Roman Catholic priest Mario Marega spent many long years engaged in missionary work in Japan, even during the chaotic period of World War II.
But it wasn’t until decades after his death that people discovered the wealth of information the Italian priest had collected on the history of Christians in Japan.
With words of encouragement from Pope Francis, the Vatican and Japanese organizations this year will start to study the 10,000 documents amassed by Marega to shed light on Japanese Christians, called Kirishitan, who for centuries hid their faith under the threat of persecution.
The Marega Project is expected to take six years to complete.
“Even in Japan, there have been no cases involving such a large number of historical materials related to Japanese Christians,” said Cesare Pasini, prefect of the Vatican Library, where Marega’s documents were found.
In a speech on Jan. 15, Pope Francis praised Japanese Christians, saying: “This is great. ... They were isolated and hidden, but they were always members of the People of God.” He called them model believers.
The next day, the newspaper L’Osservatore Romano, which conveys the Vatican’s official views, urged readers to learn from Japanese Christians.
Pope Francis, who had said he wanted to do missionary work in Japan when he was young, belongs to the Society of Jesus. The society’s members included Francisco de Xavier (1506-1552), a Roman Catholic missionary who brought Christianity to Japan in the 16th century.
Christian missionaries were expelled from Japan in the early 17th century, and their followers were persecuted. Many converts were executed.
Next year marks the 150th anniversary of the Roman Catholic priests’ return to Japan, where they found that Kirishitan were still in the country.
Marega (1902-1978) visited Japan around 1930 and worked in Oita Prefecture. Before leaving the prefecture in 1950, he collected documents that he used to publish “Bungo Kirishitan Shiryo” (Historical materials of Kirishitan in Bungo). Bungo is the old name of the southern part of Oita Prefecture.
In 2011, a huge number of materials written in Japanese were found in packages kept at the Vatican Library. They were the original materials collected by Marega.
According to Pasini, about 10 staff members of the library have been looking into documents, but most of the workers are specialists in materials written in Greek or Latin.
Only one is in charge of documents written in other languages, including Japanese, so the studies have made little progress.
After the inauguration of Pope Francis in March 2013, the Vatican Library and Japanese organizations, including the government-affiliated National Institutes for the Humanities, agreed in November to conduct a joint study on the documents.
“The pope is supporting our library’s activities of promoting cultural exchanges with a distant country,” Pasini said.
The researchers will create indexes and make the information available on the Internet.
Kazuo Otomo, a professor at the National Institute of Japanese Literature who represents the Japanese side, expressed hope for the joint project.
“Of the historical materials, 90 percent have yet to be clarified,” Otomo said. “They will have a big influence on future studies about the suppression suffered by Kirishitan in Japan. The clarification will also enable researchers to compare the situation in Japan with religious suppression in other parts of the world.”
FAITH KEPT IN NAGASAKI
Men in kimono sit on their heels and recite a prayer that sounds similar to a Buddhist chant and ends up resembling a hymn.
The prayer, called “Uta-Orasho,” derives from a centuries-old chant long forgotten in Europe. But it continues to be recited on Ikitsukishima island in Hirado, Nagasaki Prefecture, symbolizing the resilience of a Christian community that suffered more than two centuries of persecution.
“Our ancestors continued to hold rituals even in times when they could be killed if they were found,” Masashi Funabara, 51, said. “We also want to continue to do so.”
Funabara is one of the 400 Christians on the island who call themselves Kirishitan. About 300 people among the island’s population of about 6,000 are conventional Roman Catholic Christians.
Christianity spread on the island in the mid-16th century, when the Society of Jesus began missionary work there.
But the Japanese government in the early 17th century expelled missionaries and banned Christianity. Converts were severely suppressed, and it is said that the sea became red with their blood.
However, they kept their faith, usually in secret, and continued to recite their words of prayer in Latin.
"Uta-Orasho" is said to be the first Western music to enter Japan, and the words have not changed over the centuries.
In 1982, Tatsuo Minagawa, professor emeritus of music at Rikkyo University, found the musical score of a Gregorian chant that was the basis for "Uta-Orasho" in a national library in Madrid.
In November 2013, a choir led by conductor Tomomi Nishimoto sang the Gregorian chant at Mass in Saint Peter’s Basilica in the Vatican to honor "Uta-Orasho."
