So my friend Carlos Whittaker (@loswhit on twitter, ragamuffinsoul.com on the blog) and his family have gone “viral” … I just watched him on the CBS Morning Show.  It’s so funny how a simple video can become an instant phenomenon!  Of course, ‘Los and Heather are always blogging, tweeting, and capturing their family on video, so this is one of thousands that “caught on”.  It’s the kids singing along to Beyonce’s “Single Ladies”.

The video is of their adopted son, Losiah … well … you’ll just have to see it.  Carlos did an awesome job on CBS bringing adoption to the forefront.

Kudos, Whittakers!

Jesus Saves by highestpraise

Lyrics:

Your wounded hands have broken my chains
Your holiness has carried the weight
And I am the sum of failing and of grace
You overcame

Jesus saves my Jesus saves
Jesus saves my Jesus saves

Your innocence has covered my shame
Your love has spoken me by name
And I have victory over the grave over the grave
You overcame

Jesus saves my Jesus saves
Jesus saves my Jesus saves

I was dying You came for me
Now I’m living for my savior
Hope is rising up within me
You’re my Savior and Lord
