I have heard people say that the Bible has answers to our problems but what exactly does that mean? I don't see how it can say anything about my problems (which mainly have to do with money) since it was written so long ago, and anyway it couldn't cover every problem, could it? Mrs. B.C.F. A.

God gave the Bible to us, and one reason He gave it to us is be cause He wanted us to know how to live. As the Psalmist discovered many centuries ago, God's Word "is a lamp to my feet and a light for my path" (Psalm No, that does not mean the Bible exactly covers every conceivable situation we might face (although you would be surprised how many of the problems you experience were also faced by people whose lives are recorded in the Bible).

For example, you mention that some of your problems have to do with money and the Bible has much to say about money and how we should use it. One principle is that we should not be ruled by greed or consumed by a desire for things, but should trust God for our everyday needs.

"People who want to get rich fall into temptation and a trap and into many foolish and harmful desires that plunge men into ruin and destruction. For the love of money is a root of all kinds of evil" (1 Timothy How different would your life be if you had followed that truth? The Bible is as relevant today as it was when it was written, because God has not changed, and neither has our basic human nature. Ask Christ to come into your life as your personal Lord and Savior, and commit your life (and your problems) to Him.

Louis A. Cerre of Gross Point, and Mrs. John W. Appleford of Waynes 1Pds LOS ANGELES (AP) Attacked by a knife-wielding assailant in dark leather gloves, Ronald Goldman put up a furious fight, suffering cuts to his neck, fingers, palms and forearms before succumbing to four deep gashes. His friend, Nicole Brown Simpson, also tried to fight back, cutting her finger when she either tried to fend off the attacker or grab the knife.

She, too, died after suffering a slash to the neck that reached her spine. The murderer then fled down an alley behind Ms. Simpson's condo and into the darkness on that cool June night in Brentwood, leaving behind footprints in the blood of the victims. Those details emerged over six dramatic days of testimony in D.J. Simpson's preliminary hearing; which ended Friday.

Prosecutors and investigators finally sketched out what they believe the killer did late June 12, piecing together a puzzle of blood, stained gloves and crashes in the night. It's a theory that paints Simpson as a vicious, careless killer who committed his crimes out of the sight of witnesses, but who left behind enough physical evidence to possibly send him to San Quentin's gas chamber. The defense, in turn, spent the hearing trying to poke holes in the prosecution's scenario, contending reasonable doubts exist at every turn and insisting that Simpson is a man wrongly accused. In the end, Municipal Court Judge Kathleen Kennedy-Powell, who wasn't bound by a trial court's steep burden of proof, found "ample evidence" to suspect Simpson in the murders. That decision, which would have been bypassed had pretrial publicity not interfered with a grand jury considering an indictment, set the stage for a trial.

Two of the most notorious murders in U.S. history may have been announced by a dog's howl. About 15 minutes into watching the Channel 5 news at 10 p.m. that Sunday night, neighbor Pablo Fen-jves heard a dog's "plaintive wail" from the direction of Ms. Simpson's condo.

About a half-hour later, at 10:45 p.m., another neighbor, Steven Schwab, was walking his dog and encountered a large white Akita, its paws soaked in blood. Schwab tried to find the dog's owner, eventually turning it over to his neighbors, Bettina Rasmussen Catch the Rays of A Montego Bay Tan In Just 10 Minutes OIlCilB DllKlfiC Monday-Saturday 8:00 A.M,-6:00 P.M.

Both victims showed signs of defensive wounds, indicating they tried to fight off the attacker. A single-edged knife caused most of the wounds, a coroner says, possibly similar to the stiletto that Simpson allegedly bought in May but which hasn't been accounted for.

During the attack, Simpson made a crucial mistake, prosecutors allege losing his left glove and somehow cutting his left middle finger. As he walked away from the crime scene, he left drops of blood from the wound alongside his bloody footprints, prosecutors say. Blood tests showed the drops were of Simpson's somewhat rare blood type, and not of his ex-wife's or Goldman's. According to prosecutors, Simpson drives his Ford Bronco the two miles back home, leaving a red smudge of blood above the door handle. More blood stains were found inside the Bronco and on the steering wheel.

Simpson, prosecutors allege, got home after the limo driver arrived and tried to get rid of the right hand mate to the glove left at the crime scene near Goldman's feet. In the darkness, Simpson went down the unlighted, leaf-covered walkway on the side of his house, but he crashed into an air conditioner jutting out into the walkway, dropping the glove, prosecutors say. This, prosecutors allege, would account for three loud thumps that Kaelin heard at 10:40 p.m. The next day, Detective Mark Fuhrman found the glove near the air conditioner on the other side of Kaelin's wall. After dropping the glove, Simpson had to get back into the house to get ready for his flight, prosecutors say.

Park described a 6-foot, 200-pound black figure walking on the grounds toward the house. Somewhere along the way, Simpson ditched his bloody clothing and bloodstained shoes, say prosecutors, who strongly imply they may have been stuffed in a black knapsack that Park saw sitting next to the garage. About a minute after 11 p.m., Simpson emerged from his house and he and the limo driver packed his golf clubs, Gucci garment bag and Rose Street Interiors I Frame Shop gl5( Custom EE3 0 Discount on Framing 6 Antiques Large wallpaper selection Monday-Saturday 10-5 931 N.

At about 11:30 p.m., they took the dog for a walk and it led them to 875 South Bundy, the luxury home of a football hero's ex-wife.

On the front steps was a scene so horrible that Rasmussen had to look away. For the victims, the series of events started at 6:30 p.m. when Ms. Simpson and nine family members, including her children by O.J., Sydney, 8, and Justin, 5, ate at a trendy restaurant called Mezzaluna, just around the corner. They were celebrating Sydney's dance recital earlier that day.

Simpson, divorced from Ms. Simpson since 1992, attended the recital but not the dinner. Among the waiters on duty that night was the 25-year-old Ronald Goldman, an aspiring model and friend of the 35-year-old Ms. Simpson, who sometimes let Goldman drive the white Ferrari that Simpson had bought for her. Shortly after 8:30 p.m., Ms.

Simpson left the restaurant with her family. An hour later a woman called to see if anybody had found a lost pair of prescription sunglasses. Goldman took them to Ms. Simpson's town-house, leaving at 9:45 p.m. At about that time, a few miles away, O.J.

Simpson also had dinner. He and his house guest, an aspiring writer-actor named Brian "Kato" Kaelin, drove to McDonald's in Simpson's Rolls-Royce. The two went back to the estate at 360 Rockingham, arriving at about 9:45 p.m. Simpson ate his food while driving. Kaelin ate his dinner in his guest room.

About 10:25, limousine driver Allan Park drove up to Simpson's estate to take him to the airport for a previously scheduled trip to Chicago. Simpson couldn't be found. At 10:40 p.m., Park buzzed the intercom and saw upstairs lights on. Nobody answered. Prosecutors allege Simpson couldn't answer because he was busy trying to hide evidence from the killings of his ex-wife and Goldman.

They were messy murders. Ms. Simpson's neck was slashed to the spinal column, the knife going a quarter-inch into the vertebrae. The knife severed both her carotid arteries and one jugular vein and cut into the other jugular.
