After a tumultuous 394-year history, the volatile racial tension caused by cultural misunderstandings (slavery), social stigma (slavery), and politics (slavery) is over.

Picking the Best Christian Music for Your Kids Isn’t Easy

Last updated on: April 9, 2013 at 9:42 am By Amy Lepine Peterson

Back before we had children, I imagined that I would be one of those cool parents, the kind whose kids listen only to indie music and request obscure hipster bands by name. And while it’s true that we sometimes have dance parties to Motown classics, and that my kids have at times sung along to Sufjan (“suf-ee-yan, follow your heart…”), I have to confess that I’m not the cool parent I dreamed of being. In fact, my son is so... Read more

Last updated on: April 9, 2013 at 7:18 am By Nick Olson

Having just returned from a Hawaiian holiday vacation with wife Megan, Don Draper is in the midst of what is his first boardroom meeting pitch of the new season of Mad Men. It’s for a Hawaiian resort advertisement, and his one-liner for the pitch reads, “Hawaii, the jumping-off point,” picturing a man’s left-behind clothes and other belongings on the beach sand.
