As we look at Christ's first coming this Christmas season, here's a story to help us keep in mind Christ's Second Coming:

In April of 2008, I had to drive to Fort Wayne, Indiana, for work, so I went to Enterprise to rent a car. They gave me a big, brand-new, comfy Chrysler 300 to drive—and I loved it! In fact, I enjoyed feeling large and in charge so much that I blew right past the first tollbooth. ...

Suppose we were to come up with a set of Beatitudes for the 21st Century. What if we made a list of the kinds of people who seem to be well-off—who seem to have it made—by today's standards? It might go something like this:

In an interview published on May 8, 2006, Newsweek magazine asked Tom Hanks, "How do you soothe the people who consider the story [of The Da Vinci Code] offensive?"

He arrived at Wheaton College in Wheaton, Illinois, during my junior year, 1947-48. A German who had spent time as a prisoner of war, he was now working as a janitor, sweeping the halls and cleaning the restrooms of Blanchard Hall.

Throughout the last century, several actors have turned down roles in movies that eventually became Hollywood legends. For example, Burt Lancaster turned down the lead in Ben-Hur in 1959. The role of Judah Ben-Hur eventually went to Charlton Heston, who won an Academy Award and added another hit to his career of blockbusters. Oops!