Around the same time, the prayer was chanted at Shima no Yakata (Island’s house), a museum on Ikitsukishima island.
Japan lifted the ban on Christianity in the mid-19th century and allowed priests to return to the country.
“It is a surprise that all the rituals remained after 250 years,” said Annibale Zambarbieri, a professor of religion at the University of Pavia in Italy.
He said that even today, people follow their religions in secret to escape suppression in some Muslim countries and North Korea. But Japan’s Kirishitan were extremely organized, he said.
In the early Showa Era (1926-1989), 80 percent of the 10,000 people on Ikitsukishima island were Kirishitan. But the population of the island is shrinking and aging, and the number of Kirishitan has decreased.
“Now is the time to review the existence of Kirishitan from a historical context,” said Shigeo Nakazono, a curator of the museum who studies the history of Kirishitan.
The Nagasaki prefectural government plans to seek World Heritage site status for a group of churches and facilities related to Christianity. The Vatican said in a letter to the prefectural government that it supports the registration.
Zambarbieri noted the controversy over whether Kirishitan should be regarded as Christians, considering the influences of Buddhism and Shinto on their faith.
“I think that we should call them, ‘Old Christians.’ Christianity has often mixed with local cultures. Even Pope Francis said that they are model believers. There is no reason not to regard them as Christians,” he said.

The Ecclesiological Society is for those who are interested in and enthusiastic about church history and church architecture.
Members’ interests range over all periods and places, from the earliest churches in Britain through to the most recent developments in ecclesiastical architecture, fittings and liturgy across the world.
The Society publishes a regular journal ‘Ecclesiology Today’, and a magazine style update ‘Churchcrawler’ for members. In addition there are regular online newsletters and occasionally as the need arises books are published where gaps in knowledge exist, most recently ‘Pews, Benches and Chairs: Church Seating in English Parish Churches from the Fourteenth Century to the Present’. There are regular events and lectures.
We are a friendly and informal Society, sharing our interest in churches.
We started life in 1879, when the Society was founded. At that time we were known as the St Paul’s Ecclesiological Society, because we originally met at St Paul’s Cathedral, London. In 1937 we shortened the name to The Ecclesiological Society.

We are coming to the end of another busy term at Holy Trinity. Thank you, as always, for your support for your children and the school. I would like to take this opportunity to wish you a happy and peaceful Christmas and a restful holiday.
This term we have already said goodbye to Mrs Toyne who left at the end of November to take up a new role in a private nursery. I would like to take this opportunity to thank her for her dedication to Holy Trinity and wish her well for the future.
On Thursday we will be saying a temporary goodbye to Miss Aslam who will be starting her maternity leave. We wish her well and look forward to meeting her new arrival. Mrs Alex Gilmore, an experienced teacher, will be taking over the Nursery class while Miss Aslam is absent.
The Magical Christmas Jigsaw
Thank you to everyone who came to see our Christmas show “The Magical Christmas Jigsaw” last week. Staff and children all worked so hard to prepare for it and it was wonderful to see the hall so full of parents and family members for the performances.
Holy Trinity Christmas Fair
Thank you to all of you who came back to school on Friday evening last week for our Christmas Fair. Father Christmas was very busy all night and so were all the other games and stalls.

The aim of the service was to lay up the official fire service colours (flags) which is a tradition carried out by the fire and rescue service, when firefighters lose their lives during the call of duty.
The event began with a procession led by Warwickshire County Council’s Fire and Rescue Services Colour Party, who led the parade through the village up to St Mary’s Church. During the service, a number of hymns were sung before the official ‘laying up of colours’ ceremony took place. During the formal part of the ceremony, the Chief Fire Officer, Graeme Smith, officially passed the flag to Reverend John Parker, who read a small passage. The colours were then laid to rest by Reverend Christopher Goble, the Vicar of St Mary’s Church.
Warwickshire Fire and Rescue Services Chief Fire Officer, Graeme Smith said:
“I was honoured to be part of this event. ‘laying up of colours’ is a long honoured tradition in the fire and rescue service. It serves as a mark of respect for all firefighters who have lost their lives in and is a fitting tribute to the Service as a whole.”
