Who else might have benefitted from Jonah’s disobedience? These are the spin-offs that I am interested in. Let’s go all the way back to chapter one.

Water in the boat…
Yesterday was Sunday. As with most every other Sunday, you will find me at Grace Fellowship Church in Flint, Texas. During the sermon, Pastor Robert told a story about bustin’ a hole in the bottom of his boat out on the lake one day. Robert talks about hunting and fishing quite a bit…lol.

He walked toward the hunting section and found the game cameras. He picked one up that had a high resolution camera in it with night capability. It […]
