June

This year's summer reading program kicks off on June 1. Kids age 3 and older can earn beads, stickers, and raffle prizes all summer long, through August 31.

The performance is 45 minutes, followed by a Q&A. Register now at oppl.org/calendar. 834 Lake St., Oak Park. This roots-rocking veteran performer with a loopy sense of humor is a frequent visitor to the FitzGerald’s stage. Combining the best in rockabilly, country, 60s garage rock, pulp novels, radio serials, and whatever else crosses his mind, its a surefire bet that it will be a rocking good time. The C21 Women’s Ensemble presents songs that fuel the fires of imagination. Simon Spier keeps a huge secret from his family, his friends and all of his classmates: he’s gay. The life and creative work of the beloved Spanish poet Federico García Lorca will be celebrated. In a career that spanned only 19 years, the poet revitalized Spanish poetry and theater by creatively blending artistic traditions with Modernist tendencies. This two-day master class is facilitated by professional touring performers Justin Reynolds, Tracy Byrd, and Michael Wordly as well as the Academy’s very own Kiana Beverly, culminating in students performing the opening number for Legacy In Concert. This presentation features two 2.5-hour workshop sessions where students will build their skills in singing, dancing, and stage presence while learning a group number together, with the opportunity to open for Legacy in Concert on June 3-4. The program begins with a few short remarks, followed by a ceremonial ribbon cutting. The audience is invited to bring lawn chairs and blankets. Even when you have the whole summer to run around and enjoy the outdoors, there’s nothing like a good book every now and then. For adults and young adults over 12.

I'm Albert Mohler, and this is The Briefing, a daily analysis of news and events from a Christian worldview. Part I. Who is and is Not ...

The Scripture also says, and this is really interesting, "Let your 'Yea' be 'Yea' and your 'Nay' be 'Nay'. Let your 'Yes' be 'Yes' and your 'No' be 'No'." Let that be clear enough, let your character be strong enough and trusted enough that you don't have to use some kind of additional word just to get attention, as if no one's actually going to believe your yes means yes or your no means no. But the Bible, as it speaks of the child and the man, is speaking more of the intellect here, of the rational ability, of reasoning as a child, that's what the Apostle Paul is talking about, versus reasoning as an adult. And by the way, it is ratified not only in the Bible and not only in just about every society on planet Earth, it's also ratified or demonstrated by the development of the human being. And that was a legally compelling, morally compelling argument that was sufficient for Congress to send the issue to the states and a sufficient super majority of the states to similarly ratify the amendment. The age of majority is the age at which an individual, a citizen is understood to be an adult and the age at which parental authority, in legal terms as the ultimate and proximate authority, comes to an end. But even if in the United States it's age 18 that comes first to mind, a little bit of difference state by state, the reality is that the states also, as well as the federal government, have to back off of that arbitrary age at some point. But you have to have some point in every society at which you say, at least in legal terms, "A child on that side of the line, an adult on the other side of the line." No, all of that comes in the eventual and progressive acquisition of the status of adulthood and the responsibilities of adulthood. Parents have a different role to play, even in the life of a young person who's 17 and a half, that legally, in most jurisdictions, goes away the moment that young person turns 18. Different parts of the brain function in different ways, and different people have brains that function in different ways. Now, what I will discuss at the end of the segment of The Briefing is the fact that the primary biblical way of understanding the difference between a child and an adult is not just years, although the years are not unimportant. But the bigger issue here is a society that's just confused over the definition of child and the definition of adult.
