Judge: Mt. Soledad Cross Must Come Down
by Tammy on December 13, 2013They can mask this in whatever rhetoric they want, but what we’re seeing here, and in so many other instances, is the effort of the left to wipe Christianity from the public sphere. And it breaks my heart to say it, but shame on the “Jewish War Veterans of the United States.” We know the ACLU is petty, but for “local residents” and a veterans group to engage in the absurdity of challenging a cross at a memorial is beyond the pale. Actually, this doesn’t sound like something a Jewish group would do. It is a community which, after all, knows the costs of attempts to erase a religion from view. I wouldn’t be surprised if this comes from one...

Pope Francis Is Time’s Person of the Year
by Tammy on December 11, 2013As most of you know, I believe in the Jesus but have a problem with organized religion. But this Pope Francis guy has made me take a serious look how the power and influence of the Catholic Church can do very good things. In other words, so far, I love this guy! Yes, he’s not an economist and he’s said a funny thing or two about capitalism, but I’ll leave the spiritual world to him and let’s leave the economic world to American conservatives 🙂 None of us like the mainstream media like Time, but this story and having Pope Francis on the cover will get more people to talk about a decent man who leads a religion that doesn’t...

The Story Behind The Iconic Menorah Photograph
by vitadMD on December 4, 2013**Promoted from the recent Comments. Posted by VitadMD** Dear, dear Shifra… Thank you for sharing this remarkable photograph – an image with a profound message and interesting story of defiance. Fortunately, the provenance of the photo is known and is deserving of proper attribution. For anyone interested… Via JSpace.com: Tracing the Roots of the Famous Holocaust Menorah In 1931, a woman snapped a photograph of her family’s menorah in a windowsill. It was the eighth night of Hanukkah and nine white candles stood along the candelabra, set off by the German courtyard seen through the glass of the window. Just in the distance, a Nazi flag hung. The image, freezing in time a notorious piece of the past, has grown...

Reflections on Chanukah 2013
by Shifra on December 2, 2013via @ExurbanKevin; and h/t to Tammy for retweeting the pic One morning a few weeks ago, while having our coffee and checking the morning headlines, my husband suddenly put down his newspaper. “He’s a tyrant. He’s dismantling the whole country. This is like a bad dream that keeps getting worse.” I nodded. We were having many such conversations lately. Last Wednesday, at sundown, the holiday of Chanukah began. An eight-day holiday commemorating a miracle that had taken place in 2nd century BCE Judea, which at that time had been ruled by the Seleucids (Syrian-Greeks) under Antiochus Epiphanes. When the Jews were forbidden to practice their religious way of life, a rebellion broke out, and after several years of battles, the...

Wow! Biblical-Era Town Discovered Along Sea of Galilee
by Tammy on September 17, 2013This is the town “described in the Gospel of Mark as the place Jesus sailed to after miraculously feeding 4,000 people by multiplying a few fish and loaves of bread…” Very exciting! Via Live Science. A town dating back more than 2,000 years has been discovered on the northwest coast of the Sea of Galilee, in Israel’s Ginosar valley. The ancient town may be Dalmanutha (also spelled Dalmanoutha), described in the Gospel of Mark as the place Jesus sailed to after miraculously feeding 4,000 people by multiplying a few fish and loaves of bread, said Ken Dark, of the University of Reading in the U.K., whose team discovered the town during a field survey. The archaeologists also determined that a...

Egypt: Christians Stand with Military After Muslim Bros Church Burning Spree
by Tammy on August 20, 2013Makes sense. Via Breitbart & Fox News. Over 60 churches across Egypt have been targeted by Muslim Brotherhood sympathizers as conflict rages across the country. Nonetheless, Coptic Christians are now returning to their church in Minya, which was burned by raging Islamists. “This will learn us to be better Christians” said Pastor Sameh Ibrahim. Fourteen churches in the area were burned in the past few days. In Minya, Christian churches have been slathered with black Xs to mark them for violence by Islamists. “We live in our church, so when someone attacks our congregation, it’s as if our house is being attacked,” said Pastor John Amin of the Meni Mazar church. “Our children are afraid.” This is part of a...

Pope Francis Shuns Grand Palace Apartment for Two Room Guesthouse
by Tammy on March 27, 2013Wow. I was wondering how he’d handle living in the palace. It looks like he’s decided to live in a guest house instead. Every day there’s something impressive about this guy. Via the BBC. Pope Francis has decided to shun a grand papal apartment on the top floor of the Vatican’s Apostolic Palace in favour of a modest two-room residence. His spokesman said he was “trying out this type of simple living” in a communal building with other priests. In doing so he has broken a tradition which is more than a century old. The decision reinforces the newly-elected Pope’s austere reputation. As archbishop of Buenos Aires he refused to move into the Bishop’s Palace. Preferring more modest accommodation, he...

Pope Benedict XVI Resigns
by Tammy on February 11, 2013The first to do so in 600 years. Via the Los Angeles Times. Pope Benedict XVI announced Monday that he will step down on Feb. 28 due to failing health, stunning the world’s 1 billion Catholics by becoming the first pope in nearly 600 years to resign from the office. The German pontiff, 85, made his surprise statement to cardinals during a Vatican concistory on Monday, saying “my strengths, due to an advanced age, are no longer suited to an adequate exercise of the Petrine ministry,” a reference to his duties as leader of the church. Speaking at a ceremony held to canonize three new saints, Benedict said he would step down at 8 p.m. on Feb. 28. Father Federico...
