Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for February 11, 2025 is: ruminate • ROO-muh-nayt • verb To ruminate is to think carefully and deeply about something. // We ruminated over the implications of our decision. See the entry > Examples: “Most of the songs bear the name of a store you'd see in every mall in the United States before they became sad ghost towns, air conditioning and smooth jazz blasting in the emptied, echoing caverns of capitalism. ... The trio uses nostalgia as a tool of examination, ruminating on the not-too-distant past in order to process the funny and sometimes heartbreaking process of getting older together.” — Dash Lewis, Pitchfork, 8 July 2024 Did you know? When you ruminate, you chew something over, either literally or figuratively. Literal rumination may seem a little gross to humans, but to cows, chewing your cud (partially digested food brought up from the stomach for another chew) is just a natural part of life. Figurative ruminating is much more palatable to humans; that kind of deep, meditative thought is often deemed quite a worthy activity. The verb ruminate has described metaphorical chewing over since the early 1500s and actual chewing since later that same century. Our English word comes from and shares the meanings of the Latin verb ruminari (“to chew the cud” or “muse upon”), which in turn comes from rumen, the Latin name for the first stomach compartment of ruminant animals (that is, creatures like cows that chew their cud).

Send us a textArnie and Glenn begin this final episode on the Bible being literal or figurative by reviewing some of what they said in the last episode. They note that sometimes people make up their minds prematurely about what a passage says without considering the complete case. It is important to note if the writer identifies which figure of speech is being used. It is also important to see how other writers or speakers treat a particular Bible event. Finally, it is noted that Bible events should be considered literal unless being so forces them to be impossible or nonsense. A common saying that should help to properly understand what is written is noted. Arnie and Glenn talk about the need to use common sense in understanding all written or spoken communications in the Bible. Many of the things that we write or say include some kind of figurative language. It is also noted how important it is to have a genuine desire to know and obey God's word. We complete this episode by noting that both the Old and New Testament Scriptures include both literal and figurative language and we discuss some of the things they provide to us. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on what we are saying. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what is said. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Send us a textArnie is joined by Glenn Landrum to continue the discussion of the literal and figurative aspects of the Bible. This episode begins by noting some helpful hints on how to distinguish between literal and figurative expressions in the Bible. We shouldn't make up our minds prematurely on a particular subject without considering the context of it. The time that the Pharisees misrepresented Moses as commanding divorce is discussed at length. Sometimes Jesus or one of the writers tells us which figure of speech is being used, whether it is a parable or an allegory. That is discussed. We ought to note how the inspired writers or speakers treat an event recorded in the Bible. Jesus speaking about Moses at the burning bush and the Hebrew writer noting Noah and the flood is looked at. We discuss Jotham's fable to show some of the figurative language found in the Bible and how to understand it. A good guide to follow is what someone has been quoted as saying, which is, "The sense that makes the most sense is the correct sense." There is a little bit more that needs to be said about this subject, so we will complete it in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode for your convenience.

