and operate libraries, muse-
ums, concert halls and any
number of other things that,
combined, do not come close
to benefiting the number of
people entertained in our
sports stadiums. Much of the
diums is paid by
team owners and
their sponsors,
which is not the
case for some of
the other public
projects. These
stadiums offer a
public resource
that is unobtain-
able any other
way. When Hur-
New Orleans' stadium was
capable of providing shelter
to so many for so long. Sup-
pose it had never been built?
We seem to want to demon-
ize other people's interests
and ideas, but we need all of
our interests and ideas. Why
not change your question to
ask how we can make better
use of sports stadiums? Why
couldn't museums put exhib-
its next to the food vendors?
Why couldn't art be displayed
on the walls? Why can't the
big screens show snippets of
information about the home
team's mascot at halftime--
say Native American history
in the wild? Why
can't our stadiums
bring together our
sports and intellec-
tual interests? For
that matter, why
couldn't a library
put a temporary
extension in a cor-
ner of a stadium
on game day?
I remember fondly
classes in a rural grammar
school and high school. They
are just as entitled to a public
venue in which to showcase
the physical skills as any op-
era singer, scientist or artist.

giously read every issue of the
War Cry. After reading about
Lorrie Wolfe and family in
the article "The Other Side of
Fear," I am compelled to say
this is one of the most moving
stories I have read in
recent years. It high-
lights exactly how
a Christian and a
Christian organization
should respond to fami-
lies in need.
Thank you for publish-
ing this story in such
a compelling manner.
It deeply touched my
heart. Undoubtedly
it will be a means of
blessing to all who read it. It
certainly made me proud to be
a Salvationist for 80 years and
a commissioned officer for 40
years. The War Cry just gets
better and better. Blessing on
all involved in publishing this
wonderful magazine.

America has its idols and Baals
just as Judah and Israel did
in the Old Testament--from
TV programs to NAS-
CAR to baseball to
football. We are also
addicted to ungodly
fashions coming from
Paris, London and
Hollywood. We have
plenty of time for all
kinds of trivia and
absolutely no time for
God, church and spiri-
tual endeavors. Our
lifestyles are saturated
with the secular and are off
the charts of God's require-
ments for holiness, sacred
songs and music. "Take time
to be holy" is unknown in
our noisy world. Arizona is a
magnet for wealth which sup-
ports all kinds of sports but we
have no money for God, the
church, missions or the poor.

it by taking it over to the

this only to tell you that I
don't want to receive the

will have an opportunity
to read it by actually hav-

July 2013 issue of the War
Cry. This was the
first time I've seen
the magazine, and
I found it to be a
wonderful read!
Each article was
packed with great
insight and wisdom.
Reading the War
Cry also made me
realize that I am
indeed a part of
something great.
I've been a contributor to

years. It is one organization
that truly is carrying out the
works of Jesus Christ, giving
Him all the glory. Thank you
for being true to the Lord

"Her life is in her hands."
Did the father in the story
of the Prodigal Son "take
clear inventory of his own

inheritance and let him go?
Remember his response
when his son repented and
wanted to return home?
Children mature emotion-

After the book Tough Love

compassion, grace and love.
