HOUSTON DAILY JOURNAL 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 eral times.

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.

We both had rather tall parents, too. Nevertheless, our daugh ter is very tiny. She is 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 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. In a famous showdown with Wisdom comes from listening 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 ence night terrors? 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.

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 splattering on the ground. Horses trampled her remains. All that was left of her corpse was a skull, hands, and feet, the fulfill ment of Elijah’s prediction that the dogs would eat her.

I 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.

I don’t know, but I’ll tell you this: I made up my mind that day to believe her the next time she told me the wall was going to fall!
