It was a story about how the behaviors of other people can , =m have a pro- found impact upon us. Don had four sisters who died very young. “I'm over it now,” Don told the pastor, “but my mother never recov- Jeff Hensley Meditation ered.” After the children first died, several members of the com- munity were very helpful to the family. They brought food and helped Don’s father in the mill, but as time went on things began to change. Don’s mother began to hear gossip. Many in town had begun to think that Don’s mother had done some- thing terribly wrong for four daughters to have died so sud- denly and so young. Some said that she must have done some- thing so secret and so bad that only God could know, and they assumed that God was surely punishing her. “Ma never got over it,” Don said, “and then she stopped washing the clothes and cook- ing meals, saying that my other sisters had to learn anyway.” After a while, Don’s mother began getting up very late, walking around all day in her robe, and taking long naps dur- ing the afternoon. Before Don's sisters died, his mother had been very prim and proper and doted on any visitors, but after she began to hear what people were saying, it was as if she became a different person - like she believed what they were saying. “Then one day she started crying and screaming,” Don added. “She screamed so loud- ly that the neighbors came, but she wouldn't let them in. They said she was breaking things and carrying on. The sheriff knocked down the door and tied her hands behind her back, and took her away to a sanitar- ium 200 miles away.” Don was just coming home from school when they took her, and he heard the neighbors say that his mother’s behavior was proof that she had done something terrible and it was finally coming out. “Four months later,” Don said, “they sent us a death notice, but there was no reason given. I think she died of a broken heart.” I am writing these words just after having watched the exten- sive news reports of the horri- fying events that took place on the campus of Virginia Tech in Blacksburg. My heart aches at the terrible grief that so many families must be feeling right now, and my wife and I called our own college-age son just to make contact. Though we don’t want to accept it, the fact is that our actions - both in word and in deed - may have a profound affect on the lives of others. We may never know what entered the mind of Cho Seung-Hui when he planned such an atrocious act, and he may not have realized how much suffering he would cause, but his act confirms for all of us just how much harm we can do to one another if we choose. Dr. Jeff Hensley is pastor of Kings Mountain Baptist Church. His column appears weekly in the Kings Mountain Herald. On Mission Celebration April 21-25 An “On Mission Celebration” is coming to Southern Baptist Churches in Cleveland County during April 21 - 25, Over the years thousands of Southern Baptists have attended OMCs, which were once called "Schools of Missions" in the 1950s and 60s, and World Mission Conferences in the '70s through 1998. Today's OMCs are designed to inspire and mobilize participants to intentionally celebrate God's activity in the world, anticipate their role in OMC’s mission and participate by making a commit- ment to being on mission for God. There will be 29 churches in the Greater Cleveland County Baptist Association participating in this missions extravaganza. Rev. Charles Reed, Ministry Team Leader for GCCBA says, “This event has been two years in planning and praying to bring 31 missionaries from all over the world to speak on a rotating schedule in the 29 participating churches throughout the county. Missionaries will bring reports from their fields of service from Cary, NC, throughout North America, and international fields such as Pacific Rim and Asia! For more information about a church participating call (704) 482-3472 or go to the associa- tion's website at www.gccba.org. On Mission Celebrations give Southern Baptists a chance to see and hear the missionaries they support prayerfully and finan- cially in various worship servic- es, fellowship meals, and other speaking opportunities in the community during the OMC. Missionaries speaking in the GCCBA, Inc. OMC represent the North Carolina Baptist State Convention, North American Mission Board, International Mission Board, and Cooperative Baptist Fellowship.
