Spending your life being married to Satan
U I was married to Satan,”
stated Jimmy Carter in
a radio interview.
Carter is an entertainment
critic who reports on new
movies and stage produc
tions and keeps the gossip
flowing on what’s happening
in the lives of movie stars
and entertainers.
Since he spends a lot of
time in Nashville, Tenn., he
reports regularly on the ups
and downs of country and
western singers. Carter is no
novice to matrimonial woes,
as he has been divorced sev

'NewSong's' Middleton
to give solo concert
Eddie Middleton, formerly of
“New Song” will give two solo
performances on Aug. 20 at the
First Baptist Church, Kathleen.
The performances will at the
10:45 a.m. and 6 p.m. worship
services. There is no charge, but
a love offering will be taken.
Considered a unique voice in
contemporary Christian music,
Middleton has just released
his first solo album “Spirit of
Celebration” which is filled with
songs of worship and celebration
to encourage the church.
He sang for 13 years with the
contemporary Christian group,
“New Song”. Middleton and
New Song recorded seven albums,
their last being “All Around
the World” with the Benson
Company. This album produced
six No. 1 adult contemporary
hits, and one No. 2 on the inspi
rational charts. New Song was
nominated for the 1993 Dove
Award “Group of the Year”.
Middleton’s musical roots go
deep into R&B and Motown
music. This influence can be
heard in some of the New Song
classics: “Arise, My Love”,
“Forever King”, “Light Your
World”, “Wholehearted”, the
50’s song, “Say Yes”, and Eddie’s
remake of “Reach Out, I’ll Be
There” by the Four Tops.

QUESTION: My wife
and I are above average
in height. I’m 6 foot 3
inches and she’s 5 foot
9' inches. We both had
rather tall parents, too.
Nevertheless, our daugh

9 years old and is only
at the third percentile
for height. What could
be causing this, and what
do you think we should
do?
DR. DOBSON: There are
many factors that influence
a child’s growth, includ
ing a deficiency of growth
hormones, heredity, nutri
tion, and the status of the
boy or girl’s general health.
There is only one way to
know what is causing your
daughter’s failure to grow,
and that is to take her to
an endocrinologist or other
physician who specializes in
these problems. The right

dumping her latest conquest

blunt to volunteer that his
former wife was Satan in
the flesh, a veritable witch
in disguise who made his life
a living hell.
I had a friend who mar

marriage and her second.
As expected, she wrecked
his life and their marriage
didn’t last long.
By latest count, his for

Middleton says, “I like to sing,
but I love to preach God’s Word
and see people come to know
Jesus Christ. It doesn’t get any
better than that.
If you have close family, friends,
and neighbors who are search

to hear a life-changing story.
Forever is a long time - every

Let me ask, by the way, is

QUESTION: Yes, as a

Why do you ask?
DR. DOBSON: Because

wisdom. Yet, Solomon in kll
his glory was pulled doWn
into the dregs of apostasy by
his foreign wives.
Possibly, his greatest mis
take was assembling a harem
of a thousand wives and con
cubines, many of whom influ
enced him to build shrines
to the gods of Ammon and
Moab. Solomon himself w&s
drawn to the Phoenician
goddess, Ashtaroth.
The Scripture states that
“when Solomon was old, his
wives turned away his heart
after other Gods, and his
heart was not wholly true
to God.”

a threat or problem, but a
generalized worry about
many things over years of
time.
One study showed that
anxious girls had high blood
levels of the stress hormone
cortisol, which can stunt
growth.
Interestingly, anxious boys
in the investigation were not
found to have higher corti
sol levels, and they did not
tend to be shorter than their
peers.
This suggests that girls
may respond to stress bio
logically differently thari
boys. For whatever reasons;
anxiety is linked to lesser 1

Consequently, the Lord
became angry with Solomon
and declared his kingdom
would be torn apart when
he died.
The most notorious sym
bol of female depravity in
Biblical history was Jezebel.
She was the daughter of the
King of Sidon and the wife of
King Ahab of Israel.
Being a strong-willed wife
who dominated her husband,
she corrupted everyone
around her and promoted
worship of the Phoenician
god, Baal.
Resistance to Jezebel was
led by the prophet Elijah.

Summer vacation has reached an end
for students. It is back to school and
time to buckle down to studies.
A youngster was asked if he liked
school. He honestly replied, “No!” He
then was asked, “If you don’t like school,
how do you learn?” Quickly he answered,
“I listen.”
The lad is on the right track. So often
knowledge is lost sim
ply because the sub
ject is not of interest.
Willingness and desire
to learn make it pos
sible to conquer obsta
cles that might other
wise hold us back.
Proverbs 19:20 tells
us to “Listen to advice
and accept instruc
tions, that you may
gain wisdom for the
future.” The young
student who, although he did not like
school, I was willing to listen in order to
learn, portrays a good example.
As students of life, we are each con
fronted with situations we might choose
to avoid. Although we do not always like
the subjects we are dealing with, we can
learn to cope with them and gain wisdom
in the process.
of your children experi

DR. DOBSON: No, but our
daughter once had a very
unusual nightmare. When
she was 4 years old, she
woke up screaming at about
midnight. When I came to
her bed she told me excit
edly that the wall was about
to collapse on her.
“It’s falling. It’s falling,
Daddy! The wall is falling,”
she screamed.
She was obviously very
frightened by the dream.
I took her hand and said,
“Danae, feel that wall. It
has been there a long time.
It isn’t going to fall. You are
OK. Now go back to sleep.”
As she settled down in
the covers, I went back to
bed and was quickly asleep
again.
But six hours later, a pow
erful earthquake rattled Los

Mount Carmel, Elijah called
fire down from heaven that
destroyed the water-soaked
altar and ordered the 550
prophets of Baal to be killed.
In retribution, Jezebel
sought to kill Elijah. Jezebel
met her fate at the hands
of the army commander,
Jehu, who seized the throne.
Jezebel was thrown from
a high window, her blood

Horses trampled her

rushed to Danae’s room to
bundle her up and get her
out of the way of that wall,
which was jumping and
shaking like crazy.
Did our 4-year-old have
