At the Battle of Gettysburg (1-3 July 1863) Confederate Lieutenant General James Longstreet urged his commanding officer, General Robert E. Lee, to reposition their forces on the evening of Day 1. Lee refused, as the Union Army was before him and he had never retreated from a battle once engaged.

A Funny Thing Happened on the Way to the Pulpit: Local Pastor Emerges as Stand-Up Comedian

He’s a rarity, that’s for sure. A guy who’s equally at ease while preaching from the Bible in a church or delivering a punch line at a comedy club. That’s right, State College’s Jonathan Weibel is both an ordained pastor and a professional stand-up comedian. Appropriately enough, he jokes about his curious combination of professions. “I fly a lot,” says the clergy comic, “and one of the first things someone says to you on a plane is, ‘What do you do for a living?’ If I want to talk to them, I tell them I’m a stand-up comedian. And if I’m tired and don’t want to talk to them, I’ll tell them I’m a Baptist evangelist.” Weibel has served in Christian ministry for nearly 40 years. The last 30 years have been spent in the Centre Region, where he’s planted three new churches and served as lead pastor, worship pastor or youth pastor at State College Alliance Church, Penns Valley Community Church and Centre Church. He first got my attention in work that was unrelated to stand-up: serving as the director of Front Yard Mission , a movement designed to bring genuine Christian love to neighborhoods. But then I heard

Remembering Veterans in Franklin County

Before it was Veterans Day, it was Armistice Day—to honor the end of World War I on November 11, 1918–at the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month. It carried a hope for a sustained peace as it paid tribute to the veterans of Gthe reat War, but World War I was not the war to end all wars. September 1, 1939, marked the beginning of World War II. Though Armistice Day was not forgotten, celebrations were somber remembrances. After World War II concluded in 1945 and the Korean War in 1953, President Dwight Eisenhower signed legislation to expand Armistice Day to include all veterans and rename the celebration of November 11 to Veterans Day.
