Healing comes
Easter is all about resurrection life here and now — freely available for followers of Christ. More people attend church on Easter than any Sunday of the year and there are many service options, including sunrise celebrations. (See listings in The Calendar, pages 8-13.) Many churches offer Good Friday services such as Nail Your Pain to the Cross at the Salvation Army San Diego Citadel Corps. For 20 years, congregants and visitors from the community have committed prayer burdens or confessions to paper and nailed them to a large wooden cross. Knowing their paper Please turn to page 12

Grassroots campaign seeking funds to include chapel at new hospital By JUDY ERICKSON As Palomar Health District (until March known as Palomar-Pomerado Health District) prepares to open its large new hospital in West Escondido, some employees feared the 40-50 acre campus would not include a chapel. In 2009, the health district board announced its decision to defer chapel construction along with some other nonclinical features because construction costs went up. “At the time the thinking was that some of these features could be restored in the future with donations,” said Palomar’s media relations specialist Leonel Sanchez.

Former gang member returns in love to Posole neighborhood By RICK MONROE Frank Barron grew up in a tough part of Oceanside known as Posole neighborhood. Others call it the Eastside area, notorious for its gangs. It’s still a rough area and it’s still tormented by gangs. And Barron, who turned 60 on March 27, is still involved in gang life — only now his focus is showing teenagers and preteens God’s love and that there’s a way out. “I talk to kids in the elementary school and they say their goal in life is acceptance in a gang,” the Hispanic senior citizen shared recently over breakfast. “They live 10 minutes from the ocean, but many have never seen the beach because they’re afraid to leave their neighborhood. There’s so much more they can have with Jesus.” Barron knows the story well, because it was also his story. Growing up in a home without a father, he joined the gang in 8th grade and at 14 left home. By 16, he had dropped out of school and was packing a .38, which he found useful for protection and activities like robbing local banks. He became ad-

That’s when the persistence of Encinitas barber Art Jenson came into the picture. Every time he saw Barron, he would tell him that Jesus loved him and that there was a way out of the gangs. In 1977, when Barron was 26 years old and really strung out on heroin, Jenson came to his rescue, taking him to Teen Challenge Please turn to page 14
“The hospital is an evolving project, with some floors not slated to open at first.” Chapel space has been allocated on the second floor of the 11-story, 740,000square-foot “Hospital of the Future” with 288 patient beds — and plans for 360 — plus 12 operating rooms. However, the approximate $956 million spent to open doors Aug. 19 does not cover building out the planned chapel, healing gardens, or community room. In February, Palomar Health District CEO Michael Covert informed Palomar employees that the chapel would cost an additional $500,000. Sanchez said a very dedicated group of Please turn to page 15

FOCUS ON SKYLINE FAMILY — Dr. James Dobson prays for three fathers from Skyline Church who are representing the fathers of Skyline’s three senior pastors: Orville “Pop” Butcher, John Maxwell and Dr. Jim Garlow (left). Garlow wanted dads to be prayed for during the March 25 dedication of the church’s prayer room because of their leadership roles in the family. “Our hope is that the room — called ‘Our Father’s House of Prayer’ — will inspire young dads to live godly and prayerful lives,” Garlow said. Dobson also dedicated the The Heritage Walk, which includes 300 individuals, beginning with God, Adam and Eve and Noah, going through Old and New Testament heroes, down through history. It includes 15 who are still living, all over 70, including several in attendance — James and Shirley Dobson, Tim and Beverly LaHaye, Vonette Bright and Don Wildmon.

A midlife crisis? Digging into a male’s heart
B
ill and I never set out to become specialists on marriage — let alone midlife marriage — but we had the good fortune to be mentored by Jim Conway, the man who popularized the whole midlife concept. Bill recently took the reins of www.mid-life.com. Midlife is the No. 1 time for couples to toss in the towel. Often, it is because of men and affairs. However, startling new statistics reveal the number of women having affairs has risen significantly in recent years, as has the divorce rate for those over 40. More
women are bailing out on their marriages at midlife. In a recent AARP survey of those who divorced from ages 40 to 69, 66 percent of women reported that they asked for the divorce. The ability to hang on to love is a bit easier when we realize all that is going on in a midlife marriage. In my (Pam’s) new book, 10 Secrets of Living Smart, Savvy and Strong, I list more than 100 symptoms of menopause (everything from hot flashes to having to cross our legs when we laugh!) Couple this with dealing with tweens or

teens, launching young adults, or for some a bonus baby (hot flashes and the terrible twos!). Add the financial pressure of paying for kids’ proms, cars, colleges, and weddings, or caring for aging parents, and that is enough to send many marriages to the brink. But to really understand midlife marriage stress, one has to dig in and learn what is going on in a male’s heart and mind at midlife. Years ago, when my oldest (who is now 29) was 3, I went with my husband to pick up his father for a lunch date. While Bill went into the building to get his father, I stayed in the car with my newborn and my toddler. The parking lot was completely empty, so I decided now would be an appropriate time to nurse my infant. A few moments later, a midlife man in a red convertible sports car drove up next to us and parked. He could have parked anywhere — the parking lot was completely empty — but he chose the spot right next to our car. My impatient toddler hopped out of his car seat and promptly opened his door, swinging it right into the red sports car! I was mortified as I looked at the red-faced man. He seemed ready to blow his top. I felt in danger for myself and for my sons. I whisked Brock into the car, locked the door, looked at the man, and mouthed an “I’m very sorry — we have insurance.” I prayed my husband would return so that we could trade insurance numbers, etc. They were tiny dings, but I still felt bad.
RED HOT MONOGAMY BILL & PAM FARREL However, I was about to feel worse. The man got out of his car and came over to my window and began to beat on it with his fists, swearing and threatening me and my children. Then he got into his car and peeled off in a huff. I was crying and upset when Bill returned to our car. I recounted the story to Bill and his father — and they were outraged that any grown man would act in such a manner, especially toward a nursing mother and toddler. But now that I am in midlife, I have gained new compassion for the man in the red sports car. I am sure he was a frustrated midlife man. That car might have been his only joy. He might have sacrificed for others for years, driving used cars and giving up his golf game so his kids could get tennis shoes. Jim Conway, in his book Men in Midlife Crisis, said he felt at midlife like a vending machine because people always wanted something from him. Recently, I observed what people wanted from my own midlife man: Give me your car keys. Give me your counsel. Give me your money. Please turn to next page