To conclude the ceremony, the Bishop of Warwick addressed the congregation expressing his personal thanks to the dedication firefighters play in our communities.
The Rt. Revd. John Stroyan, Bishop of Warwick said:
“It was a privilege to take part in this service. As their name expresses, the fire service personnel exist to rescue and to serve. They do that no matter what and no matter what the cost to them. On Sunday we paid tribute to the selflessness, sacrifice and service we see in the Fire and Rescue Service and gave thanks to God for them. We also recognised and honoured those who have made the ultimate sacrifice of their own lives.”

We often get asked about the story behind our name — 12 Stones Coffee Company. About 5 years ago, we began to plan a coffeehouse with a group of friends in the small town we were living in at the time. We would get together almost every Friday night to talk about the business plan and to pray. We all happened to be in the same intensive Bible study and had just finished the book of Joshua. It was my husband that suggested the name 12 Stones Coffee, inspired by the 12 stones of remembrance from Joshua Chapter 4.
Joshua chapters 3-4 tell the whole story, but here’s the summation: God parted the waters of the Jordan River during flood stage, so that the Israelites could finally cross over into the Promised Land (Canaan). An important note of great significance — God wouldn’t part the waters until the Israelite priests, who were leading the way, took a step of faith and began to walk into the water. Once the priests walked in, God parted the river and the Israelites were able to cross over on dry land. When they had all crossed, God instructed Joshua to command a man from each of the 12 tribes to take 12 stones out of the midst of the Jordan from the place where the priests’ feet stood firm. They were to build a stone memorial, so that when generations to come asked what the stones signified, the story of God’s power and faithfulness would be remembered and shared.
Those 12 stones are a reminder of God’s faithfulness, fulfilled promises, and Him going before us to remove any obstacles that remain on the path to the purpose He has put before us. About a year after that meeting where we chose the name, our lives would change unexpectedly, and my husband and I soon found ourselves living in Bismarck for his job. However, it was still part of the plan for the two of us to open 12 Stones Coffee.
For us, the opening of 12 Stones Coffee Company is truly a story of God’s faithfulness and preparing the way. We’ve traveled hills and valleys, navigated obstacles and overcome fear & doubt along the way. We’re still on the journey and encouraged often by those 12 stones of remembrance. And, as we head into the New Year, we’re excited to continue to see our vision of faith unfold as we purpose to spread the love & hope of Jesus, serve outstanding coffee, and foster a place of true community.
Until next time, here’s to another day of great coffee and inspiring conversations at 12 Stones Coffee.


Thank-you Gaglardi families for the privilege of serving you these past years as PAC President. As I step down, I’m excited to announce the passing of the PAC President baton to Sarah Dyjur and Janneke Lavertu who will serve in a shared capacity for the period until Aug. 31, 2023. They will be a wonderful addition to our PAC team and please take every opportunity to welcome them!! Thank you so much, ladies, for your willingness to serve - you won’t regret it.
Also, my deepest thanks to the school administration for the beautiful flowers, your kind words, and for the opportunity to work alongside you all. I have enjoyed the journey. Galgardi is a wonderful place to be.
Blessings! I look forward to what the Lord has for us in the coming days ahead.


Over the years, I’ve heard or read a question that always provokes my heart and mind. It goes something like this: “If you were arrested by an anti-Christian government, would there be enough evidence to convict you?”
Just to be clear: I’m not especially brave, am seldom accused of great nobility and have no desire to die a martyr. (You don’t have to be burned at the stake to get into heaven, or so I’ve been told.)
Just the same, I think real persecution is approaching and I want to remove any doubt by providing future prosecutors/persecutors all the evidence against me that they will need. Here are a few of the things I believe:
- Everybody ought to obey all 10 of the 10 Commandments.
- St John Paul II got it right with his Theology of the Body.
- The world would be a better place if everyone followed the teachings in the Catechism of the Catholic Church.
- Every human being deserves compassion and respect, but that doesn’t mean you accept everything they do or approve of everything they believe.
- Marriage is between one man and one woman.
- There are only two legitimate genders of human being: male and female.
- Christianity is a religion of peace; Islam is a religion of violence.
- Abortion is murder.
