May 19 was Pentecost Sunday by Kevin E. Dayhoff May 22, 2013 http://tinyurl.com/q4sk774



Last Sunday was Pentecost Sunday; the 50 day after Easter and the birthday of the church. Along with Easter and Christmas, Pentecost is one of the three most important holidays in the church. It’s time to renew the spirit of Pentecost in our daily lives. Here’s why.

Pentecost has many meanings, which are, in essence, really only different parts of the same elephant. The English word ‘Pentecost’ is actually a transliteration of the Greek word ‘pentekostos,’ which means ‘fifty.’

It is one of the oldest holidays in the church. Its roots may be traced to the Jewish Feast of Weeks, or Shavuot, (as is referred to in Exodus 34:22, Deuteronomy 16:10,) which is celebrated 50 days after God passed down the Torah, which included the Ten Commandments to the assembled nation of Israel at Mount Sinai. This year Shavuot took place May 14 – May 16, 2013.

There are those who believe that the Jewish faith borrowed the holiday from ancient pagan rituals which celebrated the death of winter and a spirit of (spring) renewal.

In the Bible, Pentecost is mentioned in St. Paul's letter to a troubled church, the First Letter to the Corinthians 16:8. “But I will stay in Ephesus until Pentecost…”

On my recent trip to Greece, I had the honor of standing in the marketplace at the very spot where it is believed Paul spoke to the turbulent crowds in Corinth. Thousands of years later, we must redouble our efforts to carry the example of Paul forward to address our troubled times.

Pentecost is also mentioned in the Acts of the Apostles in Chapter 20, verse 16: “For Paul had decided to sail past Ephesus, so that he might not have to spend time in Asia; for he was hastening to be at Jerusalem, if possible, on the day of Pentecost.”

Pentecost Sunday marks the end of the Easter season on the Christian calendar. Pentecost Monday – the first Monday after the celebration of Pentecost is celebrated as a holiday in many countries, most notably, in England.

The story of the first Pentecost is told by Acts 2; when people had gathered in Jerusalem for the Jewish festival, the Feast of Weeks.

It was during Pentecost Sunday, 10 days after the ascension of Christ, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Twelve Disciples and followers of Jesus. Today, Pentecost is the important celebration of that fateful day when the Apostles were bestowed the gifts to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all peoples and nations.

According to Acts 2: 2-4: “… please click here to read more: http://www.thetentacle.com/ShowArticle.cfm?mydocid=5790

Many believe that the current decline in church attendance directly contributes to the erosion of our quality of life, the deterioration of our sense of community and lack of confidence in the future.

Pentecost by Jean Restout II 1732



Pentecost by Jean Restout II 1732

Sunday was Pentecost Sunday

Jean II Restout, March 26, 1692 – January 1, 1768, was a French baroque classicism painter.

His oil painting, “Pentecost,” is dated 1732.

The painting depicts the first Pentecost Sunday, ten days after the ascension of Christ, when the Holy Spirit descended upon the Twelve Disciples and followers of Jesus.

Today, Pentecost is the important celebration of that fateful day when the Apostles were bestowed the gifts to preach the gospel of Jesus Christ to all peoples and nations.

According to Acts 2: 2-4: “… suddenly there came from heaven a sound like a mighty rushing wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. And divided tongues as of fire appeared to them and rested on each one of them. 4 And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues as the Spirit gave them utterance….”

Eagle Archive: Good riddance to short, dark, gray, cold and dreary month of February http://tinyurl.com/ackwtma






T.S. Eliot wrote in the poem, "The Waste Land," published in November of 1922, that "April is the cruelest month."

I could not disagree more.

The month of February is a horrible joke foisted upon us. This, in spite of the fact that Feb. 24, St. Matthias Day, is, by tradition, understood to be the luckiest day of the year.

According to research by the Historical Society of Carroll County, "The Jan. 27, 1922, issue of the Union Bridge Pilot newspaper mentioned St. Matthias Day, saying: 'Another bit of old weather lore comes February 24, St. Matthias day. According to the old saying: 'If he finds ice, he'll break it. If he finds none, he'll make it.'" …

Saint Matthias is a pretty mysterious character in the Bible. He is only mentioned twice — in Acts 1:21-22 and Acts 1: 26. In those passages, it is noted that following the Ascension of Christ, 120 disciples were assembled by Peter to choose a replacement for Judas. Two were nominated for consideration, Joseph Barsabbas, also known as Justus, and Matthias.

The choice between the two was determined by the luck of the draw. Acts 1: 26 says, "And they gave forth their lots; and the lot fell upon Matthias."

His name is never mentioned again in the New Testament, even though he was named the twelfth disciple.