Smith told the story of one troubled high school girl who attended an early morning Bible study after her Campus Life youth worker got to know her and promised to pray for the things in her life that were troubling her. “I met that girl a few weeks ago, when she accepted Christ,” Smith continued, “and she told me ‘if it weren’t for Campus Life I probably wouldn’t be alive.’” On Friday, April 27, San Diego Youth

“A wise man will hear and increase in learning. And a man of understanding will acquire wise counsel.” – Proverbs 1:5 (NAS)
State working to make abortion easier By REBECCA BURGOYNE January 2012 marked the 39th year since the anniversary of Roe v. Wade, the Supreme Court’s decision guaranteeing a woman’s right to an abortion. Since that dark day, millions of lives have been lost or impaired by the trauma of unrestricted abortion on demand.
GUEST COMMENTARY The good news is that — with growing awareness and improved technology — Americans are becoming more pro-life. A poll earlier this year found 79 percent of Americans would not allow abortion after the first trimester, and 51 percent would allow abortion — if at all — only in the cases of rape or incest, or to save the mother’s life. However, while other states move to add restrictions to abortion, making the
OK, folks, here’s a Battle We Can Win!
T
he most important talking point used by those who support the HHS contraception mandate is that the Catholic bishops and their allies are “outof-touch” and represent a minority view. No doubt you have heard things like “98 percent of Catholic women use contraception” and “most Americans, especially women, support the HHS mandate.” Well, it’s not true. The first assertion is based on a study by the Guttmacher Institute, which as an affiliate of Planned Parenthood, is hardly an objective observer. Even the Washington Post compared the media to Pinocchio for using these statistics. In fact, the most that can be concluded is that many sexually-active Catholic women have, at some point in their lives, used contraception. That says nothing about whether they and other Americans support the HHS mandate. Speaking of which, the claim that most Americans, especially women, support the HHS mandate is equally bogus. I know that will surprise you, given what the administration and the media are constantly telling us. But repeating a falsehood doesn’t make it true. For example, a recent New York Times story told readers that, according to its latest poll “women were split as to whether health insurance plans should cover the costs of birth control and whether employers with religious objections should be able
to opt out.” As Mickey Kaus at the Daily Caller put it, “if the Times says women were ‘split,’ you know that must mean they were actually narrowly against the [Times’] preferred position.” And that’s precisely so. By a 46-44 margin, women favored a religious exemption for all employers. The gap widened to 53-38 in the case of religiously-affiliated employers. Men, who do vote after all, were even more supportive of opt-out provisions. Overall, Americans, by 57-to-36 margin favor allowing religiously-affiliated employers to opt out. Remember that statistic. A Wall Street Journal/NBC News poll showed similar results: by 49-to-34 percent, Americans oppose requiring “religious institutions” to provide contraception and abortion-inducing drugs. Now like I say, this may surprise you. It certainly comes as a surprise to the media. While, as Kaus says, the president “appears to be losing the public debate” on the HHS mandate, the media, which overwhelmingly supports the mandate, can’t see it. When the president’s approval ratings drop, they cite gas prices instead. While they may not be able to see it, I can, and you should, too. This is a battle that is both crucial and winnable. The important thing is to keep the focus on where it belongs: religious freedom. The

BREAK POINT CHARLES COLSON early polls were a reaction to the media’s initial announcement that this was all about contraception, but the Catholic bishops and everybody else has been working hard to educate them. And you need to continue to educate people that this is about religious liberty. This battle won’t be won in the pews. It will be won over the backyard fence and during kids’ baseball games. It’s getting warm outside, so break out the grill, throw on some burgers and hot dogs, invite your neighbors over, and start talking. And then phone and e-mail your legislators and the administration. As Mark Twain said, “A lie can travel halfway around the world while the truth is putting on its shoes.” OK, folks, put on your shoes. We are winning. ❏ Chuck Colson is president of Prison Fellowship. He is a radio commentator, speaker and author. Reprinted with permission.
procedure harder to obtain, California has enshrined a woman’s right to an abortion into state law, protecting the state should the Supreme Court overturn Roe v. Wade. A decade ago, the left-leaning California Legislature took great pride in passing several notorious “landmark” abortion bills, including then-Sen. Sheila Kuehl’s bill — which guaranteed California women the right to an abortion (SB 1301) — and AB 2194 (Jackson), which required all residents in obstetrics and gynecology to take abortion training. Pledging to continue to stand for a woman’s right to choose an abortion, then-Gov. Gray Davis commented in a March 28, 2003 press release, “When I became governor, I warned that no bill restricting women’s rights would become law under my watch — and I’ve kept my word. Today, California is the most pro-choice state in America — and proud of it.” Today in 2012, California still claims an abysmal pro-life record. In a national ranking of the states, California remains near the bottom. Only Washington State, which legalized physician-assisted suicide (PAS) by voter initiative, ranks lower. Although the California Legislature has been unsuccessful in promoting PAS, it continues to strengthen a woman’s “right” to an abortion. SB 1501 (Kehoe, D-San Diego), introduced last month, would make abortion more common by expanding those who can provide abortions in the Golden State. Currently, only physicians or surgeons with valid licenses may provide surgical abortions. Certain exceptions exist to authorize other licensed individuals to perform or assist in nonsurgical abortions — those done with pharmacological agents like the morning-after pill. SB 1501 would allow licensed nurse practitioners, physician’s assistants, and midwives to perform or assist in abortions done by medication or aspiration (suction) techniques. In recent years, abortion providers and clinics have been on the decline, and many states are working to restrict — not expand — abortion. Kehoe claims her bill would give greater access to women from rural areas who may have to travel great distances, take time off work, and incur hardship to obtain an abortion. Wrapped in the guise of access and equality, SB 1501 is more about making abortions more common. o Rebecca Burgoyne is a research analyst with the California Family Council.
Letters to the editor
No More Taxes!
We are not being represented in regard to our country’s founders intent. The unrelenting attacks on the working peoples’ pocketbooks are subjecting us to excessive burdens. We need sanity with outrage (we can’t scream too loud or long enough) before it is too late. There is a lot to be said about what “overtaxed “ means because the government enjoys spending our money. The Tea Party has it right: No more taxes! The person in the White House acts (literally) like he doesn’t know the damage he’s doing to the middle class. The latest propaganda supposedly lowers corpora-
tions’ taxes. Ha! Corporations are already taxed. International business would be taxed double, there and here. Close the loopholes. A capital gains rider would lead to a stock market shut down. Corporations should not be taxed at all. The dividends tax raises of 2.10 percent, of which most of the middle class lives, raised to 44.8 percent, nearly triple the taxes! The administration has it wrong about the economy. The last three years the debt has increased $8 trillion. The U.S. debt is $49,461.79 per person and growing. Taxes and regulation penalize productivity. Get informed and tell others. Mary Calgaro Escondido

