Marriage in the Midst
Selma and I were married seven years before our first child was born. I thought I knew my wife, but when children entered the picture, I realized there was a lot more “marrying” to be done.
Scripture says our children are a reward (Ps. 127), and ours have been a blessing. But the truth remains: Parenting presents challenges and opportunities for growth in the strongest marriage.

Feeding hungry hearts beneath the lights of Las Vegas
Las Vegas burns and freezes -- 110 degrees in the day and on some nights it dips into the teens. The city’s homeless and hungry feel every temperature shift in this desert where they go nights without shelter or sleep, find their food in garbage bins and wince from the coldness of fellow humans. “You feel lower than low when you’re homeless. At least people will talk to a dog on the street. If you’re homeless, you can’t get a drink of water or get cool when it’s 115 degrees outside because they’ll run you out.”

WORLD HUNGER: It's time to get personal
When will you get personal about hunger? If we take God's Word seriously, the malnourished and hungry are our problem. Hunger is no respecter of geography or ethnic group. It can be felt in an apartment in Eastern Europe, a cardboard shack in Central America, a tent in the Sahara, or a farmhouse in rural America. Southern Baptist missionaries and volunteers are offering nourishment for the body and soul. And every Southern Baptist can have a part in those ministries through gifts to the Southern Baptist World Hunger Fund.
