"I would focus more on what the person meant to them, share memories with them, ask them for their own memories, steering the conversation away from where they are now, which we both know, is in the ground."

"The only thing I can add to what my wife said above is to say that you don't need to be praying for them to let them know that your heart goes out to them and you have been thinking about them.  Praying usually means having your mind and…"

"A couple summers ago this kind of happened to me.  My father in law died, then the mother of a childhood friend died, who was almost like a mother to me.  Then two more friend's parents died.  Just around Thanksgiving, a friend…"

June

Thus far, June has proven to be a bad month. There has been one death after another. My friends father died last week, a girl I went to school with committed suicide, another friends father died, and now my brother in laws mother died yesterday. Last year this time my best friend’s father died. I am in shock. The only thing I don’t share in common with everyone else I have been into contact with about these deaths is that I don’t believe in a god or a heaven. I feel that I am not being a good…See More

Native American Culture

Posted on November 1, 2011 at 4:30am 8 Comments

All the people dressing up as Native Americans for Halloween

(poca-hotness) has me thinking about native beliefs and how Christianity has

affected our culture. I'm Alaskan Native (Tlingit, Haida) and our culture and

language has been suppressed for years. When the missionaries came the Natives

were told that their dances and totem poles were evil and because Natives

were dying of disease they started to believe them. Natives were not even

allowed to speak their…