Starbucks boycott urged due to gay support One of the nation’s leading traditional groups is calling for a boycott of Starbucks because of the company’s support of a gay “marriage” bill and its legal opposition to the Defense of Marriage Act. The “Dump Starbucks” protest by the National Organization for Marriage (NOM) was announced March 21, the same day the organization launched a DumpStarbucks.com website. There, supporters can sign a petition to Starbucks, tell friends via social media about the boycott, and enter their ZIP code to learn of alternatives to Starbucks. NOM President Brian Brown e-mailed supporters that NOM “does not take this step lightly.” NOM representatives, including Maggie Gallagher, attended the Starbucks shareholders meeting Wednesday to challenge the company’s position, but nothing was done, Brown said. NOM was a leading group in reversing gay “marriage” laws in California and Maine. “A portion of every cup of coffee purchased at a Starbucks anywhere in the world goes to fund this corporate assault on marriage,” Brown wrote. “Voters in thirty U.S. states have voted to define marriage as the union of one man and one woman. No state vote has ever supported gay marriage. In many areas of the world where Starbucks does business, the concept of ‘gay marriage’ is unheard of and deeply

offensive to cultural, moral and religious values.” The boycott also is aimed at Seattle’s Best Coffee and Evolution Fresh Juices, which are owned by Starbucks. In a Jan. 24 memorandum to “U.S. partners,” Starbucks Executive Vice President Kalen Holmes said the company was “proud to join other leading Northwest employers in support of Washington State legislation recognizing marriage equality for same-sex couples.” The bill passed and was signed into law but is being challenged by churches via a voter initiative, and could be overturned in November. “This important legislation is aligned with Starbucks business practices and upholds our belief in the equal treatment of partners,” Holmes wrote. “It is core to who we are and what we value as a company.” Last fall, Starbucks signed onto a legal brief urging the U.S. First Circuit Court of Appeals to uphold a ruling that reversed part of the 1996 Defense of Marriage Act. If the decision is upheld, the federal government would be forced to recognize gay “marriages” from any state where it’s legal. Starbucks scored a perfect “gay friendly” score of 100 in the Human Rights Campaign’s annual Corporate Equality Index last year. – Baptist Press
Appeal filed in case about American flag clothing Three high school students, who were ordered to remove their American flag clothing to avoid offending students celebrating their Mexican heritage on Cinco de Mayo in 2010, recently filed an appeal with the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Ninth Circuit. The students hope to reverse a trial judge’s ruling that their constitutional free speech and equal protection rights were not violated.
A San Francisco federal judge in the case Dariano vs. Morgan Hill Unified School District (NO. C 10-02745 JW) ruled last November that officials at Live Oak High School in Morgan Hill acted properly when they ordered the students to change out of their clothing depicting the American flag in order to prevent racial tensions from disrupting a school-sanctioned Cinco de Mayo event held at the school.
“The American flag is not a symbol of racism or race hatemongering,” said William J. Becker Jr., one of the attorneys representing the students. It should never be ordered into a student’s locker just so it won’t offend people because of their pride in another nation’s culture. “The American flag symbolizes unity and promotes a public school’s goal of providing students with opportunities to celebrate their cultural heritage. The First Amendment guarantees students the right to express their patriotism every day of the year regardless of whose cultural heritage is being celebrated.”
Becker sued Live Oak High School in 2010. Chief Judge James Ware dismissed the case after deciding that the school had reason to expect an outbreak of violence over the student’s patriotic expression.

Spirit West Coast returning to Del Mar on May 25-27 After taking a one-year break from its annual run during the Memorial Day weekend at the Del Mar Fairgrounds, Spirit West Coast is back in 2012. Promoter Jon Robberson was interviewed about the new edition of the great weekend of music on May 25-27. Why did you decide to bring SWC back to Del Mar after a hiatus in 2011? Other than the love of presenting this awesome event to Southern California, the real reason for bringing it back is the same reason we brought it to Del Mar back in the first place
back in 2004 — to impact people’s lives with the gospel and provide a time and place for God to work in their hearts. Why did SWC take the hiatus in 2011? Our ministry has been hit pretty hard by the ongoing recession and we lost a lot of money in 2009 and 2010. In spite of those financial difficulties, we’ve stayed committed to presenting a top quality lineup and a spiritually focused event in those years, but we felt we needed to regroup financially in 2011.

