Father of Chicago
2009-10-26 06:01:00 "The first white man to settle in Chicago was black." That was a popular witticism around town in the 1930s, and it says a lot about the attitudes of the time. Of course, the person referred to was Jean Baptiste Pointe DuSable. DuSable was the first non-indigenous resident of our area. We know that. But much of the historical record is fuzzy. Even his name has different versions, such as "au Sable" or "de Saible." Nor do we have any real idea of his physical appearance, except that he was a big man. He was born in Santa Domingo (Haiti) around 1745. His father was a French sailor--some sources say a pirate--and his mother an enslaved African. According to...

2009-10-12 04:30:00 Having spent most of my life as a devoted KISS fan, I've long dealt with people who don't quite understand the KISS Army's passion for this band. And that's okay, of course -- not everyone wants, enjoys, or loves the same things in life. But after spending many years in my youth with my family "tolerating" (if not understanding) my KISS problem, there came a time when I reached a point where I wanted to try to get my family to understand, at least somewhat, what I see and feel as a KISS fan. One of my longtime friends had taken his (elderly!) parents to a show during the Reunion tour so that they could experience the band live, which...

Uh Oh! First Lady's father is buried in Burr Oak

Egypt: Muslim Sets Fire to Christian Man, Murders His Father
2009-03-09 14:34:00 A Muslim man set fire to a Coptic young man, murdered his father and wounded his younger brother, after it was rumored that the young Copt allegedly had a relationship with the Muslim man's sister.The events took place in the small village of "Dmas" Meet-Ghamr, after a rumor spread around of a relationship between the 25-year-old Copt Shihata Sabri, and the sister of a Muslim man named Yasser Ahmed Qasim.Yasser went to Coptic Shehata, holding a gasoline canister, poured it over him and set him on fire, as bystanders looked on in horror. The young Copt threw himself into the adjacent canal to try to put out the flames from his burning body. The fire left burns all over his body, leading to his death.Following this incident, people in the village rallied and when the 60-years-old Sabri Shehata, father of the Coptic victim arrived, he was attacked by a group of Muslims stabbing him with knives and daggers; one stab penetrated his back to come out of his abdomen below the rib cage, res...
The Father Problem
2009-02-23 15:05:00 The River Church Many of us have a distorted view of God the Father. We may have received wrong teaching in our church upbringing, or our earthly dads may not have treated us well, causing us to have a Father problem. We may be able to relate to Jesus, but God the Father? That’s another story! Hebrews 1:3 gives us a better understanding: “[Jesus] is the brightness of his [God the Father's] glory, and the express image of his person ….” Some translations say Jesus is “the exact likeness of His [Father's] nature.” Jesus is the mirror reflection of God the Father’s complete love and goodness. So, if we have a loving relationship with Jesus, it is possible to have a loving relationship with God the Father as well. Many of us wince when we think about God as a Father, because we have not had good experiences within our families. “Father” brings pain to our emotions. Yet, God does not want us to deny or ignore His ...