- Boys should use the boys’ bathroom; girls should use the girls’ bathroom.
- I want my priest to decide when I’m dead, not a government bureaucrat.
I would go on…but I figure this is enough. I hear the heavy boots of the thought police approaching.


My Saint My Hero was founded on the belief that God is real, prayer works and love heals. Pieces are wearable blessings that remind us we are loved. Inspired by God to help transform lives and make the world a better place. Crafted in love and prayer, our wearable blessings empower women through meaningful work. Our prayer is that these pieces help awaken souls to live in the presence of God and know: I AM true, I AM good, I AM beautiful, I AM BLESSED. *Styles and colors may vary in our showroom.


Dating the book of job
In Old Testament times, authors sometimes referred to themselves in the third person, so Job’s authorship is a strong possibility. This wealthy landowner and father is one of the best-known biblical heroes.
But we know little more than that he was stripped of everything, without warning, and that his faith was severely tested.
Commentary: While the canon of scripture is indeed inspired, the placement of the books is not.
The order of the Hebrew Bible, for example, is somewhat different from the order you are no doubt familiar with (e.g., 1&2 Chronicles are the very last books, with Daniel placed along with Ezra and Nehemiah just before them). Still, the first five books ("of Moses") are universally first in the OT just like the gospels are in the NT, with the book of Revelation universally last.
Several suggestions have been put forth as plausible authors: Job himself, who could have best recalled his own words; Elihu, the fourth friend who spoke toward the end of the story; various biblical writers and leaders; or many editors who compiled the material over the years.
While there is no definitive answer, it was most likely an eyewitness who recorded the detailed and lengthy conversations found in the book.
According to Job , Job lived an additional 140 years after his tragedies occurred, perhaps to around 210 years total.
Here are a few salient things that we do know more or less for certain: the Pentateuch was written first (by Moses, ca. C., I would say), and Revelation was written last (by John, ca. D., I would say; see the link), so that our English Bible order of the very first and last parts of the Bible is indeed chronological.


Bible Stories - Summaries
Creation: Adam and Eve - Creation (Genesis 1-3)
McKenzie & LeeAnna Genesis 1-3
God created the world in seven days. In this time He created all of nature, the plants, and the animals. He also created man on the sixth day. This first man was named Adam. God also created Adam’s wife named Eve. Adam and Eve were accustomed to a close relationship with God. God would visit them regularly. But God had also given them one simple rule to obey. That was that they could not eat from a tree called the Tree of the Knowledge of Good and Evil. If they ate from that tree their punishment would be death. Eve was tempted by Satan to eat the fruit from that tree. She thought it tasted very good and she was surprised that she did not die immediately. She convinced Adam that he too should try the fruit. As soon as he did, they both knew they had done wrong and that God would punish them. Their physical death was not an immediate one, but their relationship with God was forever changed. They slowly died after enduring years of punishment for their sin. The Bible says that because of their sin death has passed upon all mankind; which is why we are in need of a Savior.
Noah and the Ark - Noah’s Arc (Genesis 6-8)
Hannah & Matthew Genesis 6-8
Because of the wickedness of men, God chose to destroy the world through a flood. God sought for a man who feared Him and would obey even though he did not understand all that would take place. That is called faith. Through a period of more than 100 years Noah and his sons built a boat large enough to house a few of many of the animals on the planet. Noah also prepared the boat large enough that if anyone wanted to join them and be saved from the flood they were welcome to enter the boat. Sadly, only Noah’s family and the animals were on the boat when the rain started. God brought the animals to Noah and then the rains came. It rained 40 days and nights. It was a global flood that destroyed all the animals and people that were not on the boat. After the flood was over God gave Noah the sign of the rainbow as a promise that He would never destroy the earth again with a flood of water.