PRAISE REPORT
2012? I’m very happy with the lineup this year. There is no better performer than TobyMac, so we’re excited he is appearing on opening night. MercyMe is a perpetual hit maker who delivers spiritually-centered hit after hit, so their concert is perfect for closing night May 27. Sandwiched in between is Tenth Avenue North, who are probably the top new group out today and will be headlining for the first time. Add to these three headliners Matthew West, Male Artist of the Year Chris August and rock bands Family Force 5, Fireflight and Seventh Day Slumber, and we’ve got a lineup with something for everyone. I see you’ve got former Newsboy Peter Furler on the bill? Yes, it’s been over three years since Peter went solo and not only is he appearing but Phil Joel will be with him. Peter will be singing some Newsboys’ favorites and some of his new solo material. Earlier you mentioned the spiritual focus of the festival. Tell me more about what make SWC tick spiritually. Spirit West Coast is about so many different things to the thousands of different people who attend. To some it’s all about the headlining artists and a chance to see so many big names in one place. Others enjoy the chance to see new, emerging bands like The City Harmonic for the first time, and yet others enjoy the children’s area, the activities, the county fair food and generally a fun, good time. But because the entertainment aspects are so front-and-center sometimes is seems the spirituality of the event can be overlooked. But Spirit West Coast is a spiritual event and each year that we’ve been in Del Mar hundreds and hundreds of people have made important life-changing decisions. Speaking of spiritual impact, evangelistic speakers Nick Vujicic and Luis Palau are speaking. How did it come about that you booked them for 2012? When Nick spoke in 2010, it was probably
the most dramatic move of the Lord we’ve ever witnessed at Spirit West Coast — literally thousands of people were touched. Bringing Nick back was a no brainer. As far as Dr. Palau, his crusade last year Promoter Jon Robberson was a tremendous thing for San Diego and we wanted to provide a chance for him to minister to San Diego again. Not only will Dr. Palau and Nick be speaking, but Matthew West, Phil Joel and Joseph Rojas also will be ministering. The festival is a Friday through Sunday, 3-day event but there are single day tickets, right? Sure, thousands travel from all over, including the Central Valley, Los Angeles and Orange County, even Las Vegas and Arizona. Those people tend to stay for the entire event and camp or stay in hotels. Although some regional locals do all three days, they are more likely to buy single day tickets. And it’s important to remember that there are discounted children’s tickets and group rates. If you had a personal message to give to readers what would it be? I would encourage people to look at SWC with two sets of eyes. One is the celebration of faith, having a blast with family and friends and seeing your favorite artists’ point of view. The second view is to come with an open heart, expecting God to do great things in your life point of view. In fact, I even encourage people to bring their unchurched friends so God can move in their life. More than anything else, the artists, speakers and everyone involved with Spirit West Coast want the 2012 festival to be the time and place where God changed lives forever.
Phillips, Craig & Dean in Temecula for concert By RICK MONROE If you enjoy worship music, you know many of the songs sung by Phillips, Craig & Dean, a unique group of three senior pastors who have sung together for the past 17 years. They’ve recorded many all-time favorites, including: “How Deep The Father’s Love,” “Let My Words Be Few,” “The Wonderful Cross,” “Friend of God,” “The Heart Of Worship,” “Revelation Song,” “Here I am to Worship,” and “Open the Eyes of My Heart.” Members of the group have written “You Are God Alone” and “Only You.” They will be performing at 7:30 p.m. Friday, April 27, at Rancho Community Church in Temecula in a benefit concert for Rancho Damacitas Children’s Homes. Who are Phillips, Craig and Dean? • Shawn Craig, who finished his master of divinity degree in 2005, moved into a senior pastor role at the St. Louis church he’s served for more than 25 years, and is getting married in November. • Dan Dean, a senior pastor in Dallas, turns 50 this year, just celebrated the marriage of his eldest son, and is training for his first marathon. He and his wife Becky will
celebrate 30 years of marriage in August. • Randy Phillips and his wife, Denise, started a new church in 2005 in Austin, Texas. He is also host of his own TV show, The Awakening, on TBN. Their individual lives are steeped in local church ministry, but it’s the power of song that keeps them coming back to the studio and stage. Randy Phillips, Shawn Craig and Dan Dean are much more than performers with 10 albums and 18 No. 1 singles. To them, it’s all about ministry through music. These guys love to passionately sing about God. This will be a return visit for the group, Please turn to next page
Phillips, Craig & Dean’s new CD is Breathe In.
Phillips, Craig & Dean . . . Continued from previous page who sang at the organization’s benefit concert in 2007. “We had a wonderful experience during their last visit,” said Cliff Nunn, director of development for Rancho Damacitas. “They each have a servant’s heart. They were a joy to meet and to work with. They provided us with not only a top quality concert, but a fantastic night of worship. They are truly anointed and it is evident from the first song to the last they are all about Jesus.” Nunn is excited that the group is coming back. “Phillips, Craig and Dean don’t get out West too often, so we thought it was time to bring them our way again,” he said. “Also, they just released their new CD, Breathe In, with their newest hit, “When the Stars Burn Down.” We really couldn’t ask for better timing to feature them in a concert with this new CD getting so much air play on our local Christian radio stations.” Rancho Damacitas has been doing concerts since 2006, usually in or near April, since that’s “National Child Abuse Prevention Month.” “Our concerts usually serve as a concluding celebration for our annual fundraising and awareness campaign called Kids First,” Nunn said. “Other groups that we have enjoyed are Point of Grace, Barlow Girl, Selah, Sidewalk Prophets and Leeland, to name a few.” The concerts serve three purposes, Nunn explained. First, they are a fundraising event. Rancho Damacitas works to have the cost of the artist underwritten by sponsors
so proceeds from ticket sales go directly to benefit their youth. An offering also is received at the concerts and sometimes a silent auction is included. “Secondly, the concerts raise a great deal of awareness about our agency and the work that we do with abused youth,” Nunn said. “As you can imagine, for weeks and sometimes months after a concert our phone rings and our website receives a high volume of hits from folks wanting to find out how they or their church can partner with us. There is really no way to measure the benefit that this brings, but it is significant. “Finally, our concerts serve as a celebration, concluding event if you will, for our Kids First Campaign. The concerts are a night where the community, our supporters, and guests can come together to celebrate youth and our Savior in worship.” At the beginning of the concert, a quick history of Rancho Damacitas is given and a three-minute video that really hits home the problems that child abuse creates for the abused, the family, and the community. The powerful video really strikes at the heart. Guests also can stop by an information table in the lobby to speak with staff, and get materials to share with their family and/or church about how to prevent child abuse. During its almost 30 years, Rancho Damacitas Children’s Homes have been blessed to touch the lives of thousands of children ranging in age from 6 to 18. For information, visit www.4kidsfirst. org. Concert tickets are available at (951) 302-7597.

