WELCOME January 19, 1998 Issue

To Our Readers

William E. Moody

This Morning As I'm writing from home, I look out on a fresh snowfall. Yesterday the ground was bare. Yet during the night the snow came quietly over our hill. Now everything is brilliant. It all sparkles in the early morning sunlight. Countless diamonds on trees, along the garden's border, on the window ledge. Everything is fresh, new, bright. It's a perfectly grand morning.

I think that when we experience spiritual healing, especially when pain is cast away, it can feel like that. Life itself is fresh, new, bright. The cover story this week explores a spiritual approach to defeating pain that relies on the healing power of prayer. It's worth reading.

Also in reviewing this week's contents, I was reminded of Ruby Bridges. You may know her story. Ruby was the six-year-old African-American girl who was assigned by a federal judge to integrate one of the public schools in New Orleans in the 1960s. The other students and their parents boycotted the school for many weeks. Ruby was the only child who went to classes.
