This is a big 'ole thank you to my great friend Sarah J. She and I have been working on a Bible study together over the past three weeks. It's a Bible study about how to study the Bible. We figured that would be the best place to start - we're quick like that ;-)
Anyway, this week we are reading in Jonah - chapters one and two. For many years I have heard the story of Jonah and the whale, and have seen the cartoons and movies about being inside a the belly of a whale (Finding Nemo and I think Pinocchio), but I'm sure I've never really thought about that actually happening to a real person.
Now, having said that, you have to understand that I believe the Bible to be 100% true, and I specifically want to focus on Jonah 2:10 - this is where the action is. The Bible says, "And the Lord commanded the fish, and it vomited Jonah onto dry land."
Uuummmmm...eeeewww! Can you imagine? Vomited? Yikes!
She and I had a good laugh over the times we have been (theoretically, of course) "vomited" from the belly of the great fish! And how you inevitably go through those sort of things when you choose to avoid the grace that God has given (Jonah 2:8).
So, I'd like to thank her for not running from God when He laid it on her heart to start a Bible study!! Thank you, sister! I love you!!