book review
April 2012 — Good News, etc. — 7
‘16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention’ Book by James L. ‘Lee’ Lambert Reviewed by Rick Monroe If you appreciate history and attention to detail, you’ll love this book by North County resident James L. “Lee” Lambert. His 228-page book includes 10 pages of endnotes. The back cover includes commendations from Tim Wildmon, Chuck Smith, Pat Robertson and Shawn Mitchell. Some of the 16 Amazing Stories of Divine Intervention are about well-known Christians whose lives have been highly publicized — Ronald W. Reagan, Steve McQueen, Josh Hamilton, and George Washington. The author, however, provides great insight into the faith of these individuals. For example, I found it interesting that Reagan was reluctant to go to church while he was president because of his concern over putting church members and guests in harm’s way. Another fascinating tidbit is the account of Billy Graham giving his personal Bible to Steve McQueen. I loved the chapters about well-known people who I didn’t realize were Christians. As a baseball fan, I appreciated reading the story of Mickey Mantle, who was reluctant to be a follower of Christ until his later years. Lambert chronicles the love and follow-up by former teammate Bobby Richardson and football legend/broadcaster Pat Summerall, which led Mantle to Christ, and the Yankee great overcoming his long-time, highly-publicized addiction to alcohol. Celebrities overcoming addictions is one of the common themes in the book, including the testimonies of Oden Fong, Brian Welch and Bryan Maclean. There are also chapters about “formers” — former gang leader Ruben “lefty” De La Torre, former gay activist Michael Glatze, former Mormon Patricia Louise White, and a former Playboy Bunny, Brenda
MacKillop. Then, mix in the tale of atheist Madalyn Murray O’Hare’s son (William J. Murray), singer and pro-life advocate Annie Meadows, and another football player (Darren Carrington), and you have more examples of lives changed by the power of Jesus Christ. All 16 individuals lived in our lifetime, with the exceptions of George Washington and Lazarus, topic of the final chapter, “The Rich Man and Lazarus: A Trip to Hell.” “The true story of the rich man tells us that eternity is real,” Lambert writes. “When we physically die, we will journey to the spiritual realm. At the end of our last breath, we will be in the presence of God. It is at this time that our eternity is revealed and we will either be forever with God or we will be forever separated from Him. Jesus makes it clear that we have to make a choice but that choice must be made while we are alive.” In a concluding short chapter, “A Final Word,” Lambert gives an excellent summary of the book’s purpose and offers a compelling invitation to non-believers to make the choice of life: “As the real people in this book discovered, it is not enough to know these simple Bible truths. It is important for each one of us to act on them and actively follow the Christ of the Bible and allow Him to be a big part of our lives. I encourage each one of you, in your search for meaning, purpose, and truth, to do this. It will be a decision that will forever change your life for the better.” Amen. o James L. “Lee” Lambert writes commentary for www.RenewAmerica.com and www. OneNewsNow.com. He is also host for a local weekly cable TV show, Night Lights. To order, visit www.16AmazingStories.com.

Good Friday services . . . Continued from page 1 will be burned in private helps people release their concerns, explained Capt. AnnMarguerite Jones. But first she and co-pastor husband Maj. Gwyn Jones pray over each request. Some congregants sign their names for accountability with their pastors. Once, someone revealed a need necessary for the Joneses to address. Albeit painful, it was resolved within the year. Although more petitioners remain anonymous, about 75 percent of members participate. To draw in outsiders, about 50 adults and children, brass band playing, walk through the neighborhood on Palm Sunday. They give neighbors treats and flyers inviting them to Holy Week events. It’s a great way to get people out of their homes, said bandmaster and worship leader Richey Opina. Between noon and 6 p.m. on Good Friday, participants, including children, write their prayer requests or confessions on slips of paper and nail them to a wooden
Phillips, Craig & Dean
cross on the floor. “We wanted to visibly show these shouldn’t be a concern to us because they are nailed to the cross,” said AnnMarguerite, adding that most requests are intercessory on behalf of others. “People look forward to it because it’s a hands-on and tactile thing. People really do appreciate the opportunity to do that.” Opina remembers it as a great time to reflect on the past year and give all those burdens to Jesus. “Because nobody else sees what you write down, you have a chance to really express yourself to God,” he said. “And because it’s Good Friday, you have to chance to really open up and express how you feel.” “It drives the point home of the sacrifice Christ made for me on the Cross,” agreed worship leader Dave Patton. “It’s a tangible thing for me in preparation for Easter, the one thing that makes me step back and think about that sacrifice. A couple of people I’ve seen prostrate themselves in the emotion of it.” “It’s a really solemn time,” AnnMarguerite said. “Easter is like New Year’s for Christian people, to kind of start over.” If you want to attend any of the area Easter week events, see the listing in The Calendar!

acts of kindness
50 YEARS! — Fr. Richard Bowman, 75, celebrated his 50th anniversary as being a priest on March 27. He was ordained in Los Angeles in the Episcopal order at St. Paul’s Cathedral, which has since been razed. He was priest at St. Elizabeth Church in San Diego for 10 years before moving to North County in 1977 to assist at St. Anne’s Episcopal Church. Then in 2008, he helped form Grace Anglican Church, where he continues to serve as an assisting priest. He’s also a long-time chaplain at Tri-City Hospital. Bowman married his wife Gail in 1984.
Annual bike blessing slated Bikers for Christ International will celebrate a decade of bike blessings on Sunday, April 15. Motorcycles from San Diego, Orange County and beyond will ride into Kennedy’s Custom Cycles, 3028 San Luis Rey Road, Oceanside, to participate. The event will start at noon and is billed as a family friendly function featuring custom bikes, raffles, vendors and music. For a catered lunch and two raffle tickets, there is a registration fee of $10 for adults and $5 for children under 12. The blessing of the bikes, rally and music is free. This year, money raised will benefit Aiden Montez, a 6-month-old boy suffering with liver cancer, and the Downed Bikers Fund. Bikers for Christ International’s website is www.BikersforChrist.org.
Daisy’s Cajun Kitchen in San Marcos is family owned and operated by LJ and Tonya Marks, specializing in Creole and Cajun recipes. Daisy was Chef LJ Mark’s great-grandmother and he uses her recipes with a twist. Their Act of Kindness is to serve a special dinner on the first Monday of the month to 15 families chosen by their church, The Movement. The restaurant is normally closed on Mondays. LJ said he hoped the event would help carry on Daisy Mark’s legacy to the community to reach out and bring families together “The unity of helping one another is special,” said LJ, after the first dinner on March 5. “We had 30 people come, which represented 14 families.” o This is a new feature designed to recognize ways local Christians are showing God’s love. If you know of a business or family that is doing something special for others, let us know! The goal is for others to “borrow” some of these ideas.

Her husband is a Marine deployed in Africa. From the left of the Marks are sons Matthew, Andrew David, Michael, mom Laurie, son Christopher, and daughter Bella.
Former gang member returns . . . Continued from page 1 in San Diego. Barron calls Jenson, now 85, his spiritual father. “Every Wednesday night for 40 years, he had a Bible study in his home,” Barron said. “He’s having some health issues now, but he’s really been a hero to me.” “I was saved at Teen Challenge,” Barron shared. “In the safety of being discipled in God’s Word, my faith increased. I knew I was born again because I knew it inside, and His Word confirmed it. He’s my Father.” Fast forward Barron’s story to December 2009, when he returned to his old Eastside neighborhood and began sharing God’s Word and a piece of fruit in his old stomping grounds. He would stand on the street corner — at San Diego and Bush streets, just blocks from where he grew up — handing out fruit and telling people that Jesus loves them. That progressed to bigger outreaches after he teamed with Rev. Michael Henderson of Shiloh Church of God in Christ.

