In the Sentinel 100, 75, 50 and 25 years ago. January 13, 1916: Alaska seems to be in the grip of one of the fiercest blizzards that has ever swept the coast. All last night and today the Stikine has howled her defiance and since daybreak the thermometer has steadily fallen. The government register at the Customs House at seven this morning was three degrees, at twelve noon it was five below and at six tonight it read ten below. Several other thermometers at different places in the city register differently but the majority are close to that...

The story of Christmas is a familiar one. Mary is visited by an angel, Jesus is born in a barn, a feeding trough used as a crib, wise men visiting, and shepherds proclaiming. This birth is celebrated around the world even after 2000 years have passed. Many at the time however, missed it. You can see why… born to a seemingly insignificant couple, no room for them in the inn, the family forced to become fugitives for the first few years of Jesus’ life, this event slipped past many. But scripture tells us this was No Ordinary Birth. What the world...

The word Christmas originally meant Christ’s Mass. That is, the mass that was celebrated in honor of Chris...

Another Christmas is here along with the lights, shoppers and all the other festive activities. A festive Christmas seems to create false expectations that are impossible fill. Somebody will get sick, another cannot come home or that one of a kind special gift is nowhere to be found. All this to satisfy what has become a meaningless ritual that is placed on our VISA card. The original purpose of Christmas is lost to Santa, Rudolph or some other fictitious tale. Please, don’t take me wrong, my family continues to enjoy each of these festive t...
