International Holocaust Remembrance Day

January 27th is International Holocaust Remembrance Day. The UN chose this date because January 27th, 1945 is the anniversary of the liberation of Auschwitz-Birkenau concentration camp. Unfortunately, in the 69 years since, hatred against Christians and Jews has become fashionable again. In predominantly Christian countries Christians are now being branded intolerant, narrow-minded, radical, and dangerous, labels […]

Happy 2008!

What, you say? If Jesus was born in 6 B.C., then we’re in 2008 rather than 2014 (see Star of Wonder), right? Technicalities aside, let’s not only change the world, but change ourselves for the better in the new year. Lasting change has to start at the individual level.

Merry Christmas All!

From http://www.youtube.com/user/HyperPixelsMedia Enemy-occupied territory—that is what this world is. Christianity is the story of how the rightful king has landed, you might say landed in disguise, and is calling us all to take part in a great campaign of sabotage. When you go to church you are really listening-in to the secret wireless from our friends: […]

Happy St. Andrew’s Day!

To my Scottish brethren who are scattered all over the world– Happy St. Andrew’s Day! Alba gu bràth! St. Andrew is the patron saint of Scotland and every November 30th is St. Andrew’s Day.

Understanding the Middle East

Dr. Patrick Sookhdeo, the director of Barnabas Aid, has written a fantastic, easy to read article entitled Making Sense of the Tumultuous Events in the Middle East. While the American media loves to talk about the Middle East and offer opinions about events there, it rarely takes the time to explain the nuts and bolts […]

Viking Days 2013

While the Seattle area media might have been laser focused on the regional embarrassment that is Hempfest this weekend (Doritos, anyone?), there was a more noble event happening at the Nordic Heritage Museum in Ballard. People there were on a high simply due to getting together to celebrate their common past through food, historical reenactments, […]

No Respect for the Bard

Imagine listening to these two dialogues at the same time: 1. Blah blah blah blah blah, where can we get more wine, do you want to get some more wine, oh, girl, this is how they cut my hair, blah blah blah blah, I want to play drunken bingo, we should go to the burger […]

Gettysburg on My Mind

Meet William and William. These are two of my great-great-grandfathers, who both served in the Civil War. Their grandson and granddaughter would later meet and marry because of World War II.

The Kirkland Cannery

“Yeah, I could see that,” I thought to myself as I stood under the rich reddish rafters of the almost 80 year-old building. I could picture farm-fresh flowers and laughter lighting up the whitewashed main hall once again, sunbeams dancing through the Depression-era windows as footsteps clomped up and down the stairs. Inwardly I smiled. […]
