Death of Buddy the Dog

I DON’T BELIEVE I can work today. I find myself angry with God again and pummeled by the riptides within me. Over the death of a dog. This happens when someone I love dies. Like my two younger brothers a couple years ago. And Juneau, the beautiful …

On the hunt for a better Jerusalem map

JERUSALEM. I’ve struggled for years to produce a fairly decent map of Jerusalem. What makes it tough is that we need higher resolution elevation data for tighter scenes like the one pictured here. But it’s not freely available for Israel. …

Lamentations to dogs in heaven

HEAVEN IN SIGHT. What’s the first question you would ask someone if you knew they were seeing heaven? Photo by Enrique/Pixabay When I hear Johnny Mathis sing “The Twelfth of Never,” I remember asking Linda to marry me. I asked while Johnny sang …

Great King from Bethlehem

BORN IN BETHLEHEM. When Jewish scholars 2,000 years ago wanted to find out where the coming Great King would be born, the Messiah, they turned to the prophet Micah. About 700 years before Jesus was born in Bethlehem, a little-known Bible prophet …

Does Christmas get sadder
as we get older?

THOSE WE’VE LOST. I took this photo of my brother a few years ago, at our uncle’s funeral. Then, two years ago, I buried this brother. Six months after that, my other brother. Is this why the older we get, the more we feel sad on those …

Christians picked December 25 before Roman pagans did

WE THOUGHT PAGANS BEAT JESUS TO CHRISTMAS. That’s what historians have taught us: Christians started celebrating Christmas because Romans were already throwing a party to the sun God Sol on December 25. It looks like historians got that wrong. …