Send us a textIn this episode, Arnie and Fred continue their discussion of examples of other figures of speech. We begin by talking about similes. We note that similes are words or phrases that compare two things. We look at two examples that have the words like or as in them. Next is a discussion of similitudes. We explain what they are and look at two Bible examples where this figure of speech occurs. Hyperboles are looked at next. They are obvious and intentional exaggerations indicating excitement or used to make a point. Jesus used them as did the apostles. We discuss four examples. Personifications are used in both the Old and New Testaments. We note what they are and look at several passages where they appear. Finally, we begin to talk about how to distinguish figurative from literal language but will have to complete this in the next episode. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Send us a textIn this second episode, Arnie and Fred continue to discuss the literal and figurative aspects of the Bible. We begin here by noting that Jesus and the apostles understood that some of the historical and literal Bible accounts contained figurative language, since they supplied the words. We note the words that Abraham received Isaac from the dead, the passages that appears in, and why it is important to understand it properly. We discuss Parables, noting that they are realistic stories conveying a moral thought as contained in the parable of the Sower.  We look at Proverbs that are understood to be old sayings that communicate practical truths. We look at what Jesus said about the Physician in Luke 4. We continue by noting the allegory that Paul identified of the Bondwoman and Freewoman. We talk about that allegory and how Paul applied it. We close out this episode with a discussion of metaphors. We look at three that are found in the New Testament, two that Jesus used, and one Paul wrote about. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Send us a textIn this episode, Arnie and Fred begin a discussion of what some people think of the Bible. Some Bible student's regard everything the Scriptures say to be literally true, for instance trees talked and chose a king. Others think the entire Bible is figurative, that everything symbolizes something else, and no one can understand it except a special few. Neither view is correct. We begin by noting that Paul mentioned using a figure of speech in one of his letters to the Christians in Corinth. Arnie discusses what is recorded in Judges chapter 9 of what Jotham said there to illustrate some of the figurative language he used. We note that the Bible is verbally inspired. We discuss what this means, and how specific it is in what is recorded. Jesus discussed a number of events from the Old Testament and treated them as historically accurate and literal. We discuss the implications of what He had to say. We close out this episode by noting that Jesus and the apostles understood some historical and literal Bible accounts to contain figurative language. We look at one of those accounts. Take about 30-minutes to listen in on our discussion. Have your Bible handy so you can verify what we are saying. There is a transcript of this Buzzsprout episode provided for your convenience.

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for September 2, 2024 is: incandescent • in-kun-DESS-unt • adjective Incandescent has literal and figurative meanings. Its literal meanings relate to heat and light; it describes something that is white or glowing because of great heat, and also something (like a light bulb) that produces bright light when heated. In figurative use, incandescent relates to several kinds of brilliance. Something or someone described as incandescent can be very impressive, successful, or intelligent, or simply happy and lively. In British English, incandescent can also describe someone or something feeling or showing great anger. // The invention of the incandescent bulb in the 19th century ushered in the age of electric lighting. // However much we were inclined to dislike her, it was hard not to be charmed by her incandescent smile and wit. See the entry > Examples: “Chang was 31 years old in 1998 when she debuted with Hunger. The reviews were raves, the praise, incandescent. The New York Times profiled her two years after publication as if to observe just how extraordinary the collection and the reviews had been. The critics said often that Chang was writing about lost homelands but you will see that these are stories mostly about the new homeland, not lost at all. These are mostly stories about America, about people who gave up everything to move here only to learn they would need to give up even more.” — Alexander Chee, foreword to Hunger (25th Anniversary Edition) by Lan Samantha Chang, 2023 Did you know? Incandescent first came to light in the English language toward the end of the 1700s, at a time when scientific experiments involving heat and light were being conducted on an increasingly frequent basis. An object that glowed at a high temperature (such as a piece of coal) was deemed incandescent. By the mid-1800s, the incandescent lamp—aka the lightbulb—had been invented; it contains a filament which gives off light when heated by an electric current. Figurative uses of incandescent soon followed, and today someone with a brilliant way with words may be said to have an “incandescent wit,” while someone positively beaming with joy may possess an “incandescent smile.”

Episode 92: Year B – 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time In this episode, we continue our study of Jesus' Bread of Life Discourse in John 6. The portion of the discourse that makes up the Gospel reading for this upcoming 21st Sunday of Ordinary Time, Year B, is verses 60-69. Like in last week's episode, the question is whether Jesus intended his teaching to eat his flesh and drink his blood to be taken literally or figuratively. We argue for a literal interpretation.

