Go ahead and send me more - I'll add them to the code. Always check the page for the latest version. For you techies out there, feel free to share the code. It's pretty basic stuff (hey, it's Saturday, I have laundry to do :o). It is published under the MIT license which basically means you can do anything with it you want, as long as you keep the original copyright notice and license intact.

This is great, Jim. I thought of another one that I can't believe I forgot.
"Fully devoted follower of Christ."
Tom,
I just added that and it's up there (along with "Convicted", one I overuse a lot).
Two things I added today was an "About" button that shows the version and complete list of words used (so people can check what's already in the code before sending me a suggestion) and a "print style" which prints just the bingo card itself if you hit Ctrl-P to make it friendlier to print out a bunch in advance of (you'll need to print in landscape mode).
It's been a fun and diverting little project!
What? No "purpose-driven" "purpose statement" or "mission statement"??
Prego, it's in there - v1.3. Hit F5 and all shall be revealed. Ask, and ye shall receive.
