Enter the Whale..., er Fish

Well, off we go with Jonah. Having been commanded by God to go to Nineveh, a city in present-day Iraq that was probably more important as a metaphorical place of sin and wickedness than as an actual destination, Jonah sets sail. The weather started getting rough; the tiny ship is tossed. If not for the courage of the fearless crew, all would be lost. But they draw lots to see whose "fault" the tempest is and Jonah quickly finds himsefl overboard.

What would you do in such a situation? You can find out by going here to this site where you can play the on-line Jonah-and-the-Whale [sic] game. Now who ever said that the internet couldn't be a useful tool to deepen your faith? (Not as much fun as a pirated copy of Galaga, but then that would probably be sinful to play.)

Always a humble figure, your Daily Officer likes to point out other blogs that might even be more instructive than his. Therefore here is a link to Jonah's own (somewhat waterlogged) blog. Enjoy.
