Katherine's Blog

Hello to everyone and thank you for your prayers! It’s good news Friday, and my good news is that I am completely recovered from what happened to me yesterday on the air. If you were listening, you know that I had to end my show early because I was having trouble speaking. The problem began graduall...

Here is link to a clip of it:

(Start - 1:45 intro to show, doing fine)

(1:45 - 2:15 starting to struggle)

(2:15 onward is bad)

I went to the hospital and discovered I had suffered something called a transient ischemic attack, or TIA — otherwise known as a mini-stroke. These are medical mysteries, because in most cases no cause for them is ever found, and people go on to be fine afterwards.

This was the case for me. The hospital got me in right away and ran a battery of tests, including a brain CT and an EKG, and checked my blood pressure, sugar levels, and other vital signs. Everything was perfectly healthy.

I had planned to come back on the air today and explain all of this, but they scheduled me for an MRI of the brain at the same time as my show, to rule out other issues. Please enjoy this rebroadcast of one of my favorite shows, the one on censorship.

Lord willing, I will be back on Monday and we can unpack this together. Thanks again and God bless you all. Have a great weekend!

Love,

Katherine

I can't remember the last time I actually cried while reading an article, but when I reached the part in "This Is the Holocaust Story I Said I Wouldn’t Write" where the author began listing all the things she was sorry for, my heart began breaking and the tears flowed hard. The article is linked bel...

There was a span of about ten years, 2000-2010, where I read every book I could find about government-led massacres and cruelty. I amassed quite a collection of books on the horrors that took place during the Holocaust, in Cambodia, Rwanda, the Soviet Union, during the Iranian Revolution, in Communi...

I read those books because I was trying to figure something out, to understand what dark developments in society and in individual human hearts enable events like these to happen. I'm not sure I ever arrived at a single definitive answer for it all, but I did learn one thing. It was Lord Acton who s...

Power does more than just corrupt - it kills. And when governments have absolute power, they kill absolutely. RJ Rummell passed away in 2014, but his website is still lovingly maintained by someone, and his book is now in its fifth printing. If you want to understand the forces behind all those atro...

I had not thought about that era of my life for some time. Reading this excellent article brought it back.

This Is the Holocaust Story I Said I Wouldn’t Write

For years, my friend’s father asked me to recount his childhood escape from the Nazis. Why did it take me this long?

Excerpt:

I was born in 1975, into a world where the people affected by the Holocaust seemed very old to me and the war seemed a very long time ago. But now I’m almost 50, and I realize that I am just about as old as my grandparents were when I was born and that the period between my birth and the Holocaust i...

I'm so excited to have a blog! Many kudos to to Peter, our amazing technical expert, for putting this together! Now we have not only a live chat room during the show, but a blog where I can post what's on my mind any time day or night. This beautiful passage from Psalm 5:11-12 seems like a fitting w...

*"Let all who take refuge in you rejoice;

let them ever sing for joy,

and spread your protection over them,

that those who love your name may exult in you.

For you bless the righteous, O Lord;

you cover him with favor as with a shield."*
