Minority Births Tipped to outnumber White Births in U.S.

The number of children born to minorities in the U.S. is increasing by the number. According to an Associated Press (AP), minorities make up nearly half the children born in the U.S., part of a historic trend in which minorities are expected to become the U.S. majority over the next 40 years. Currently, whites make up two-thirds of the total U.S. population, and recent census estimates suggest the number of minorities may not overtake the number of whites until 2050.

The report highlights immigration to the U.S. as one factor that has boosted the number of Hispanic women in their prime childbearing years. Minorities made up 48 percent of U.S. children born in 2008, the latest census estimates available, compared to 37 percent in 1990. The numbers they say highlights the nation's growing racial and age divide, seen in pockets of communities across the U.S., which could heighten tensions in current policy debates from immigration reform and education to health care and Social Security.

Benny Hinn’s Wife Files for Divorce

I received the shocking news last night that Pastor Benny Hinn’s wife of over 30 years had filed for a divorce. Suzanne Hinn filed a petition for divorce in Orange County Superior Court on February 1, citing irreconcilable differences.

A statement from Benny Hinn Ministries revealed, "Pastor Benny Hinn and his immediate family were shocked and saddened to learn of this news on February 17 without any previous notice.”

According to the ministries all efforts by Pastor Hinn to bring healing to their relationship failed, leading to the divorce petition. The actual reason for the petition still remains unknown.

While assuring partners and friends of Benny Hinn’s dedication to God’s calling, the ministry also calls for prayers as they go through this trying period. "Both Pastor Hinn and the board of directors of the church ask for the prayers of ministry partners and friends as the Hinn family walk through this difficult season. Pastor Hinn also wants everyone to know that he remains firmly and unquestionably committed to God's calling—as he continues in his thirty-sixth year of ministry—to take the life-saving and miracle-working Gospel of Jesus Christ to the nations through crusades, broadcasts, and mission outreaches."
