Thatched Roofs and Prairie Blizzards
By Mark Roth on May 29, 2008 at 11:11 am
Dominga and Santiago live with their children in Belize, a country of steamy hot days, colorful parrots, and tall palms. Sometimes hurricane winds howl across their country, destroying buildings and flattening trees. Their home has board walls, a dirt floor, and a thatched roof. Dominga makes tortillas in a smoky cooking house and washes clothes on a rock beside a water pipe. Santiago raises crops year-round for food and works on the banana plantation. The children gather firewood, shell corn, and swim in the river.
Karen and James live with their children on the Canadian prairies where the growing season is short and winters are bitterly cold, with blinding blizzards and deep drifts. Their sturdy home has well-insulated walls. In spring, wild geese fly overhead and robins visit their yard. Karen fries fresh sausage links in her kitchen and hauls the children to school. James works in the grain field and feeds cattle. The children feed baby chicks, go sledding, and drive toy tractors.

God and Uncle Dale
By Mark Roth on May 27, 2008 at 11:45 am
It was 1960! From the perspective of the common man of the world, 1960 was the best of times — politically, socially, financially, and spiritually. From the Christian perspective, however, it was a time of catastrophe — so many people were losing their convictions and their faith. The world and the church were traveling away from God at a breathtaking pace. But the world was so fascinating that few worried about the Christian perspective.
Dale and Sheila symbolize dozens of youth in many different times and places who were caught in the vortex of spiritually declining churches. By God’s grace, some found their way, but many succumbed to the pressure. Live the difficult experiences with Dale and the others in the story to gain a new appreciation for the church and her leaders who stood for the truth and righteousness then, as well as for those who still stand today.
