"The high point of my latest sojourn in England was my visit with Haile Selassie I, Elect of God, King of Kings, the Conquering Lion from the Tribe of Judah, emperor of Ethiopia. He was living in Bath, about an hour and a half's ride by train from London, on a beautiful estate located on an elevation in the suburb of the city. The attendants were expecting me and ushered me immediately into the room where his majesty received his visitors. Promptly at 4 o'clock Haile Selassie appeared and greeted me cordially. As soon as the preliminary was over, I sat down. Not being accustomed to being ushered into the presence of emperors and kings, I am not at all sure this was the proper caper. Everybody else who came into the room remained standing." Mary Church Terrell

Pray for a Grieving Family
A friend in my hometown was once really going through a difficult time in her life. She had lost her son because he was caught in the crossfire of a shooting and died. Then, on the day of her son's repast, his four-year-old son, her grandson, was hit by a truck and died. This mother, these grandparents, these relatives, this family, had been shaken to the core. I'm sure their faith was shattered; their hearts were beyond broken, and their trust in God was on the brink. What can we do as humans to make them feel less pain and better? How do we minister to them? What should we do? What should we say? When and how shall we say it?
