Happy March, friends! February was such a gift to us. We spent our Valentine’s Day eating Chick-Fil-A chicken nuggets and researching the Lenten season which began on the 14th. We decided to begin a family prayer book to record both our prayers and His answers to them. We are writing down requests and intercessions that we go over every morning, and these times of prayer have been so sweet and edifying.

It is worth mourning that, what was in not what is. Yet we are called to participate with God in turning what is, into what will be. Many of us are struggling with the reality that the culture which we grew up in no longer holds the same values that once felt unanimous. Many of us are feeling threatened by the competing world views that are now in the public sphere. And many of us feel a longing for things to return to the normalcy that we consider the “good old days”

What other God in history has so associated himself with the poor and lowly? From his birth in a stable with a feeding trough for a bed (Luke 2), to his proclamation that if you have cared for a person who lacks food you have cared for him (Matthew 25). No other God who is held out as being so great has ever associated themselves so strongly with those who are so lowly.

The kingdom of God, like the Garden of Eden, is supposed to spread over the whole earth by means of us. So look around you, in your city, your neighborhood, your family. Look and see those areas that need redeeming, and start living the good life.

We have finished our first month in Ocala and things have been busy! God has been good to us. We have connected and reconnected with several pastors and friends in the area, started volunteering with the youth group of one of our partner churches, and are helping to start a young married couples group with another church in the area.

Our call as followers of Christ is to rely upon the Lord, living with hands that are open to receive blessings on God's time and to bless those around us. His blessings, love, and favor are not meant only to come to us, but they are meant to come through us to others.

He was the King during the golden age of the unified kingdom of Israel. He expanded the kingdom back to its former glory. He was wiser than any man alive. He was richer than any man alive. He was the greatest lover his kingdom had ever known. He was a ruler, a philosopher, and a poet. He was Plato's ideal King. All of these things make King Solomon a mythical figure in our imaginations.

Jonah chapter 4 is a beautiful conclusion to the short story of Jonah. This chapter contains the reason for Jonahs fleeing, and the true heart of God.

Chapter 3 is a sort of re-telling of chapter 1. Both begin in the exact same way and progress with a number of similar themes and patters. With this kind of story telling, much is communicated in the differences rather than in the similarities. Take note of the differences and try to see what the author is trying to communicate through them.

Jonah chapter two quotes heavily from the Psalms, and in doing so it subversively instructs its reader how to turn back to and cry out to God, while also reminding the reader of the faithfulness of God to those who seek him.

The book of Jonah is a remarkable short story about a prophet of God who becomes the greatest obstacle to the plans and purposes of God for redemption.
