News from 1943 Headlines Milwaukee Journal in part one…. 1. The Lord’s Supper 2. Easter Candy and Flowers 3. Doolittle Raid My son’s father-in-law and my friend lent me a newspaper dated April 22nd 1943. He knew of my interest in history and thought I’d like to see it. What is more, it’s a newspaper [ READ MORE ]
Reblogged from Missional Meanderings: I wrote one post on this already, then deleted it. It was just me irritated and venting the irritation. Why so irritated? This site is where it all started for me. It is actually an interesting read, I made it several pages deep myself. But what stood out was how so [ READ MORE ]
I’m about to be politically incorrect. It won’t be the first time, nor will it be the last I’m sure. But before I go politically incorrect here is the obligatory disclaimer, although I think it’s a good one. My mother-in-law who passed away in 2006 was an Army veteran of WW2. She was a WAC [ READ MORE ]
This is another story that will not find its way to the mainstream “sock puppet” media. It’s about the plight of Iraqi Christians. It’s titled Wins and Losses in World Magazine. The story revolves around an Anglican minister who left England to minister to the only surviving Anglican Church in Iraq. Some like to point out [ READ MORE ]

I’ve been slowly going through Robert Spencer’s The Politically Incorrect Guide to Islam and the Crusades. One interesting feature is how Spencer will [ READ MORE ]
“There is no neutral ground in the universe; every square inch, every split second, is claimed by God and counter-claimed by Satan” So wrote C.S.Lewis, a person of no small intellect. Lewis was simply stating what is an orthodox Christian belief among self-identified Christian conservatives; among self-indentified Christian liberals, not so much. It is interesting [ READ MORE ]
I just finished Laura Hildebrand’s Unbroken, a World War II story of survival, resilience, and redemption. Unbroken is the story of Louis Zamperini, an Olympic class runner who served in World War II as a bombardier on a B-24. I found this book hard to put down. Usually I have three or four books going at the same time as [ READ MORE ]
I always find it interesting when politicians of either stripe use the Bible for their own purposes. The application of the passage they are quoting or referencing is almost always wrong or a far-fetched application bearing little relationship to what is actually being said. President Obama is a liberal progressive to use their own terms. [ READ MORE ]