Abraham, Sarah & Hagar – Diego & Rebecca
Sarah was the wife of Abraham. Hagar was the servant of Sarah. God had promised Abraham many descendants, but, ten years after the promise, Sarah was still unable to have children, and they were both on the verge of becoming too old to have children at all. Sarah chose to give her servant Hagar to Abraham, in accordance with the custom of day, so that Sarah could have a child through her (Genesis 16:2). Hagar conceived, and Sarah despised her. Sarah began to deal harshly with her, and Hagar fled to the desert to escape the resentment of her mistress. The angel of the Lord met Hagar in the wilderness, commanding her to return to Abraham and Sarah. The angel relayed a promise from God: “I will surely multiply your offspring so that they cannot be numbered for multitude” (Genesis 16:10). The angel also predicted Ishmael’s name and character (Genesis 16:11-12). Later, God fulfilled His promise to Abraham and Sarah. Sarah gave birth to a son named Isaac (Genesis 21). Ishmael would have been about 14 years old at the time of Isaac’s birth. Abraham sent Hagar and Ishmael away after Isaac was weaned (around age 2-3, making Ishmael approximately 16), according to God’s command. At that time, God repeated His promise that Ishmael would father a great nation. Hagar was in the desert and near death when the angel of God called to her, saying, “What troubles you, Hagar? Fear not, for God has heard the voice of the boy where he is. Up! Lift up the boy, and hold him fast with your hand, for I will make him into a great nation” (Genesis 21:17-18). Ishmael and his mother lived in the wilderness of Paran, where he became an expert with a bow and later took an Egyptian wife (Genesis 21:20-21). He is seen once again in Scripture when he returned to help bury his father Abraham (Genesis 25:7-10). Ishmael, the son of a bondservant, became the father of 12 sons who were called princes. He lived to 137 years of age. Sarah died at the age of 127 in Hebron, where she was buried (Genesis 23:1-2).
Many observations can be made regarding the story of Sarah and Hagar. First, God can and often does work through ways that appear unlikely from a human perspective. Abraham miraculously became a father at age 86 and again at age 99. Isaac’s mother, Sarah, was barren. God’s promise to Abraham did not depend on human strength, and with God nothing is impossible (Luke 1:37). God used a seemingly impossible situation to make Abraham the father of the Jewish people, just as He had predicted. It is clear from this story that God works despite misguided human effort. Sarah had no business offering her servant to Abraham, and Abraham had no business sleeping with Hagar. And Sarah was wrong to mistreat her servant as she did. Yet God worked through these situations. Hagar was blessed, and Abraham and Sarah were still the recipients of the promise. God’s mercy is great, and His sovereign will is accomplished regardless of human frailty. This unlikely family story is one readers would expect to end badly. Yet God kept His promise; Isaac became the son of promise through whom the tribes of Israel would arise. Hagar’s son, Ishmael, also became a great leader. Regardless of how a situation looks from a human perspective, God continues to work both to accomplish His will and to fulfill His promises. In Galatians 4, Paul uses the story of Sarah and Hagar to illustrate the results of two different covenants: the New Covenant, based on grace; and the Old Covenant, based on the Law. In Paul’s analogy, believers in Christ are like the child born of Sarah—free, the result of God’s promise. Those who try to earn their salvation by their own works are like the child born of Hagar—a slave, the result of human effort.
The First Passover – Katherine, Mattia, Aisha
The Passover Story in a Nutshell After many decades of slavery to the Egyptian pharaohs, during which time the Israelites were subjected to backbreaking labor and unbearable horrors, G d saw the people’s distress and sent Moses to Pharaoh with a message: “Send forth My people, so that they may serve Me.” But despite numerous warnings, Pharaoh refused to heed G d’s command. G d then sent upon Egypt ten devastating plagues, afflicting them and destroying everything from their livestock to their crops. At the stroke of midnight of 15 Nissan in the year 2448 from creation (1313 BCE), G d visited the last of the ten plagues on the Egyptians, killing all their firstborn. While doing so, G d spared the children of Israel, “passing over” their homes—hence the name of the holiday. Pharaoh’s resistance was broken, and he virtually chased his former slaves out of the land. The Israelites left in such a hurry, in fact, that the bread they baked as provisions for the way did not have time to rise. Six hundred thousand adult males, plus many more women and children, left Egypt on that day and began the trek to Mount Sinai and their birth as G d’s chosen people.
