Eastern Washington lawmaker welcomes mistrial
An Eastern Washington lawmaker instrumental in uncovering whistleblower documents in the “Battle of Bunkerville” standoff in Nevada is hopeful the effort will bring improved land management practices to the Pacific Northwest, and the entire West. “It was quite a week last week,” state Rep. Matt Shea said Tuesday of a mistrial being declared and U.S. Attorney General Jeff Sessions’ pending involvement in the case. “It was fairly amazing.”

Why did Jesus come?
Thousands of sermons and talks up and down the land will have attempted to answer this question in the last week. Why did Jesus come, and what are we celebrating at Christmas? Justin Welby’s sermon in Canterbury on Christmas Day focussed on the theme of freedom or liberation. Just before Christmas, a tweet from Tim Keller (of Redeemer Presbyterian Church, New York) had a different (but possibly related) focus: "Jesus didn't come primarily to solve the economic, political, and social problems of the world. He came to forgive our sins."
