Wave of hope sweeps Thailand
in months after tsunamiChildren play in their "front yards" after the tide comes in to a "Sea Gypsy" village in southern Thailand. Already poor, the village faced starvation when the tsunami of 2004 destroyed their fishing boats. Missionary Mark Caldwell and local Christians brought help and the love of Christ.

Sunset paints a glorious reddish glow across the placid water lapping the beach at Khao Lak, Thailand. The view calms the mind, quiets the heart and and packs in the tourists at posh resorts.

CYBER COLUMN:
The Great American Christmas LetterBy Brett Younger
Dear Friends, Family & Many Readers of the Baptist Standard Whom I’ve Never Met,
My family is not the kind that writes Christmas letters, but each year I read so many heart-warming epistles from wonderful families that I feel inspired. I have to begin by admitting that none of us are learning to dance, quilt or speak French. I’m sorry to say that we are not earning belts of any color in Tae Kwon Do. I’m embarrassed to confess that we have no new houses, cars, pets or children (and have no desire for any of these). Maybe we should have gone to Disneyworld, but we had a good year.
