My Favorite Color is Blue Sometimes

8 December 2017
By Roger Hutchison

When I think of you

I see yellow.

Yellow is the flickering flame of a candle.

Yellow is a sour lemon.

Yellow is a sunflower

standing tall and proud.

Yellow is a soft blanket,

comfort on a cold morning.

Yellow is holding hands.

Yellow is a shooting star in the night sky.

You blink and it is gone.

Yellow is a shooting star in the night sky. You blink and it is gone.

You are a shooting star.

Your light trails across the heavens.

I blinked

and you were gone.

My Favorite Color is Blue Sometimes is a beautiful exploration of color, using art to journey through the process of loss. Copyright Paraclete Press, used by permission.

Christian Nationalism: A Mission Field or an Enemy?

By Caleb Campbell

This is excerpted from Disarming Leviathan: Loving Your Christian Nationalist Neighbor, by Caleb Campbell.
For me one of the most painful revelations of 2020 was that many within the American church were not placing their ultimate hope in Jesus but were instead buying the false promises of Christian nationalism—a movement that calls Christian followers to take government power at all costs to advance their preferred way of being in the world.

Walls of Hostility

By David P. Leong

Throughout high school, I worked in our family photo lab in Vancouver Mall, and on breaks I would walk around to see other store displays nearby. In the early to mid-’90s, there was a particular trend in a lot of the poster and gift shops, which would display large, patterned images with a “hidden 3D picture” out in front of the store.