Exodus from Egypt – Jamie & Tyler
The book of Exodus consists mainly of two genres, Narrative History and Laws. It was written by Moses about 1450-1410 B.C. The key personalities include Moses, Miriam, Pharaoh, Pharaoh’s daughter, Aaron, and Joshua. It was written to record the events of Israel’s deliverance from slavery in Egypt. It describes the events to the reader in chronological order and also lists the Laws that God has given to the Israelites, in order to guide them in their relationship with Him. • Chapters 1-7 of Exodus, introduce Moses and the Israelites in bondage in Egypt. This setting is approximately 400 years after Joseph and his families were living in Goshen at the end of Genesis. God protects baby Moses and spares his life, as Moses is adopted by Pharaoh’s daughter and is raised as an Egyptian. God calls Moses with a special revelation, through a burning bush to release His people from slavery in Egypt. Moses obeys and with his brother Aaron, confronts Pharaoh to let God’s people go free, but Pharaoh ignores the warning.
• In Chapters 7-13, Moses through the power of God releases 10 plagues of different sorts on the land of Egypt which included, turning all the water to blood, plagues of insects, boils, and hail. Finally, the death of every first-born son, this included the death of Pharaoh’s eldest who would someday inherit the kingdom of Egypt. However, the Israelites obeyed God and followed the ordinance of the Passover and God spared them.
•Chapters 14-18 describe the Exodus or “Exit” from Egypt. Pharaoh can no longer endure the plagues that God poured on Egypt and himself and allows them to leave. Moses and the Israelites escape making it to the Red Sea. Shortly after, Pharaoh changes his mind and pursues them, but God destroys his army with the sea.
• Chapters 19-24, Moses presents all of the Laws to all the people at Mt. Sinai as God has commanded.
• From chapters 25-40, Moses gives the Israelites the tabernacle, priest and worship instructions.
Joshua and the Battle of Jericho - (Joshua 5-6) Carson & Jacob
After the great leader Moses died, Israel was lead by the young man Joshua. His first order of business was to take the nation into their new home—the Promised Land. Their first challenge was to take over the city of Jericho. This was a walled city that was heavily fortified. God told Joshua that they would be able to destroy the city, but they had to do it in God’s way. God’s plan was certainly different than any of the Israelites had heard before. They were to take the city not by ramming the walls to the ground, but by walking around the city and trusting God. They walked around Jericho once a day for six days. On the seventh day, they walked around the city seven times. After doing this, they blew trumpets, shouted and watched the city walls come crashing down.
The Call of Samuel (Samuel 3:1-14) Paolina & Yuna
• One night, while Samuel gently slumbers, he hears a voice calling his name. Rising from his bed, Samuel goes to see Eli asking if he was called. • Eli, doing no such thing, sends him back to bed. • Later that night, Samuel hears his name again and returns to Eli. • Again, Eli sends him packing off to bed. • As Samuel dozes again, he hears his name being called. • Eli, now invested, tells Samuel to answer back because it's God calling his name (1-9). • God relays the misery that will plague Eli's house. • In the morning, Samuel hesitates to tell Eli the news because seriously, who wants to be the messenger of "your whole family is going to die!"? • After some prompting, Samuel spills the beans, but Eli simply says God's will is not for anyone to change. Eli has nerves of steel (before steel was invented). • After this, Samuel is decreed a true prophet of God (10-21).
David and Goliath - David & Goliath (1 Samuel 17) Michael & Eddie
Probably the most recognized story in the Bible. David, a young boy of around 12 to 17 years of age, fought and killed the Philistine champion Goliath. The nation of Israel was at war with the Philistines. They were at a critical time in their fight. Neither army was advancing. However, the Philistines had a giant on their side that was intimidating the Hebrew army. David, through orders from his father, went to the battlefield to carry supplies to his brothers and the army. While he was there he heard the giant denying the God of the Israelites. David boldly volunteered to fight the giant. Through God’s help, a sling and faith in his Master, David slew Goliath and Israel won the victory.
