Where Are They Now? By Seth Halpern Editor
E
veryone loves BABIES. They’re always cute! That’s why baby and puppy videos usually win the grand prize on America’s Funniest Videos. Baby pictures are always fun to see and (for every parent with a pulse) to show. So, take a moment and play our game. Can you guess all the pictures without “peeking” at the answers. Number 1: This baby girl was originally named Destiny Hope at birth in 1992. She grew up with a famous country-singer dad who helped her to get cast on TV at an early age. As Disney’s pride and joy for a number of years, she starred as every young girl’s hero from 2006 to 2011. Miley Cyrus then moved on to music videos and has revealed herself (pun intended) to all as the “notso-innocent” girl of Disney fame. Number 2: This cute baby boy was born to multi-national parents but
soon was raised only by his mother. She encouraged him to pursue learning and be successful. After graduating Harvard Law School, he practiced law until being elected to State Senate. A few years later, Barack Obama became the first AfricanAmerican to be elected President of the United States.
Oct. Prayer Calendar p. 17 Number 4: This adorable baby boy began playing football as a defensive end and punter at the tender age of eight. In high school, this jock was all-state in football, basketball, and baseball. He turned down a major league baseball offer in order to concentrate on football. Last year, Turlock native Colin Kaepernick led the San Francisco 49’ers to the Super Bowl.
Number 5: Can you guess
number 5? Probably not. You see, number 5 is no celebrity but an “average” baby. Is (or was) your baby an “average” baby? To you, he or she was probably the most beautiful baby in the world!. No one would expect otherwise. No, baby number 5 was not born to anyone famous nor achieved the fame or success that these other babies have achieved. In fact, her only achievement, so far, is not even her achievement but more her mother’s achievement for choosing to keep her despite facing a difficult situation. It might have been easier to “get rid of the burden”, but she realized that this baby was a gift, not “a burden”. Baby number 5 is not only beloved in the eyes of her mother, but like all babies, she is loved by God. That’s because, like the other babies, she was created in the image of God. God is not “average” and He doesn’t create babies in His image to be “average”.
