Agency offers healing from
tsunami's emotional damage

By Craig Bird

Baptist Child & Family Services

As staggering as the visible destruction from last December's tsunami still is in Sri Lanka, the hidden emotional damage–especially to children–probably is even worse, Baptist Child & Family Services officials insist.

WACO–Women passed through the door expecting to learn more about Islam and enjoy a cup of tea. Instead, they found themselves covering their heads with scarves and removing their shoes as they entered into a time of prayerful intercession for Muslim women.

EDITORIAL:
Take 'ONE' step to end world hunger

Here's a sobering test of faith: “If anyone has material possessions and sees his brother in need but has no pity on him, how can the love of God be in him?” (1 John 3:17)

Severe hunger plagues at least 800 million people. They don't just “go to bed hungry”; they live hungry. They don't just miss a meal; they don't receive enough nutrients to sustain their organs. They don't just look skinny; they die.

When I was a kid, we referred to these people as the “starving children in China.” But that's just a metaphor for a horrible reality. Children have it the worst, but they're joined closely by the elderly and nursing mothers, as well as adults with mental and physical illnesses. China is far from the most treacherous place for hunger. Hunger spans the globe, but it's most acute in Africa.

CYBER COLUMN:
Footsteps of Jesus?

By Brett Younger

I recently got a call from The Fort Worth Star-Telegram, because they needed an expert on flip-flops. I was surprised to learn that my ministerial standing makes me an authority on footwear, but if the shoe fits.

On July 12, the Northwestern University’s women’s lacrosse team went to the White House and created a stir when half of the players wore flip-flops. When the photograph appeared in local papers, some of their mothers burst into tears. This is, of course, a major issue that raises questions regarding the state of America’s youth as well as national security.
