Liturgical Christians often relegate this story to Palm Sunday and Holy Week where it temporally belongs. How unnerving to have it pop up here like an unwelcome guest at a birthday party. But it never hurts to remind ourselves that Jesus suffers as we do and is...
I would wager that if you asked 100 people to tell you something they know about Paul, not one of them would say he was a healer. Agitator, preacher, orator, persecutor, letter-writer—sure…but a healer? We can never know the completeness of another pers….(View...
Even the great King Solomon had days when he was just managing administrative details. Maybe he kept office hours during which his subjects could bring their arguments and complaints. On this day, two women have brought a tricky problem to the king. It’s a case of she...