“He just came by the church one day and knocked on the door to share his vision of being called to the community to reach souls with the love of Jesus through food give-aways,” Henderson said. “Then he came back and started attending the church. One thing led to another and we just connected. We’re here to help him serve the community,” the AfricanAmerican pastor said. “I stood out like a sore thumb,” Barron noted. “I think I was the only Hispanic in the church.” However, he felt very welcomed. “God knows no colors,” Henderson said. “God is colorblind.” A new ministry was launched, Awakening Ministries Outreach, and every several months a circus tent is pitched in an Oceanside park for a community outreach. Teen Challenge and other local churches and ministries are involved in creating a Day of Celebration in the park. “Our desire is to provide a cooked meal, non-perishable food items, clothing, free medical screening, community resource information, etc. to a minimum of 1,000 community residents on that day,” Barron said. “We are excited about the opportunity to support and encourage many underprivileged families in this area.” The next outreach is at Libby Lake Park in the “back gate” area of Oceanside — close to where he lives — on Saturday, May 26, 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. That’s on the Memorial Day weekend, so Barron said the outreach should be well-attended. The first outreach was at Baldarama Park in the Eastside area. Others have been held at Libby Lake, Crown Heights and John Landis parks. Henderson usually gives a gospel message, and local Christian singers, entertainers, and bands are
featured — along with plenty of free food and prizes for everyone. “We usually give about seven tons of food,” Barron said. “We get the food from
the San Diego Food Bank at a good price, but we always want to give more. We’d love for more supporters to join us.” Barron said they need to raise $5,000 or more to support each event. In addition to the park events, Barron has joined Shiloh in its Tuesday outreaches through Child Evangelism Fellowship at Laurel Elementary School in Eastside. He also helps with Royal Rangers on Thursday evenings at the church and an afternoon outreach on Thursday afternoons at Baldarama Park. That outreach is with Gangland Ministries and Calvary Chapel Oceanside, which brings pizza to the park. “The key is being consistent,” said Barron, who in the 34 years after being saved at Teen Challenge became a successful automotive service manager and retail store manager. “I’ve been around the world twice, I’m friends with LaDainian Tomlinson and Tony Gwynn, but my greatest success in life has been in serving, whether its on the job or helping in the community,” he shared. He’s helped with various charitable organizations such as Wounded Warriors and Head Start, but he said his greatest joy is in giving the food — physical and spiritual — to the needy people in Oceanside. “There’s no question that God has had a calling on my life,” he said. “There’s no other reason why I’m alive. My heroin addiction should have killed me and in 1997 I was diagnosed with Hepatitis C. “I was told I would die if I didn’t have a liver transplant. At night I normally turned my phone off, but one night, three weeks after the diagnosis, I was awakened by a phone call telling me there was a new liver for me.” Barron was emotional as he told the story. That’s his story. And it is emotional. For information about the ministries, visit www.aministriesoutreach.org.

Local film goes viral on Internet
K
ony 2012, a film produced by Invisible Children, blew through the social media like the Santa Ana winds. Since only March 5, this story about demonic African madman Joseph Kony and his practice of abducting children to serve as soldiers has attracted 100 million hits. Nina Shea writes, “I first learned of the video last night from my 18-year-old high schooler, whose viewing tastes range from college basketball to NBA games. He noticed everybody had put it on Facebook.” One man mentioned that he heard of it from a subway conductor, who was willing to break the rules about how the P.A. system could be used. The variety of supporters and attackers of the film and its proponents has been fascinating. It is attacked from the globalsavvy for being naïve because there are half a dozen worse leaders in Africa. It is attacked from the right by being a simple way for liberal do-gooders to feel they are doing important good work by posting a link on Facebook, while making no real sacrifice and probably raising our taxes. It is attacked by the left because some of the supporters of Invisible Children, such as the National Christian Foundation, are also supporters of Focus on the Family and other groups they consider to be homophobic “hate groups.” So we’ve moved from attacks on the film and the organization to attacks on their supporters. Not to be left out, more than one Christian blogger has suggested that the attackers have their own motivation, which is to discredit believers because Kony has perversely named his organization the Lord’s Resistance Army. The film wouldn’t have attracted the attention of the media if the leader had been Muslim, say they. Let’s look at the phenomenon through a different lens. As those involved in Christian missions, we may have just witnessed a Stanley meets Livingstone kind of mo-

BILL SMITH ment. 100 million hits. Children telling their parents about it. Stories on MSNBC and NPR about the film. And then, as if that were not enough, one of the founders finds himself taken into custody in San Diego for a wardrobe malfunction in public, which keeps the story alive. In wonderment, we ask: “What just happened? Was this a ‘God thing?’ Were these filmmakers especially gifted artists or were they brilliant marketers?” “Was it the video itself? Do we need to relearn the power of pictures and stories?” “Could this happen again? Could 100 million people’s attention be focused on malaria, or free wheelchairs, or ending the persecution of believers?” “Why are so many people interested in commenting and second-guessing the work, yet so few interested in taking action?” “We strive to get a few people to someone’s home to present the case for our mission. What are we missing in this social media phenomenon?” “How did it happen that secular media got involved, that young people told their friends, that people with normally no interest in missions jumped in?” “Amid all the controversy, what is the seed of good in this phenomenon?” “What does God want us to understand, then apply, from the windstorm that is Kony 2012?” o Bill Smith attends Emmanuel Faith Community Church in Escondido. Excerpt from Mission Frontiers, January-February 2012.

