This may be one of only a few opportunities I will have to cover a newsworthy event live and in person. I was invited to attend a luncheon presented by World Trade Center Alaska where Senator Lisa Murkowski was the featured speaker. (Thank you to my foreign affairs savvy son-in-law for [...]
It is a shocking reality that exploitation of children is on the rise. Several weeks ago my family and I stumbled across the NBC Dateline magazine special, To Catch A Predator III, covering a police sting of internet child predators. The police were overwhelmed with a wave of suspects who followed internet temptation [...]
Historians, social scientists, and academics are loathe to invoke the word miracle in regard to human events and the outstanding leaders of those events.

Revelation 12:7-9 reads: “And there was a war in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon; and [...]
SCHOOL WAS CANCELLED, THE PROVERBIAL SNOW DAY, but not because of snow, because of rain. Weeks of sub-zero temperatures were swept away by warming wind gusts which swept in Sunday afternoon and evening. And then came the rain. Rain on our abundant recently fallen snow turned the streets into ice rinks, the [...]