A conversation with John Kunemund of Alexander Gray Associates about the gallery's recent exhibit Conjuring Tenderness: Paintings from 1987 which featured the work of the late artist Hugh Steers. Known for his evocative and deeply personal works, Steers' paintings capture moments of vulnerability and intimacy, often set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis of the 1980s. In the conversation, we explore the context of Steers' work, his unique artistic vision, and his work's continued ability to resonate with contemporary audiences.https://www.alexandergray.com/exhibitions/hugh-steers4https://www.alexandergray.com/artists/hugh-steers

La plus ancienne œuvre d'art figurative connue au monde est effectivement une peinture rupestre représentant un cochon sauvage, découverte sur l'île de Sulawesi en Indonésie. Cette peinture a été datée d'environ 45 500 ans, bien que certaines estimations mentionnent qu'elle pourrait avoir jusqu'à 51 000 ans.La peinture représente un cochon verruqueux de Sulawesi (Sus celebensis), une espèce encore présente sur l'île aujourd'hui. La fresque montre l'animal avec des caractéristiques détaillées, notamment des poils faciaux et des verrues faciales distinctives, indiquant un niveau élevé de compétence artistique de la part des créateurs. Elle mesure environ 136 cm de long et 54 cm de haut.Cette découverte a été faite dans la grotte de Leang Tedongnge, située dans une vallée isolée entourée de falaises de calcaire abruptes. Les conditions d'accès difficiles et l'isolement géographique ont probablement contribué à la préservation de cette peinture pendant des dizaines de milliers d'années.Les archéologues ont utilisé la datation par uranium-thorium pour déterminer l'âge de la peinture. Cette méthode mesure les couches minérales qui se sont formées sur la peinture, fournissant une estimation de l'âge minimum de l'œuvre.Cette découverte est particulièrement significative car elle repousse les limites chronologiques de l'art figuratif humain, démontrant que les premiers humains anatomiquement modernes en Asie du Sud-Est possédaient déjà des capacités artistiques avancées. Elle contribue également à notre compréhension de l'évolution de l'art et de la culture humaine, indiquant que les comportements symboliques et artistiques étaient déjà développés à une époque très ancienne, indépendamment des régions géographiques.En résumé, la peinture rupestre de Sulawesi, représentant un cochon verruqueux et datée d'environ 45 500 à 51 000 ans, est actuellement la plus ancienne œuvre d'art figurative connue au monde. Cette découverte offre un aperçu précieux sur les capacités artistiques et symboliques des premiers humains dans cette région. Hébergé par Acast. Visitez acast.com/privacy pour plus d'informations.

Welcome to The On Preaching Podcast, the podcast dedicated to helping you to preach faithfully, clearly, and better.  The sermon preparation is a twofold process of getting the text right and getting the truth across.  In terms of biblical exegesis (getting the text across), I commend to you the inductive Bible study process:  Observation: What does the text say?  Interpretation: What does the text mean? Application: How does the text apply? Correlation: How does the text relate? In this episode, H.B. focuses on doing observations. The tools you need for this part of your word work are a Bible, something to take on, and the illumination of the Holy Spirit.  What should you look for in observations?  Key words. Key places.  Key people.  Vital statistics.  Figurative language.  Literary genre.  Diagnostic questions.  Circles of context.  Cross-references.  Passage structure.  Rhetorical functions.  What's not stated.  Dominating theme.  Authorial intent.  Gospel focus.  Practical implications.  Sanctified brainstorming.  For contact, information, or resources, visit hbcharlesjr.com.

