What I Didn't Say
Jonah--While I can relate to Jonah in many ways, there is one thing that I definitely would not have done that he did. When he ran away from the Lord, he took passage on a ship. That would have been the last thing I would have done. I'm not too keen on water (except for taking showers and drinking).
I recently ran across a quote that fit me quite well. It went something like this: "I have discovered that I scream the same whether I'm being attacked by a great white shark or a piece of seaweed touches my leg." I'm taking the metro.
