Taming the Monster:
A respected Christian leader confronts her hidden struggle
Taming the angry monster.
Power for Living our Sunday morning Bible study handout recently talked about the problem of anger within. Author Kathy Collard Miller told of how she abused her daughter in anger. “It started with yelling and then I was spanking in anger and then it got to the point where I kicked Darcy and pushed her onto the floor.”
Everything changed including her marriage when she learned to trust God. “Larry was not the source of my happiness, contentment, and security. God was. He could give me everything I need.” (more…)

Here is an interesting editorial by a Roman Catholic in Louisiana. It shows the importance of work done by SBC volunteers like our Mississippi team.

Mike and Becky
What a blessing Matthew and Anna are! Yet we have so many other reasons for which to thank God for the Mike and Becky and their ministry among us. Our first associate pastor and wife have been such a blessing to us. Neither we nor they will ever be the same.

Living Together
I was at another meeting of the Cecil County Healthy Marriage initiative yesterday morning. We were looking at ways that churches can help save hurting marriages, encourage healthy marriage, and prevent divorce.