As teens, we often find ourselves navigating a complex web of expectations from our peers, teachers, and even our parents. Sometimes, it can feel like we're putting on a mask just to fit in or avoid judgment. But what does it mean to be truly authentic in a world where conformity seems to be the norm? Let's start by talking about literal masks. With the ongoing pandemic, many of us have had to wear face masks to protect ourselves and others. While they serve an important purpose, they can also feel like a barrier, hiding our expressions and muffling our voices. But just because our faces are covered doesn't mean we can't still be seen and heard. Figurative masks, on the other hand, are a bit trickier to navigate. These are the masks we put on to hide our insecurities, our fears, or even our true identities. Maybe you feel pressured to act a certain way to fit in with a particular group, or perhaps you're afraid to speak up for fear of being judged. But here's the thing: wearing a figurative mask might help us blend in temporarily, but it also prevents us from fully embracing who we are. And when we hide behind these masks, we not only betray ourselves but also miss out on the opportunity to connect with others authentically. So, how can we start to shed these masks and show up as our true selves? It all starts with self-awareness and self-acceptance. Take some time to reflect on your values, passions, and goals. What makes you unique? What brings you joy? Embrace those aspects of yourself, even if they don't fit the mold of what society expects. Next, surround yourself with people who accept you for who you are, masks and all. Whether it's friends, family, or mentors, having a support system can make all the difference in feeling confident enough to let your true self shine. And finally, remember that it's okay to be vulnerable. Opening up about your struggles and insecurities can be scary, but it's also incredibly freeing. When we allow ourselves to be seen in our entirety, flaws and all, we give others permission to do the same. So, to all the teens out there struggling to find their place in the world, know that you are not alone. You are worthy of love and belonging just as you are, masks and all. Keep shining your light brightly, because the world needs your unique brilliance now more than ever.  

Most of the Bible was written to be understood literally, describing historical events that actually happened. There are some parts of the Bible, though, that were written in figurative language; they are poetic or didactic in nature, describing an indescribable God using the limited words we have, and using allegory to teach us about ultimate reality in Him...

This is part 3 of the Read the Bible For Yourself. Today is the first of two episodes on how to understand and apply the Bible. One of the greatest problems facing Bible readers today is the lifted verse. It's so common to see a verse or even half a verse posted on social media or on a sign somewhere. When most people read a random verse, they impose their own modern context and background information on it. As a result, it's easy to accidentally give a scripture new meaning that the original author never intended. How can we overcome this problem? Context. Today you'll learn about the 5 major contexts that are important to keep in mind when reading the Bible.

What does it mean to you today? Context, Context, Context Immediate context Canonical context Historical context Geographical context Cultural context Immediate Context Philippians 4:13  I can do all things through him who strengthens me. Putting this verse in context:Philippians 4:10-1410   I rejoiced in the Lord greatly that now at length you have revived your concern for me. You were indeed concerned for me, but you had no opportunity. 11 Not that I am speaking of being in need, for I have learned in whatever situation I am to be content. 12 I know how to be brought low, and I know how to abound. In any and every circumstance, I have learned the secret of facing plenty and hunger, abundance and need. 13 I can do all things through him who strengthens me. 14 Yet it was kind of you to share my trouble. Canonical Context Leviticus 11:4, 74 But among those that chew the cud or have divided hoofs, you shall not eat the following: the camel, for even though it chews the cud, it does not have divided hoofs; it is unclean for you. …7 The pig, for even though it has divided hoofs and is cleft-footed, it does not chew the cud; it is unclean for you. To whom were these statements originally made? Leviticus 11:1-21 The LORD spoke to Moses and Aaron, saying to them, 2 “Speak to the Israelites: “From among all the land animals, these are the creatures that you may eat. Historical Context Jeremiah 29:11For surely I know the plans I have for you, says the LORD, plans for your welfare and not for harm, to give you a future with hope. What were the historical circumstances in which this statement was originally made? Jeremiah 29:1These are the words of the letter that the prophet Jeremiah sent from Jerusalem to the remaining elders among the exiles and to the priests, the prophets, and all the people whom Nebuchadnezzar had taken into exile from Jerusalem to Babylon. Geographical Context John 2:13The Passover of the Jews was near, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Does this mean Jesus was south of Jerusalem? Actually, here “up” refers to elevation, since Jerusalem is on a hill. People go up to Jerusalem regardless of the direction from which they approach. Cultural Context Abraham and Sarah (nomadic) Solomon (palace life in the United Kingdom of Israel) Daniel (palace life in Babylon) Jesus (Galilee and Judea under Roman occupation) Paul (major Greco-Roman cities) Chronological Snobbery Originally coined by C. S. Lewis, this refers to the judgmental attitude that looks at people in ancient history as unsophisticated, primitive, and inferior. Ancient people were not dumb. They were no smarter or dumber than we are. Some of their technology was rather sophisticated. Literal vs. Figurative Didymus the Blind (ad 313-398): “Abraham entered then into Egypt allegorically by adapting himself as one of the perfect to the imperfect in order to do good to them instead of holding on to virtue as a privilege, as has been said above, but in showing her to all as his sister, in humility, so that by contemplating her they might come to love her. But observe how it is said that the officials saw her. There are in fact in the ranks of the allegorically viewed Egyptians some men who are purer, who have a great capacity for perceiving virtue. And they not only perceived her, but they introduced her to their superior, that is, to the reason that governs them, and they praised her” (On Genesis 228).[1] Sadly, Didymus overlayed the historical narrative of scripture with lessons about treasuring wisdom that were obviously not present in the text. Figurative sections of scripture like Isaiah 55:12 and Revelation 12:4 are fairly obvious. Generally, it's good to interpret the historical, legal, and epistolary portions as literal unless there's a good reason not to. Review: “Exegesis” is the process by which one studies, understands, and explains what a text means. The two questions you must ask when studying the Bible are: (1) "What did this mean to the original audience?" and (2) "What does this mean to me today?" Most errors in exegesis are the result of failing to read the immediate context. Getting a grip on the context of the original writing greatly improves exegesis, including immediate context, canonical context, historical context, geographical context, cultural context, and technological context. While reading historical narratives, law, biographies, and epistles, you should privilege literal interpretation over figurative, recognizing that exceptions can happen. If you don't understand something, just keep going. Figuring out the big picture can help immensely to understand the minutiae. [1]Sheridan, Mark and Thomas C.