Elijah And The Prophets of Baal - God vs. Baal (1 Kings 18: 25) Richard & Claudio
The photograph to the left is of a statue near Mount Carmel in Israel, commemorating the victory of the great prophet Elijah over the prophets of Baal (1 Kings 18:17-40). After a drought of three years, Elijah presented himself to Ahab, the king of Israel, with the promise that the Lord would provide rain. Elijah then challenged 450 prophets of Baal and 400 prophets of Asherah to a contest on Mount Carmel. "Elijah came to all the people, and said, 'How long will you falter between two opinions? If the Lord is God, follow Him; but if Baal, follow him.' But the people answered him not a word.'" (1 Kings 18:21). Each side made sacrifices to their God without building a fire. The lighting of the fire was to be performed by the strongest god, and would thus reveal Jehovah as the true God. Baal was silent. Elijah mocked the prophets of Baal and said, "Cry aloud, for he is a god; either he is meditating, or he is busy, or he is on a journey, or perhaps he is sleeping and must be awakened" (1 Kings 18:27). Elijah poured a large amount of water over his sacrifice and asked Jehovah to reveal Himself by consuming the sacrifice. "Then the fire of the Lord fell and consumed the burnt sacrifice, and the wood and the stones and the dust, and it licked up the water that was in the trench" (1 Kings 18:38). When the people saw the clear victory of Jehovah, they fell on their faces and said, "The Lord, He is God! The Lord, He is God!" Elijah then commanded the people to seize the prophets of Baal and to not let one of them escape. The prophets of Baal were then seized and "Elijah brought them down to the Brook Kishon and executed them there" (1 Kings 18:40). God then sent the rain he had promised and the drought ended (1 Kings 18:41-46).
Fiery Furnace - (Daniel 3) Ricky, Nathan & Reka
Three young men named Shadrach, Meschach and Abednego were taken from their homes in Israel when they were children. They, along with Daniel, became important men in Babylon. The king of Babylon had created a huge statue as an idol. This was to be used for people to worship the king. He had made a law that said that all who did not bow down and worship the idol would be thrown into a furnace of fire. Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego had become governors in the kingdom. But they did not allow their position to keep them from obeying God. They refused to bow down to the idol. As a result they were put into the fiery furnace. However, they did not burn up and die. In fact, the Bible says they were walking around in the furnace. And, there was a fourth person in the fire with them. The king said that it appeared to be the Son of God! They were brought out of the furnace and the king repented of his pride and worshiped God. At least, for a short time.
Daniel in the Lion’s Den - (Daniel 6) Jordyn, Noor, Paryse
Daniel was taken from his home country of Israel when he was a young boy (along with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego). He grew up in Babylon and lived through the rise and fall of several kings. Daniel maintained a powerful position through the different kingdoms. When he was an old man a group of other powerful men wanted to get him out of their way so that they could have his position. They convinced the king, who happened to like Daniel greatly, to pass a law that said those who were caught worshiping anyone or anything other than the king would be thrown into a den of lions. These men knew that Daniel prayed publicly several times a day. The king was flattered that the wicked men thought highly enough of him to make him an object of worship. He signed the law not thinking about his friend Daniel and his habit of daily prayer. Daniel was caught praying. The law said he must be thrown in with the lions. Daniel trusted God and God protected him. The next day, to the king’s relief, Daniel was still alive. The king subsequently had the men who thought up the law also thrown into the lion’s den. The Bible says they were eaten by the lions before they could even hit the ground of the pit.
Jonah and the Whale - (Jonah 1-4) Jackie & Joy Brandon Jonah 1-4
The sailors threw Jonah overboard after he convinced them that this was the only way to appease God. Jonah was a prophet of God who was told to go to the city of Nineveh and preach God’s message. Jonah did not like the people in Nineveh and decided to ignore the call of God to go there. Jonah got on a boat and sailed the opposite direction. After a great storm came up, the sailors determined that someone on the boat had angered a god. Jonah admitted that it was his fault that they were caught in the storm. The sailors threw Jonah overboard after he convinced them that this was the only way to appease God. When Jonah landed in the water he was surprised to be swallowed by a great fish. He spent three days and nights in the belly of the whale. He prayed and told God that he would finally obey and go to Nineveh to preach. The whale spit Jonah up onto the beach and Jonah ran to the city to deliver God’s message. To his surprise, the people repented of their sins and accepted the message of God. Unfortunately, this made Jonah sad and the story ends with Jonah angry with God because God did not destroy the people of the city.

The Office Season 7 Recap: Dunder Mifflin Holy Germ War
The Office returned last night with its seventh episode entitled “Christening.”
