It is estimated that 10 million people will die of star- vation or malnutrition-related diseases this year. Half of those will be children under the age of five. Msgr. Robert Coll, chairman of Operation Rice Bowl (explained elsewhere in today's Voice) said he saw a child starve to death not too long ago. "His body lived off itself. First his body ate the muscles of his stomach so that he became swollen. He could not hold his head up. He did not cry because it takes energy to cry and he had no energy. His eyes did not move because he did not see. He did not see because his brain had been destroyed. It had not been nourished with protein." You can save the lives of some of these children.

The anguish of Job and pragmatic pessimism of Ecclesiastes (Qo 7:15ff) do little to resolve the dilemma caused by the teaching that God rewards the just man and punishes the unjust in this life.

Reading the Bible at home on occasion is another means. Memorizing Bible texts seems to me to be a very useful way of making the Bible your own and relating it to daily ex- perience. But we will not do so in our usually hectic and scat- tered lives unless we find a simple, meaningful way of working at it. Here is what one family I know does. Each week they will find a Bible quotation that they like, one that says something to them. For example, a recent text they found meaningful is from Psalm 31, verse 15: "My trust is in you, O Lord; I say, 'You are my God.'" Another favorite was from St. Paul's first letter to the Corinthians: "By God's favor, I am what I am" (1 Cor 15:10). Where did they ever find those quotes? From one of the children's religion textbooks. What did they do with the quotes? They had one of the older children copy the quotation onto a piece of paper.

For most brides it's the most important day in her life. And at The Exotic Gardens we've PJDpSSrents more tuxedos saved brides more than money. Once there was a bride who asked her friend to make her bridal bouquet. Her friend than anyone else in the world made her a beautiful one. Also a highly edible one. On the day of the wedding the dog lunched on it and the bride (near hysteria) ran into Exotic and asked for an instant (yet beautiful) bouquet. She got it. Then there was the marriage of the scuba divers, a couple who shared an aquatic passion. How to keep the bridal bouquet together under water was only a minor problem. We solved it with waterproof tape. And lest you think that Exotic is expensive, this wedding only cost $40. Over the years we've had Japanese weddings where the flowers had to look like they were growing out of rocks, yacht weddings where the yacht was bedecked with flowers that trailed into the water and even a Christmas wedding with bouquets of holly. One of our favorites was a double wedding where the minister married the wrong couples. But the flowers were right. With all the frenzy and excitement of a wedding, it's nice fo know that there's someone you can count on to keep his head. We've been saving marriages since 1914.