In this conversation, multi-hyphenate Elliot Aronow discusses his work in helping men advance spiritually, creatively, and sartorially. He highlights the problem of stereotyping men's work and the importance of breaking free from societal expectations. Elliot shares his personal journey, from his early interest in fashion to his career in media and music. He emphasizes the significance of taking initiative and making things happen, as well as the role of personal style in self-expression. Elliot also discusses the challenges he faced in his 30s and the importance of community and creative pursuits in personal growth. The conversation explores various themes related to masculinity and community-building. It touches on the subcultures of people with Staten Island roots, the need to widen the spectrum of masculine expression, and the misconceptions about men's work. The discussion also highlights the lack of empathy for men and the failure to speak to men on the progressive side. It explores the importance of creating an alternative to right-wing masculinity and motivating men without shame. The conversation emphasizes the value of male community, rediscovering unstructured time, and the need for intergenerational male relationships. It concludes with a discussion on the importance of taking the lead in building male community and the need for a constructive clubhouse. Takeaways Stereotyping men's work is a significant problem that limits personal growth and self-discovery. Taking initiative and making things happen is crucial for personal and professional success. Personal style and fashion can be powerful tools for self-expression and building confidence. Navigating the dark night of the ego and facing personal challenges can lead to profound personal growth. Talk therapy alone may not be sufficient for personal transformation; creative pursuits and action are essential for manifesting change. Building a supportive community and having strong leadership are key factors in personal development. There are different subcultures of people with Staten Island roots, such as the Jiu-Jitsu community and colonic hydrotherapists. Men's work needs to widen its spectrum of expression to be more accessible and appealing to a broader audience. Misconceptions about men's work include the association with hating women or wilderness retreats, which can deter people from engaging in self-development. There is a lack of empathy for men, especially post-MeToo, which can lead to men feeling misunderstood and isolated. The progressive side has failed to speak to men effectively, leading some to seek validation and acceptance from right-wing ideologies. Creating an alternative to right-wing masculinity involves promoting a positive and inclusive definition of masculinity that does not demonize men. Motivating men without shame involves allowing them to be themselves and providing spaces for open and honest conversations. Building male community is essential for men's well-being and can be achieved through regular interactions and shared activities. Rediscovering unstructured time and engaging in vigorous nerditude can foster creativity, connection, and personal growth. Intergenerational male relationships are valuable for learning from different perspectives and experiences. Taking the lead in building male community requires individuals to step up and create spaces for connection and support. There is a need for a constructive clubhouse or salon-type event for men to gather, share ideas, and build relationships. Authenticity and unfocused writing can create a genuine and relatable connection with readers.

