intersections: Songkran Hollywood 2008

Songkran Hollywood 2008

This past Sunday was the annual Songkran Festival celebrating the Thai New Year. Amazingly, it was the hottest day of the year by far, setting new records all over the Southland (96 F).

Pastor Somchai and the Thai Adventist Group had a booth focused on helping people with their health. While they did encounter many technical difficulties, they did a great service to the community on Sunday. Somchai is pictured above with the lanyard on, speaking to one of his members.

QUOTE

Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that. Hate multiplies hate, violence multiplies violence, and toughness multiplies toughness in a descending spiral of destruction.... The chain reaction of evil - hate begetting hate, wars producing more wars - must be broken, or we shall be plunged into the dark abyss of annihilation.
- Martin Luther King, Jr.
