CHAPTERS 1&2

Then they took Jonah and threw him overboard, and the raging sea grew calm. At this the men greatly feared the LORD, and they offered a sacrifice to the LORD and made vows to him.

But the LORD provided a great fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was inside the fish three days and three nights.

From inside the fish Jonah prayed to the LORD his God. He said:

“In my distress I called to the LORD,
and he answered me.
From the depths of the grave I called for help,
and you listened to my cry.
You hurled me into the deep,
into the very heart of the seas,
and the currents swirled about me;
all your waves and breakers
swept over me.
I said, ‘I have been banished
from your sight;
yet I will look again
toward your holy temple.’
The engulfing waters threatened me,
the deep surrounded me;
seaweed was wrapped around my head.
To the roots of the mountains I sank down;
the earth beneath barred me in forever.
But you brought my life up from the pit,
O LORD my God.

“When my life was ebbing away,
I remembered you, LORD,
and my prayer rose to you,
to your holy temple.

“Those who cling to worthless idols
forfeit the grace that could be theirs.
But I, with a song of thanksgiving,
will sacrifice to you.
What I have vowed I will make good.
Salvation comes from the LORD.”

AND THE LORD COMMANDED THE FISH, AND IT VOMITED JONAH ONTO DRY LAND.

[Red Badger]

It must have been a Holy Mackerel!.......................

[Hebrews 11:6]

Now that you’ve solved that, we can move on to other issues.

[etabeta]

The first two sculptures and the beautiful #4 by Bell. Thank you, Dan.

[Hebrews 11:6]

My pleasure, Alba.

[Hebrews 11:6]

So, you don’t consider Magazanik’s #17 to be a masterpiece?

[etabeta]

Not at all. Not my kind of painting or illustration. Sorry.

[Allegra]

There’s a whimsy about #11 that I like.

All of these are very interesting.

[Hebrews 11:6]

Just checking, Alba. Glad you have standards.

[Hebrews 11:6]

I’d like to have that on my desk, as a reminder to cooperate with God.

[left that other site]

Good Morning, Dan. :-)

[Hebrews 11:6]

Glad you are avoiding Moby Dick’s innards, Mary-Lou.
