenging of times, with faith, change is possible," says Director Jon Erwin.
