The biblical festival called Pentecost in the New Testament is coming up soon, taking place on June 16 this year. The word Pentecost comes from the Greek word meaning fiftieth, since it is observed after counting 50 days, beginning with the day of the wave sheaf offering during the Days of Unleavened Bread (Leviticus 23:15–17). Pentecost describes …

Getting more flak than most of his fellow kickers would if they had missed a 20-yard field goal, Kansas City Chief’s Harrison Butker “kicked up” quite a controversy with his recent address at the Benedictine College 2024 commencement.

“The new normal” is an idiom expressing that a significant change has occurred and become commonplace. For example, in the last few decades, it has become commonplace for us to use personal computers and cell phones to now do much of our shopping online. That is a new normal.

Wrestling is a fascinating sport involving physical strength, skill, and tenacity as combatants strive to “pin” their opponents.

Every year, especially during the “flu season,” millions of people come down with a host of preventable diseases like colds, influenza, and various respiratory infections.

Who hasn’t seen a to-do list of some kind—on the wall, on their desk or refrigerator, or in a silly cartoon with characters hustling to get things done? Many have had their daily life or work dictated by a growing list of little checked boxes, in their heads if not on paper or a spreadsheet. And quite often, the “ta-done’s” never seem to catch up t…

“That was excruciating!” We hear this statement from individuals, or from ourselves at times, after suffering an injury like breaking a bone, hammering an ill-placed thumb rather than a nail, or stubbing a big toe on the bedpost while stumbling our way through a darkened bedroom.

Charles Dickens (1812–1870), the popular, prolific author of Britain’s Victorian Age, penned a poignant introduction to his famous novel A Tale of Two Cities, published in 1859.

Very early in life, we graduate from nursing and baby bottles to a “sippy cup,” and then to a regular cup—although I do see many adults with “sippy cups” of hot coffee. But cups, like many other things in the Bible, are used as metaphors or symbols. A cup may be used as a symbol of intoxication and deception. “Pouring out” a cup may symbolize God’s…
