The Turn of the Tide

Last updated on: December 18, 2023 at 8:00 am By Ben Witherington

The Turn of the Tide Breathless was the air over Bethlehem; black and bare The fields; hard as granite were the clods; Hedges stiff with ice; the sedge, in the vice Of the ponds, like little iron rods. The deathly stillness spread from Bethlehem; it was shed Wider each moment on the land; Through rampart and wall into camp and into hall Stole the hush. All tongues were at a stand. Travellers at their beer in taverns turned to hear... Read more

Feeling Bullish on Toro

Last updated on: December 15, 2023 at 8:35 pm By Ben Witherington

There are many many good restaurants in Lexington where I live, in fact there are more restaurants per capita than in any other large city in America, but no Spanish ones worth talking about. Now when I say Spanish I do not mean Mexican or Tex-Mex. I mean actual Spanish food. And fortunately there is an excellent one in San Antonio that we decided to sample—- simply called Toro Kitchen and Bar. So what does a genuine Spanish restaurant (with... Read more

Forgiveness– It Does a Body and Brain Good

Last updated on: December 10, 2023 at 6:18 am By Ben Witherington

Jesus from the cross— ‘Father forgiven them for they know not what they are doing’. The following is an excerpt from an article on CNN on Dec. 10th. “Robert Enright, who has been studying forgiveness for nearly four decades and is cofounder of the nonprofit International Forgiveness Institute, said there is plenty of evidence that shows the act has psychological benefits, including reducing anger, anxiety and depression. Forgiveness also has a positive impact on our health, including lower blood pressure, better... Read more

The Fab Four

Last updated on: December 9, 2023 at 7:37 am By Ben Witherington

It is quite hard to believe that it was 43 years ago that John Lennon was shot and killed outside the Dakota apartments in NY. So many of us were in shock. How could this happen? Answer– a deranged fan with easy access to a weapon. It is the plague that continues to destroy our country. On a much happier note, this past Wednesday my wife and I got to go here the Fab Four re-create on the original instruments... Read more

Christmas has been Cancelled— in Bethlehem

https://www.cnn.com/2023/12/08/opinions/christmas-cancelled-bethlehem-palestinian-christians-rabie/index.html The news is both sad and bad. I received an emergency email from a Palestinian Christian shop owner last month after the fight between Israel and Hamas had begun. All tourism had dried up suddenly, and his shop needed funds to stay in business. His is an olive wood carving business. I take tour groups to his shop when I am there, and the last time I was there, he gave me this—– Last year we went to the... Read more

Krispy Kreme- a sign of the Apocalypse

Last updated on: December 7, 2023 at 6:44 am By Ben Witherington

A clear sign that Christmas, or the end of the world. must be at hand is that my North Carolina doughnuts, Krispy Kreme doughnuts, have been embraced in France. Now back in 2013 when I was on sabbatical at my alma mater, Durham University in England suddenly a Krispy Kreme shop opened in downtown Durham amidst all the old shops. And was mobbed. Here below is the proof that Krispy Kreme is sign of the endtimes, or at least Christmas... Read more
