Memorial Day Tribute: Of Good Days and Goodbyes in New London, 1967-68

Last updated on: May 29, 2016 at 10:43 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Every year I re-post this piece that I wrote in 2011. I do it as a tribute to the young servicemen that I met as a ten year old in New London, Connecticut, during the Vietnam War. I do it to honor the fallen and the lost, the ones who never found their way again when they came home, and the ones who endured the hostility and the alienation to live strong and good lives. And I do it especially in... Read more

Smashing Mirrors in the Caliphate, Part One

Last updated on: May 24, 2016 at 1:23 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

The Islamic State Can’t Stop Christ So They Destroy Those Who Reflect His Image They hate the Image reflected in the mirrors. But even they, with their knives and guns and bombs, and their crucifixions and abductions, and their rape and enslavement, and their marking of houses with threats, forcing thousands to flee, are powerless to stop Christ and His Kingdom. Their threat mark literally has multiplied across the face of the earth as Christians and others, including sympathetic Muslims, wear pins and t-shirts and... Read more

Wearing a White Carnation

Last updated on: May 14, 2023 at 5:33 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

FIRST PUBLISHED IN MAY 2013, REVIVED AGAIN FOR 2023 MOTHER’S DAY Mother’s Day, Niagara Falls, NY, with my mother and sister. Does anyone wear carnations on Mother’s Day anymore? A Mother’s Day tradition for many years was to wear a carnation in honor of your mother. Wearing a red carnation means that your mother is living. Wearing a white carnation means that your mother is dead. When I was little, I always felt sad when I saw people wearing white carnations... Read more

Pray for Gambela

Last updated on: April 27, 2016 at 7:40 am By Faith J. H. McDonnell

Every day, usually many times a day, I check with my friend Johann’s Facebook page to see what is happening in Gambela. Gambela is a city in western Ethiopia, near the South Sudan border. Because of the violent conflict that has been going on in that nation since the December 2013 coup attempt by former vice-president Riek Machar, (who, just today, has once again been restored into the bosom of the South Sudan government) close to 300,000 of mostly Nuer South Sudanese...

Bread Lines and Moscow Nights

Last updated on: April 4, 2016 at 10:47 pm By Faith J. H. McDonnell

This morning I saw the video footage that has recently been published by The Truth Division of Bernie Sanders extolling bread lines. Sanders, with more hair, talks about Nicaragua and how, “as poor as Nicaragua is,” one of the “nice” things that he saw was that as a result of “direct government policy in terms of the distribution of food, people are not hungry by-and-large.” (That “by-and-large” can cover a multitude of sins!) Sanders continues that whereas American journalists lament the poverty of countries... Read more