Mexican Medical celebrating 50th year Mexican Medical Ministries is celebrating its 50th year of seeking to bring healing and hope to the people of Mexico through helping meet their physical and spiritual needs. Pastor Steve Crews, president of the ministry, said it started in 1962 when founder Loran Long left San Diego, headed for the San Quentin Valley in Baja California to help plant some churches. It was not his original intent to build a hospital. He had changed his major from pre-med to theology. However, he soon discovered a great need to attend to the medical needs of the community. Loran and his wife Jean received donated supplies and began sharing medicine and health care from their kitchen table. Soon, Loran was using his airplane to bring patients to the states for urgent surgeries. Doctors encouraged him to create an emergency room at his aircraft hangar and volunteers began to fly their aircraft down to Mexico to assist him in the work. From these humble beginnings a hospital was built and Mexican Medical was incorpo-
rated in 1967 as an evangelical mission. The original vision to find the lost for Christ never abated. The slogan “Bring Healing and Hope to Mexico” became the ministry’s anthem. Today, Mexican Medical operates a nonprofit charity directing volunteer health care teams from both sides of the border in performing health fairs. Medical consultations, health screenings, dental work and chiropractic care are given at one-day to one-week events. Each event is sponsored by a local church, so that as physical needs are met, the spiritual part of the person can be cared for, too. The ministry continues to support hospitals built by Mexican Medical over the years, donating supplies, volunteer surgical teams and funds designated for individual patients. The hospitals now are run by national doctors and in each locale the doctors are strong believers in Christ. For information about Mexican Medical Ministries, including ways to volunteer, visit www.mexicanmedical.com or call the office in Lemon Grove at (619) 463-4770.
very nice chapel.” Gonzalez has the complete chapel complex plan but was on vacation and unavailable for comment. Webb said the hospital’s priority is to provide very well equipped chaplaincy office space for Gonzalez, Webb, volunteer chaplains, and administrative assistants, as well as an area for meeting with families. “But with this bigger space we ran out of money to complete it,” Webb said. “We are excited over what is going to happen. We just may not be finished when we open the door, but shortly thereafter we’re going to have it completed.” Webb said the delay and resultant participation from the community is a blessing in disguise. “Everybody is getting to have a share in its being completed and genuine pride in looking at what we’ve accomplished.” Sanchez stressed that the chapel will be nondenominational and provide sanctuary for anyone. “Anybody who’s had anybody in the hospital wants a place,” he said.
“We wish it would open at the same time as the hospital.” The hospital is undergoing state health department inspections in April for certification from the Office of Statewide Health Planning and Development. Once certified, the hospital will receive a temporary occupancy permit to start stocking supplies and equipment, and training employees. To donate go to www.pphfoundation. org/donate. On the pull-down menu next to the word “Designation” and select “Chapel Fund.” Or mail donations clearly noted to the Chapel Fund to Palomar Health District Foundation, 960 Canterbury Place, Suite 200, Escondido, CA 92025. Donations not designated for the chapel will go to the general fund. Donations are tax-deductible and any excess will be allocated to improving chapels in the old downtown Escondido hospital and Pomerado Hospital in Poway. A registered nurse with the district who asked to remain anonymous requested prayer that the funds are raised by June.
Palomar Hospital chapel . . . Continued from page 1 employees became involved through the district’s charitable arm, Palomar Health Foundation, to set up the Palomar Hospital Chapel Campaign. Covert, as interim foundation president, led the administration follow up to help ensure the chapel gets finished. Executive and board assistant for the Palomar Health Foundation Sonia Lopez is the Chapel Campaign Committee chairman. “Employees have gotten behind the campaign and were early supporters directing donations specifically for the construction of the chapel even before we launched the chapel campaign in February,” Sanchez said. “We are all moved by the generosity of our donors.” Palomar Chaplain Thomas Webb described the chapel as a haven for people to retreat for spiritual solace and prayer. People often walk into the chapel and adjacent chaplain’s office at the old downtown hospital, asking to talk and pray. “They come in to regroup, think and pray through
what family and loved ones are going through on the floors above,” he said. “Employees, staff and administration feel it’s an important place not only for patients but for all of us,” Sanchez said. “We hope to do it this year. It’s a priority, it’s very important to us. We realize healing takes place on many levels including spiritual.” The only religious service held in the hospital is the weekly spirituality group in the behavioral health unit, which will remain at the downtown Escondido hospital, along with women’s and children’s services, the birthing center, rehabilitation services, and an urgent care clinic. The Emergency Room and trauma rooms will be relocated. Webb said the fund-raising project is grassroots, initiated by Director of Pastoral Care Richard Gonzalez and endorsed and led by CEO Covert. “A lot of staff members are donating personal time off to the project and we’re very excited about it,” Webb said. “So we’re looking forward to

“And my God will meet all your needs according to His glorious riches in Christ Jesus.”
Servant Leadership Institute to showcase world-renowned leaders as host of Leadercast By ROBIN SWIFT There is a crisis in leadership today. Harvard Business Review recently stated that self-serving leadership has eroded our confidence in institutions around the world. Recent news reports have revealed scandals at Penn State University, and insider stock information benefiting certain members of Congress. Trust in our leaders continues to be on a steady decline. It’s no surprise that business and church leaders are searching for a better way to lead. “If there ever is a time for servant leadership, the time is now,” said Mark Larson, San Diego talk radio host.
GUEST COMMENTARY The term servant leadership was first made popular in corporate America by AT&T executive Robert Greenleaf in 1968. Since that time, this method of leadership stewardship that maximizes profits, people, and the planet has transformed corporate cultures around the world, including Southwest Airlines, Chick-fil-A, TD Industries, Thrivent Financial, WD-40 and Datron World Communications Inc. in Vista. In an effort to raise awareness and educate people on better ways to lead, Servant Leadership Institute, a forwardthinking leadership resource center, will host the annual Chick-fil-A Leadercast at the Sheraton Carlsbad Resort and Spa in Carlsbad on May 4. Chick-fil-A Leadercast is a one-day leader development event broadcast live from Atlanta to hundreds of sites throughout the nation. Speakers for this year’s event include: • Soledad O’Brien, anchor and special correspondent for CNN. • Tim Tebow, NFL quarterback, Heisman Trophy winner and best-selling author. • Patrick Lencioni, best-selling author and president of The Table Group. • John Maxwell, leadership expert and best-selling author of The 21 Irrefutable Laws
of Leadership. • Angela Ahrendts, CEO of Burberry. • Roland Fryer, professor of economics at Harvard University and CEO of the Education Innovation Laboratory. • Urban Meyer, head football coach at Ohio State and former ESPN analyst. • Andy Stanley, best-selling leadership author and communicator. • Sheena Iyengar, author of The Art of Choosing and world-renowned expert on choice. This year’s program will focus on the power of choice. The diverse group of internationally-acclaimed authors, leadership experts and practitioners will share insights to help leaders empower and equip others at work, at home and in the community through his or her choices. “We are honored to host this influential leadership event a third year,” said Dr. Tony Baron, president of Servant Leadership Institute in Vista. “We are committed to spreading the message that anyone, regardless of position, can make the conscious choice to inspire, equip and encourage those they influence in order to make a positive difference in people, profitability and the planet. That is the core of Servant Leadership.” Last year, 85,000 leaders from 17 countries attended Chick-fil-A Leadercast. Anyone who is interested in making a positive difference in their organization, community or beyond is encouraged to attend. For local ticket information, visit ww.SanDiegoLeadercast.eventbrite.com or call (855) SLI-LEAD (-5323). o Robin Swift is director of client relations for Servant Leadership Institute, an organization that provides training, consulting, coaching, and keynote speaking on Servant Leadership development. The Servant Leadership Institute was founded by North County resident Art Barter as a division of Datron World Communications, Inc., where he serves as owner and CEO.

