committing suicide in his underground Führerbunker, Hitler stepped outside
with an SS officer to survey nearby bomb damage from Allied Forces. On April
30, 1945, Hitler learned Berlin had fallen into Allied Forces control and that his
Third Reich, after 12 years, would inevitably be destroyed. Hitler then quickly
married his long-term mistress, Eva Braun, and prepared his last will and political
statement with his secretary, Traudl Junge, at about 4:00 p.m. ...

Seeing Her Child Born via Surrogate, Mom's Reaction
GENEVIEVE SHAW BROWN,Good Morning America Tue, Apr 19 6:10 PM PDT
For Kim Overton,
the journey that joyfully ended with seeing her son, Oliver, being born
via surrogate
was a long and painful one.
Overton, who was diagnosed as having fibroid tumors in 2005, was able to
give birth to her 4-year-old son, Dylan, after a surgery. When she decided
she'd like another baby, she thought another surgery would do the trick.
She was wrong.
A second myomectomy -- the removal of the fibroids in her uterus -- took
place, but Overton wasn't able to have a child. It was then her thoughts
turned to surrogacy, she wrote on her blog.
She told ABC News that seeing Oliver, now 4 weeks old, being born
was "surreal." Her surrogate was her cousin's daughter, Cydnee, who
volunteered to carry the baby.
The experience was documented by Leilani Rogers, a birth photographer
from Austin, Texas, where Overton and Cydnee live.
"I was panicking, wanted to do skin-to-skin as soon as he was born,"
Overton said. "It was all happening so fast. It only took a few minutes
for Cydnee to push him out."
At the time she gave birth to her older son, Overton was a single mom.
It was during the surrogacy process she met her now-husband, who
himself has a son.
"I had known him for about a month when he asked me if I wanted to
have a second child," Overton said. "I told him that we had just transferred
an embryo to my surrogate the day before. He was thrilled." She said she
knew then that he was the one.
Overton wants people to know that just because she did not carry Oliver,
she feels the exact same love for him as she does for her other son. "The
experience," she said, "was all positive. There is no negative, There is no
deficit."
Oliver's birth story is "a beautiful one," added Overton. "He'll always know
how many people and how much love surrounded him at his birth."
As for Cydnee, Overton said she holds her "on a pedestal."

What kind of father did you have? Some dads are great examples of God the
Father to us, while others leave their children wanting dearly for love they
never received. You see, no matter where our dads fell on the spectrum of
lousy to godly, no father is perfect. Even the most godly and faithful of fathers
will not be able to completely exemplify God the Father to his family. We all
need at least some measure of healing, and the good news is God is always
faithful to provide restoration where it is needed!
What comes to mind when you think of your dad? What good things did he
show you about God? Where are some areas you might need healing? Tell us
below, and we will stand with you in prayer!

Firefighters Face Venomous Snakes

Firefighters came across a new danger while battling a South
Carolina house
fire — about a dozen venomous snakes. Local media outlets report the James
Island homeowner, who workers in nuisance wildlife removal, told fire crews
Tuesday to be aware of up to 80 reptiles in the home's garage. Officials say
about a dozen of the reptiles were poisonous snakes. Firefighters had the blaze
under control within an hour, but they couldn't enter the home while deadly
snakes were potentially on the loose. James Island Fire Chief Chris Seabolt
says six snakes made it out alive, four of which were venomous. He says the
surviving reptiles were taken to the Edisto Serpentarium. No one was hurt in
