I flew toward a sunrise early the other morning on a small plane from Sitka to Kake. A deep red streak spread across the horizon, then softened and widened into a ball of light at the start of a new day. Without that rising sun, we would perpetually live in darkness, or not live at all. When Christ came 2000 years ago, He said “I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” (John 8:12-58) I see a symbolic relationship between the children’s animated cartoon, The Croods, and t...

Christmas is one of the biggest holidays of the year. When I moved to Alaska from Poland I realized how different the two cultures are but also how similar they are. It was a big shock for me. I think what I missed the most was the way and how long we celebrate Christmas in Poland. Advent is the beginning of Christmas time in Poland. It starts four Sundays before Christmas and ends with the feast of the Three Kings on January 6. It’s a time when people try to be at peace with each other and remember the real reason for Christmas (a time of f...
And it came to pass in those days, that there went out a decree from Caesar Augustus, that all the world should be taxed. And all went to be taxed, every one into his own city. And Joseph also went up from Galilee, out of the city of Nazareth, into Judea, unto the city of David, which is called Bethlehem to be taxed with Mary his espoused wife, being great with child. And so it was, that while they were there, the days were accomplished that she should be delivered. And she brought forth her firstborn son and wrapped him in swaddling cloths,...