Last night The Office Season 7 returned with its holy filled episode Christening. We would follow Pam (Jenna Fischer) and Jim (John Krasinski) as they attend church to get their baby Christened. Michael Scott (Steve Carell), being the kind soul that he is, invites the entire staff of Dunder Mifflin.
Before we head to church though, let’s take recap the meeting that is taking place back at the Dunder Mifflin offices. Pam is hosting a Sabre Hygiene Day to talk about germs in The Office. Dwight (Rainn Wilson) is completely opposed to her proposal of hand sanitizing stations around the office. He goes on to tell everyone that exposing yourself to germs is the best way to make you stronger. Taking his advice everyone in the office begins to sneeze directly on Dwight.
Now let’s head to church where baby Cici is getting christened. Michael is bummed out when he has to admit that he is not the godfather of the baby. The “Christening” goes off without a hitch (despite the baby making a mess in her all white outfit) and then chaos ensues. The congregation is told that Jim and Pam will be hosting a reception with food and drink for all.
Completely unprepared, the crowd of church-goers begins to get angry when there is not enough food to go around. Meanwhile, Michael loves the demeanour of all of the people at the church. He is so happy at how nice everyone is that he decides to go with the youth group to Mexico for 3 months.
The Episode of The Office Season 7 last night ends with Michael and Andy (Ed Helms) on the bus with the youth ministry. Realizing they have made a huge mistake, they demand to be let off the bus.
All in all, it was yet another funny episode of The Office. Dwight trying to sell paper to everyone at church was pretty amusing and Jim losing the baby (thought Angela stole it) was classic. Hopefully the rest of the season will deliver as much laughter as last night’s episode did.
The Office will return next Thursday night at 9|8c on NBC.

You cannot save people. You can only love them.
I’ve tried to pray. Sadly, nothing got better. Maybe thing will, I dont know. Sometimes i feel like he doesnt love me, because he made me and is continuing to put me through all of this. I dont know why hes doing it, and its made me doubt my beliefs. LIke ‘How can God love me so much, like eveyrone says, but let me live like this. How can he let all of those people die evey day, hurt all of those people every day.’ I dont get it.
One of the hardest decisions to choose between is whether to give up on something you love, to throw away something you’ve invested so much time and effort in, or to keep holding onto it, as it slowly tears you apart.


If you are reading this, know that I am praying for you. I am praying for all the NICU moms out there. I’m praying for the mom who has a 28 weeker, the foster mom who is taking the drug addicted baby, the mom of multiples, and anyone and everyone in between those. Whatever your circumstance know that I am praying for all the NICU moms (and dads) and all of the babies who are staying in the NICU.
I wrote this prayer for NICU moms because I was you once. I sat there in that tiny room wondering if my son would be OK. There was chance he could have had permanent brain damage or life long complications. Leaving the hospital without your new baby is the worst feeling in the world. I can feel your heart breaking and tears coming down your face just as mine did. You may feel guilty or bad. You may feel like you did something wrong.
I see you washing your hands up to your elbows. Momma, I see you bringing books to read your baby. I see you pulling your pumped milk out of your bag to give to the NICU nurses. I see you and I know how you feel. You stay as long as you physically can and take turns with your spouse so that someone is always with your baby in the NICU. I know how tired you are at night but how worried you feel about your baby because he or she isn’t home with you.
When you’re scared
You may be scared but know that God is with you.
Be strong and courageous. Do not be afraid or terrified because of them, for the Lord your God goes with you; he will never leave you nor forsake you. – Deuteronomy 31:6
When you’re alone
You may feel alone but know that God is with you.
I sought the Lord, and he answered me; he delivered me from all my fears. – Psalms 34:4
When you’re anxious
You may be anxious but know that God will give you peace.
Peace I leave with you; my peace I give you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled and do not be afraid. – John 14:27
When you’re confused
You may feel confused but know that God can hear your prayers.
Cast your cares on the Lord and he will sustain you; he will never let the righteous be shaken. – Psalms 55:22
This season is hard
This is a season, momma. It is a trying and tiring season but know that babies are one of God’s biggest gifts and blessings.
Every good and perfect gift is from above, coming down from the Father of the heavenly lights, who does not change like shifting shadows. – James 1:17
If you need prayer, you can always send me a prayer request. I read and pray over each and every one I receive and I would love to pray for you.
