Great post Dockworker,

With all the bad stuff going on in our world all around us.
Its really nice to see something good going on for a change.
 
If I remember right, some guys gave him a bunch of sh*t for this becuase he lied or someone accused him of lying about what happened to his son or somthing.

There will always be someone out there with a "Why not me" attitude and they will try to **** on everyone's parade. Don't we see them on a daily basis ourselves.

I am sure that this show fully researches every situation before they invest in this costly endeavor weekly.
 
My family and I are watching the show rite now. Let me tell you what that kid can sing and jam on the piano. Man he is good
 
Its amazing how at times we think we have it so tough. That kid makes you think a little bit. As alot of other familys we see on this show do also.

We all go threw tough times. Some go threw tougher times. We sometimes take things for granted. We are not thankful for what we have and we want more.

Yesterday my kids and I one 5 years old and the other 10 years old with our church childrens group took lunches to a homeless shelter. It was a real awakining. I made the children feel good to help familys in need.

To me this show is truley what a reality TV showshould be.
 
I'm jealous! They have such a cool techie house!
They deserve it though.:hide:

Again, that kid has got such an amazing personality.
I was inspired by his ability despite his disability.