Anyway, when it comes to weather in the month of February, we are not as lucky as Matthias… http://www.baltimoresun.com/explore/carroll/news/community/ph-ce-eagle-archive-0303-20130305,0,4412485.story

The Happy Lutherans celebrate Monday FEBRUARY 18, 2013 to commemorate the death of Martin Luther


The Happy Lutherans celebrate Monday FEBRUARY 18, 2013 to commemorate the death of Martin Luther 



A big Hat Tip goes out to Bill Babylon for calling to our attention that:

Monday, February 18, 2013 is not only a United States national holiday, but also an international holiday…

467 years after Martin Luther’s death a national holiday has been proclaimed to remember the great reformer.

All Federal and State offices are closed, as well as banks and schools (check your newspapers for other closures).

Some appropriate ways to mark the occasion are:
Wear red (chartreuse doesn't count)
Nail something to a door.
Stand somewhere and refuse to budge.
Do something paradoxical.
Translate something into German.
Set your ring tone to "Ein Feste Burg"
All Lutherans may have this day as a personal holiday (check with your employer).

(Note: It also seems to be President's Day. Apparently, the best way to observe that is to buy something- perhaps even a President!)

This message brought to you by the Happy Lutherans

Kevin Dayhoff
October 14, 2010

Kevin, age 57, is a Westminster native who lives on Uniontown Road with his wife, Caroline Babylon.  Kevin has been a freelance writer and artist since 1971; a self-employed artist and businessman since 1974 and exhibiting art since 1981.

As a landscape, collage, mixed media assemblage, sculpture artist, writer and photographer; he has had a life-long pervasive interest in spatial relationships and the juxtapositioning of incongruent objects. 

After graduating from Westminster High School in 1971, he attended Elon College two years before quitting college to pursue a career in writing and art.

He returned to Westminster and worked at a variety of jobs. Dayhoff soon put aside his drawings and collages and concentrated increasingly on technical writing and landscape designing where he could turn his art into a finished product that the greater community could more easily understand - and for which he was paid.

In 1974, Dayhoff started his own business as a landscape designer, contractor, and nurseryman.  As the business continued to get established, he found that he could spend more time on his first loves – art and writing.

In June and July 1981 Dayhoff had his first art show, a one-person show at the Theatre Project in Baltimore, followed by a group show, "Four at 409" at Gallery 409, in Baltimore in October 1982

It was in the 1982 time period that Dayhoff met Carroll County artists Linda Van Hart and Robert J. Waddell while he was exploring photocopier art.

Hart and Waddell opened-up more opportunities for Dayhoff to explore art and have opportunities to show.  In addition to encouraging Dayhoff to continue exploring photocopier art and collage, Hart and Waddell also introduced Dayhoff to ‘Mail Art.”  Dayhoff continues to participate in (幸円 良介 - Ryosuke Cohen’s long-running “Brain Cell” – “Fractal” series, from Osaka, Japan, (from 1988) to this day.

Beginning with a June 1983 one-person show, Dayhoff has had the opportunity to display art locally at the Carroll Arts Center on five occasions over the last 3 decades.  In addition to the Arts Center, he has had about six shows at Western Maryland College from 1985 to 1991, including an extensive one-person retrospective show, “Tales of a Disenfranchised Hilltop Artist/Farmer,” in February 1990.

Dayhoff retired from landscape design, contracting and raising nursery stock after 25 years in the business, in 1999.  From 1999 to 2005 Dayhoff served as an elected official for the city of Westminster; from 1999 to 2001 as a councilmember and 2001 to 2005 as mayor.

He currently writes about history, art, agriculture, community, and crime for several publications including Explore Carroll for Patuxent Publishing Co., since June 2, 2005; The Tentacle, since June 9, 2005 and Investigative Voice since February 25, 2010. 

In the past he has enjoyed collaborating with a number of artist groups, including The Consortionists with Linda Van Hart and Bobby Waddell from 1983 to 1989; the United Art Workers from 1989 to 1991 and most recently with Off Track Art from December 2008 to present.

Artist Biography

After working in the corporate world for many years Donna took an early retirement.  In January 2007, she took her first art class at Carroll Community College.  She continued with private watercolor classes with Felisa Flecker, workshops and classes with Tara Grim, Carolyn Seabolt, Sarah Abel DeLuca, and Skip Lawrence.  Presently Donna enjoys abstract painting, using acrylics, collage and mixed media with Ed Ramsburg, who continually encourages her to grow as an artist.

She has exhibited at Carroll County Community College – The Great Hall, Carroll Life Gallery, Circuit Court Building, Carroll County Arts Council, Frederick Arts Council (FAC), Delaplaine Visual Arts Education Center (DVAEC), The Artists Gallery, FMH Crestwood Gallery, and Frederick County Art Association.  Within this past year, two of the art pieces have been shown at the Annapolis Statehouse Building.  Presently, original pieces and giclees are in private collections and consigned in a local shop.

When Donna was in the second grade art class, she remembered feeling the excitement when painting her first abstract.  Now she is focusing on acrylic, collage and mixed media abstracts - the larger the canvas, the better.  She enjoys expressing creativity through painting and going to new levels using the imagination with whatever materials are available.  The whole process from beginning to end is exhilarating! I love sharing my world of color with others.