Will Gold Continue to Glitter?
I
n August 1999, the value of an ounce of gold fell to $251. That same ounce is now worth approximately $1,700. In an otherwise lackluster investment environment, gold has glistened. Sparked by low interest rates and those initial rumblings of economic unease — which largely manifested around 2008 — demand soared into the new millennium. Most newly-mined gold is used for jewelry and a much smaller percentage is used for industrial, medical and dental purposes. As an investment vehicle, it is often perceived as a “safe haven” in times of financial stress, including inflation or deflation. Investors own gold through coins, bullion bars, exchange-traded products, mutual funds or mining company stocks. While no country officially uses a gold standard today, many countries hold gold in reserve, and thus, gold is perceived as a form of currency. Given the proliferation of U.S. dollars and other world currencies for the purpose of stimulating the economy, investors have demanded the “currency” that can’t be printed as a store of value. The frenetic pursuit for gold might resemble the pursuit of technology stocks in the late 1990s and real estate in the 2000s. Time will tell if it has a similar crash. Tech stocks and real estate carried valid reasons to invest even in the midst of increasing values. The story read that technology was the future. Therefore, a stock price far outpacing the company’s earnings was unimportant. These stocks were pioneering a “new history” for stock performance. Yet, that chapter ended with a thud. Technology still is the future, but the methodology could not sustain outlandish stock prices forever. The real estate story highlighted the ability to borrow at low interest rates, the increasing demand for home ownership, and the touch and feel factor of property. All are valid reasons, but values plummeted. Now, gold is advertised relentlessly as the safe haven for approaching hyperinflation. Maybe. The reasoning certainly has merit. Gold prices could continue increasing. In the interest of disclosure and context, most of my clients own gold in their investment portfolios, in some fashion, primarily as protection in the event of economic turmoil. But, perspective, I believe, is needed in regard to gold. The “safe haven” concept is misrepresented often in media and sales. In
PRINCIPLES OF PROSPERITY ANTHONY SAFFER 1980, after a decade of inflation, recession, and choppy stock markets, gold prices sat at an all-time high of approximately $850 per ounce. Then, the bottom dropped out. People sold their gold, and by 1999, it hit nearly $250 per ounce – a 70% drop. (It did not return to that 1980 price until 28 years later!) Where safety is generally associated with stability, gold is anything but safe. It’s volatile. It rocks. It rolls. More than the stock market actually. But, it also acts differently much of the time, which is why it can make sense to hold some gold along with stocks and bonds and real estate. I can’t tell you that gold will perform well or not. I can suggest that hype should be met with caution. Certainly, given enough time, gold, like every investment vehicle, will disappoint. Don’t expect infinite increase and more importantly, temper your confidence to get out when things “start going bad.” A principled investor focuses on the laws of investing, such as: Diversification: “Divide your portion to seven, or even to eight, for you do not know what misfortune may occur on the earth.” (Ecclesiastes 11:2) A Steady Approach: “The plans of the diligent lead surely to advantage, but everyone who is hasty comes surely to poverty.” (Proverbs 21:5) A Focus on Goals: “Therefore be careful how you walk, not as unwise men but as wise, making the most of your time, because the days are evil. So then do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is.” (Ephesians 5:15-17) Keep perspective in working toward your goals, understanding that the line is thin between hype and opportunity … And that is just one more Principle of Prosperity! o Anthony Saffer, CFP of Coleman & Johnson Financial Advisors, Inc., coordinates principled financial solutions for families.

Hundley, team hope for improvement as 2012 campaign nears Finishing dead last in the NL West, the 2011 San Diego Padres didn’t give their fans much to cheer about last season. As low as they were team-wise, a number of Padres had breakout seasons. One of them was fifth-year catcher Nick Hundley. Hundley hit high water marks in runs with 34, hits with 81, home runs with 9 and triples with

5. He also raised his batting average to .288 and saw significant increases in his on-base and slugging percentages. Hundley’s improvement however, was not limited to his offensive production. Behind the plate, Hundley developed into a consistent solid catcher. He hopes to improve upon his 2011 performance and contribute to what he believes will be a dramatically improved Padres team. Just before heading off to spring training, Hundley participated in the annual Superfest organized jointly by The Rock Church and for the first time Point Loma Nazarene University. Hundley joined stars in many different sports united in a singular cause: spreading the Good News about Jesus Christ. Each athlete had an opportunity to share his testimony with the crowd. Here is what Hundley recalled about his difficulty adjusting to the Majors and how his faith helped him achieve his goals. “One of the biggest things (about breaking into the Majors) was initially struggling a little bit. I remember in 2007, I was in AA and I was hitting .180 in the middle of the year, which was horrendous. I really wondered if (a career in baseball) was for me. I sat down and prayed with my mom and dad and said, ‘Lord, if this is something you want me to do, I am going to give everything I have and go for it.’ “ Hundley put himself and his future
completely into God’s hands. “I stopped thinking about everything else,” Hundley said. “I focused on getting myself prepared on a daily basis to leave it out on the field. A year later, I was in the big leagues. The second that I gave every worry and doubt that I had about life and the game to the Lord, I played with a lot of peace and relaxation. Five years later, I am sitting (on this stage) next to you guys.” The key for Hundley has been to try to live in the moment with the knowledge that Christ has a path for him. “The biggest thing for me and my wife right now is just living in the moment and being in the Word on a consistent basis,” the catcher said. “We really don’t know what is going to happen next. I could be traded next week, or I could get injured and never play again. What I do know is that the Lord has an unbelievable path for my wife and me whether it is in baseball or without it. We are just living for the Lord on a daily basis. We are waking up and saying, ‘Thank you for this day. Let us use it to glorify you in whatever we do.’ “ Hundley was rewarded by the Padres on March 20 with a three-year extension to his contract that will pay him $9 million, with a $5 million option for 2015.
