The Whirley-Pop was heating up pretty quickly. We were looking forward to an evening of feasting on mouth-watering popcorn. A friend was over for the evening.
There is little else more satisfying than fellowship with good friends, and handfuls of good food.
That's when I heard the wailing and awaited the tears.
Our daughter, Elizabeth, had awoken from her nap in the usual way: unhappy. But I was stuck at the stove, steadily cranking away, the tension building in the simmering, swirling kernels . . . and in my sobbing daughter.

Context Is King
Context is king — it rules the meaning of everything.
This is a maxim I often use. Those who have been in Bible studies with me, or heard me lecture, probably have heard me state the maxim...and probably more than once.
Words have meaning within their contexts — verbal and other contexts. When interpreting a text, the primary context is textual. Here words have meaning in constellation with other words.
