Finding My Long Lost Identity.
Sorry for late reply, yes, my grandmother was raised Lutheran and, as the Danish law required, she received Religious Instruction from the Lutheran Church during her childhood. However, when she moved to England, back to her husband's hometown, there was no Scandinavian community and no... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
A good grasp of the English language certainly seems to be crucial for Denmark, even 50 or 60 years ago. One small instance when my father was courting my mother and they visited her Danish relatives in Viborg in the 1960s. He visited a tobacconist for some matches, he told me. He went through a... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
I leave the matter in God's hands. Once, when I was going through a period of darkness, I read through the Book of Job, in The Message, placing myself in the position of Job. God blessed me so much. Sadly, my mother does not know Jesus, but despite this, I am determined to live a fruitful life... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
I could get by in Denmark with just a basic understanding of Danish. I would not be expected to understand any more than a few Danish phrases. But the Vineyard churches in Scandinavia speak English at Vineyard Nordic events so I shouldn't wait to go to Denmark until I am an intermediate level... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
Your reply has provoked me into thinking about the Church in England. I live in a small town in inland Britain, far from Scandinavian communities of the East Coast or West Coast, and no one ever discussed minority ethnic identities. I never mentioned I was part Danish, but I wish someone in the... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
It's interesting what you say. I follow the TV series Long Lost Family US as I used to try and understand my own situation and that seemed to be the nearest thing. I lived with my half-Danish mother and English father until I was in my early 20s, but I never and still don't know my mother. Even... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
Good question, I really meant I am not the disciple I thought I was. Out of the blue, about one month ago, God revealed this to me. Until I have developed my Danish identity as much as my English identity, I cannot serve Jesus on mission and the place He wants me is in Denmark. It is through... -

Finding My Long Lost Identity.
At the age of 50, I still cannot speak the language of my grandmother and great-grandparents - Danish. My first language is English. I have toyed with the Danish language over the years but it never amounted to anything. My Danish grandmother, who also spoke fluent English, moved to the north... -

More Than An Idea, More Than A Sentiment
When I read this passage in the New Testament, I was filled once again with hope: In Galatians 5:25 it says, “We have chosen a life, the life of the spirit, let us make sure that we do not just hold it as an idea in our heads or a sentiment in our hearts, but work out its implications in every... -

At A Crossroads...
There are four different directions I could be taking at this stage - Vision, Mirage, Hallucination, Delusion. I am, indeed, at a crossroads, and only one direction takes me to my destination, which is a new identity in Christ based upon my dual Danish and English heritages. Vision is being... -

6DOF - the ultimate goal for gamers?
It seems that a mix of 6dof and 3dof is what is called for, where you can bring more focus to your game or where you can have a rest but still play actively. I had to stop playing Phantom: Covert Ops after about 30 minutes because I found it too overwhelming. Action took place in front and...- Truly1999

The Tablecloth
A photo on the website of the Old Town Museum at Aarhus reminded me of the significance of an item I had inherited from my grandmother upon her death in the mid-1990s, as given to me by mother. My grandmother did not have a list of items in her will as such to distribute to her family after her... -

Where Do I Start? Aarhus, Of Course
Den Gamle By - Den Gamle By When I first came across the website of the Old Town Museum in Aarhus, Denmark, it was like an answer to my prayers. It covers three periods that I was interested to know more about my family history. 1864 - covering the time leading up to my grandmother's aunt's... -

Hope For Danish Renewal
I feel that God is drawing me to Denmark at a time when Danes are in great need of developing a personal relationship with Jesus. It is my Danish inheritance through my grandmother which connects me to Denmark and the Danish people. I pray that Denmark will see a Christian Renewal and people... -

Danish Inheritance
When I was born in 1970, I inherited both an English and a Danish identity. I am 75% white English male and a 25% white Danish male. My mother's mother married a young English soldier in Viborg, Denmark, just after the Second World War and they moved back to his hometown in the north of England...- Truly1999

6DOF - the ultimate goal for gamers?
6DOF - a new term for me, although I've been playing video games since the days of the Atari 2600, back in the 1980s. I came across it recently in a review of a game for the VR headset, the Oculus Quest, and it was given particular mention as though it was some magic which hardcore gamers look...- Truly1999
