Lent’s promise in bleak times

Filed Under: Commentary, Guest Commentary, Lent

Perhaps it’s a blessing, then, that the church gives us Lent in midwinter. It’s a season of soul-searching; the gray skies give us no other choice but to turn inward and examine the dark spaces we’d rather not explore.

Biblical wisdom for expectant, ‘older’ mothers

Elise Italiano Ureneck September 19, 2019

Filed Under: Bible, Commentary, Guest Commentary

There is a special kind of humiliation (and humor, if you’re a good sport), reserved for pregnant women who skew a little bit above the average age of moms in this country.

Send in the clowns

A good comedian helps an audience to recognize common absurdities, inconsistencies and hypocrisies in any given cultural moment. Their real genius is helping audiences to recognize the ones in which they also take part.
