JONAH
Although the book is very short, Jonah must have been well known and respected. He is referred to in II Kings 14:25 and by Jesus himself in Matthew 12:39-41.

Jonah was directed by the Lord to go to Nineveh and warn them of impending doom. Jonah did not want to go and boarded a ship bound for a distant port. A huge storm struck, Jonah admitted to being the cause of the storm and was thrown overboard. The storm quieted and Jonah was swallowed by a huge sea creature. While in the belly of the creature, he prayed and after being in the belly of the creature for three days and three nights, he was vomited onto the beach. He went to Nineveh.

Those in Nineveh turned from their sinful ways and averted destruction. Jonah was not pleased: he had hoped for destruction of the city.

LINDEN'S LIFE
Was without energy today. Did go out for dinner with Nicea Irwin, her son, Andrew, and step-mother, Janie. They are staying a night or two in the mission house. Chris and Nicea are missionaries in Spain and Janie and her husband are in Zimbabwe. Andrew is getting ready to start college here in the States.