Following her father's passing 10 years ago, Deanna Clayton's artwork took an unexpected turn when she found herself modeling clay into a figurative vessel rather than a decorative one. The translation of the clay form into glass symbolized glass' inherent life-affirming qualities. Soft, flowing edges at the bases of these sculptures add to the sense of impermanence; electroplated copper helps to ground the figures, enhancing their presence. Clayton states: “The inspiration for this new body of work is a true love of the life inherent in glass itself. To create a face in glass is a self-evident evocation of the material's life quality. Creating abstracted forms in glass that become believable as life is what is truly inspiring. This is what continues my quest to experiment and explore glass and its capabilities as an art form.” Clayton started working with glass 35 years ago as a student in Bucks County, Pennsylvania. She began as most glass artists do, by being introduced to a blow pipe and a furnace of molten glass. Her work prior to finding glass was primarily drawing and printmaking, with an emphasis on representing the human form. She earned her associates in fine arts degree at Bucks County Community College. Wanting to continue her education in glass, Clayton chose Kent State University in Kent, Ohio, where the program taught by Henry Halem had produced some of the most successful glass artists working at the time. After two years, she moved to Champaign-Urbana, Illinois, where she graduated from the University of Illinois with a bachelor of fine arts degree in art history in 2002. While attending the University of Illinois, Clayton started her own glass studio with her husband, Keith Clayton. After 10 years in Illinois, in 1995 the couple discovered beautiful Door County, Wisconsin, where they moved with their three children. The studio was known for its pate de verre technique and electroplated copper vessels – a successful source of inspiration to her for over 20 years. Today, D.C. Studios LLC is designed to educate others in the ancient and rewarding process of pate de verre. Clayton has taught classes at the Corning Museum of Glass, New York; The Cleveland Institute of Art; and Duncan McClellan Glass Project, St. Petersburg, Florida. Her work can be seen in public and private collections around the world. This year's exhibitions included a solo exhibition, Surging Forward, at Duncan McClellan Gallery, St. Petersburg, Florida; Glass Coast Weekend, Habatat Fine Art, Sarasota, Florida; and Art Palm Beach, Mattsen Fine Art, Palm Beach, Florida. Artist awards include the 2019 Collectors Choice, 47th Annual International Glass Invitational, Habatat Galleries, Royal Oak, Michigan; SAC Award, Professional Dimensions Group, Milwaukee, Wisconsin; and Most Unique Interpretation of a Vessel, Habatat Galleries, Boca Raton, Florida. Says Clayton: “I love the versatility and freshness of glass as an artistic medium. The potential for expression in contemporary glass is limitless.”

Merriam-Webster's Word of the Day for April 29, 2023 is: expedite • EK-spuh-dyte • verb To expedite something is to speed up its process or progress. Expedite can also mean “to carry out promptly.” // To expedite the processing of your request, please include your account number on all documents. See the entry > Examples: “Builders have been accused of using cheap materials and skirting building codes to expedite projects and fatten profits—erecting structures that could not survive quakes.” — Nimet Kirac, The New York Times, 17 Feb. 2023 Did you know? Need someone to do something in a hurry? You can tell that person to step on it—or you can tell them expedite it. Figurative feet are involved in both cases, though less obviously in the second choice. Expedite comes from the Latin verb expedire, meaning “to free from entanglement” or “to release (a person) especially from a confined position.” The feet come in at that word's root: it traces back to Latin ped- or pes, meaning “foot.” Expedient and expedition also stepped into English by way of expedire.
