Christmas Angel THE SANCTUARY SPARKLES BRILLIANTLY. Twinkling purple lights peek from boughs of greenery. The tastefully festive adornment inspires a joyous atmosphere within the church. A single tall Advent candle flickers, casting a warm glow on the wooden creche next to it. The first Sunday of Advent means we have arrived at my favorite time of year. The Christmas season is upon us. At last. I’m giddy with expectation as I try to focus on the celebration of the Mass. For weeks now, I’ve looked forward to hearing festive carols fill the airways and watching sappy, romantic holiday movies. The youth group will hold its secret Santa party, and my family will take its annual outing to see The Nutcracker performed. Mom and I will soon spend hours baking and decorating dozens of scrumptious cookies. My mouth waters just thinking about the frosted treats. Ah, truly the most wonderful time of year. “I want to leave you with one final thought.” Father Brady’s baritone voice shatters my Sugar Plum Fairy reverie. I straighten in my pew. Had I missed everything he’d said? Come on, Meg, focus. His slow scan of the congregation fills the priest’s dramatic pause. His roaming gaze seems to stop when he focuses on mine.

  • Balaam and the End-Time Church (Part 2) by Richard T
    Balaam and the End-Time Church (Part 2) by Richard T. Ritenbaugh (http://www.cgg.org) Balaam And The End-Time Church (Part 2) Parallels With The Laodicean Richard T. Ritenbaugh Given 25-Jan-03; Sermon #594 In the last sermon, Balaam and The End-Time Church, Part 1, we began discussing the story of Balaam. It is a part of scripture that most people, I think, treat as a story—just another thing that happened to the children of Israel on their way to the Promised Land. Maybe if people look at it in terms of having a moral, they may think that Balaam was greedy and that we shouldn't be greedy. But, I hope last week I was able to convey (in some small way) that Balaam's story has important parallels with our own time, and our own experience. It should give us insight, knowing a bit more about the details of this story and the common worldly mindset, because I mentioned that the way Balaam approached God is the way most people seem to approach God. Balaam's story should also make us aware of some of the dangers that even we may face as chosen sons of God with His Holy Spirit. We still have some of these same tendencies. We have brought some of these things in from the world. And because the world is so always pressing at us, there could be a very good chance that we will pick them back up, even if we have thrown them off in the past! So it is a good reminder, and maybe we can get some good lessons out of it.

  • President Barack Obama's Proverbial Inaugural Address
    “We Must Pick Ourselves Up, Dust Ourselves Off” President Barack Obama’s Proverbial Inaugural Address Wolfgang MIEDER University of Vermont, Burlington, Vermont, USA [email protected] Recibido: 04-02-2009 Aceptado: 26-02-2009 Abstract: The pressures and expectations for Barack Obama to give a memorable inaugural address were enormous, and there was much conjecture about what he would include and how he would verbalize his thoughts. Many expected him to quote Lincoln, Roosevelt, or Kennedy, as he had done in numerous speeches before. But Obama, impressive rhetorician and orator that he is, refrained from using well- known quotations and instead created a number of his own formulaic statements in the form of pseudo- proverbs that might over time become proverbial, to wit “Greatness is never a given, it must be earned” or “People will judge you on what you can build, not what you can destroy.” In addition, he employed a considerable amount of folk speech in the form of proverbial phrases, with these emotive metaphors giving his speech a solid balance between intellectual rhetoric and traditional folk language. Uplifting as this epideictic address needed to be, Obama’s rhetoric was once again informed by practical wisdom and pragmatic judgment expressed at least in part by quotable and proverbial statements. The amazing aspect of this use of formulaic language is that Barack Obama does not merely adhere to traditional language but that he insists on its innovative use as he calls for socioeconomic change and a better life for all. Keywords: Paremiology. Proverb. Proverbial expression. Quotation. Pseudo-proverb.

  • A Conversation with Professor Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., Author, ‘Begin Again, James Baldwin’S America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own’
    A Conversation with Professor Eddie S. Glaude, Jr., Author, ‘Begin Again, James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own’ Join Michael Zeldin in his conversation with Professor Eddie Glaude, Jr., the James S. McDonnell Distinguished Professor of African American Studies at Princeton University and author of Begin Again, James Baldwin’s America and Its Urgent Lessons for Our Own. The writings of James Baldwin and Dr. Glaude’s elicitation of the important lessons they have to teach us about the aftertimes in which we find ourselves and the steps we need to take if we are to find a progressive path forward for our country couldn’t be timelier. It is a discussion of monumental importance in 21st century America. Guest Professor Eddie S. Glaude Jr. Eddie S. Glaude Jr. is an intellectual who speaks to the complex dynamics of the American experience. His most well- known books, Democracy in Black: How Race Still Enslaves the American Soul, and In a Shade of Blue: Pragmatism and the Politics of Black America, take a wide look at black communities, the difficulties of race in the United States, and the challenges our democracy face. He is an American critic in the tradition of James Baldwin and Ralph Waldo Emerson. In his writings, the country’s complexities, vulnerabilities, and the opportunities for hope come into full view. Hope that is, in one of his favorite quotes from W.E.B Du Bois, “not hopeless, but a bit unhopeful.” He is the James S. McDonnell Distinguished University Professor and chair of the Department of African American Studies, a program he first became involved with shaping as a doctoral candidate in Religion at Princeton.

  • Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young
    music Chris Nelson Speaking of Neil Young s a junior in high school I found myself humming along to Neil Young’s “Old Man” and “Heart of Gold” whenever the local classic Arock station decided to take a break from Aerosmith or Boston or AC/ DC. Senior year I’d take the scenic route home from football practice while blaring Harvest Moon in the used Mustang I shared with my older brother, driving past the cornfields just as the setting sun made them glow and feeling nostalgic for the innocence I had yet to lose. First semester of college I was getting high to his 1969 self-titled solo debut, and by spring I waited for rainy days to wallow in my loneliness with the haunting On the Beach, playing it over and over on an old turntable of my father’s that I had restored. In accordance with the natural progression of other Neil faithfuls, it wasn’t until I had exhausted this mostly acoustic, more accessible singer/songwriter side of Neil Young that I was able to graduate to an appreciation of his electric work—the highest and most challenging level a Neil faithful can reach. And it took me even longer to fall in love with it. Only recently have I begun to figure out why: his style of playing, with its wailings and repetitions and clutter and incoherence, is my style of speaking. Like his guitar, I stutter. The phonetic makeup of the word itself seems cruel, stutter, in that its intonation peaks at the difficult and forceful “t” sound—a voiceless alveolar stop produced by blocking airflow in the vocal tract—and therefore prevents sufferers from cleanly vocalizing what’s afflicting them, rather like the blatantly onomatopoeic lisp.
