My neighbor's son died the other day |

By Steve Straessle
 My neighbor’s son died the other day. He was a beautiful kid only 21 years into this world. Police and ambulance sirens blared as they raced up our street in an effort to revive him, but the sirens served only as an alarm that a life had been extinguished much too soon.
The boy’s parents are constantly soggy-eyed now, and they busy themselves in the yard in the hope that physical exhaustion will somehow exorcise the pain in their souls.
The boy’s father was mowing the yard when I pulled up next to him. I was backing out of my driveway, and the car was filled to the brim with my five kids and their mother. I almost felt guilty as he peered in the back window and caught a glimpse of the activity and promise belted into the seats.
I told him how sorry I was for his loss. My wife quietly began sobbing when she saw my neighbor’s face. My neighbor said simply, “He was a good boy, he just had a problem.”

Faith keeps family together after tragedy |
|
|
|
My husband and I are actively involved in several ministries in our church, and we were absorbed in planning for Christmas events including planning meals, making all kinds of lists and cleaning and decorating our house.
In the midst of these thoughts the phone rang. When I answered, an unfamiliar male voice said, “Is this Jared’s mother?” I answered yes, trying to remember if I had ever heard the voice before. He continued, “This is Mary’s father, have you seen her or Jared? They seem to be missing or at least we haven’t been able to reach them.”

Over 60? Maybe it's time to skip the drink. |

When you get to be over 60, it’s probably best to skip the cocktails and other alcoholic beverages.
To some this may sound grim, but embrace it, says Dr. David Lipschitz. The benefits can be huge.
 Dr. Lipschitz, now with St. Vincents Hospital in Little Rock and a noted author and former chairman of the geriatrics department at the University of Arkansas for Medical Sciences College of Medicine (UAMS), makes a good case.
“Substance-related disorders of all types remain overlooked in geriatric patients,” Dr. Lipschitz says, and by that he means overlooked by both the patients and the doctors who aren’t dealing with it as effectively as they might.

If you are pregnant don't drink.
If you are drinking don't get pregnant
By Cynthia Crone
Don’t drink if you are pregnant or may become pregnant. Period. It sounds harsh, doesn’t it? It may to some, but not to those who are paying the price.
Like this family.
Ginny’s mother and father are having marital problems. And parenting problems. And school problems. It seems that all the problems have something in common: Ginny.

The Pat Summerall story
By David Palmer
Pat Summerall’s epiphany, that moment of truth when he knew that he was in serious trouble with alcohol, came while he was broadcasting the 1992 annual Masters Golf tournament at Augusta, Georgia for CBS. It was something he had done and done impeccably for 24 years.
In a radio interview this year with Dennis Rainey, President of Family Life in Little Rock, Summerall, a former Arkansas Razorback, New York Giant and premiere broadcaster, described his ghastly confrontation with the truth.
“I was staying in Augusta in a strange house…I had a few drinks before I went to bed, and I got sick. I got up at three in the morning, and I went into the bathroom and threw up, and I looked at—this is kind of gross—but I looked at what had come out of me, and I didn’t realize what it was. It was part of my stomach, and it was blood. And I thought, “what the heck, what’s wrong with me?”
