• It is pretty clear in the Bible story that the whale swallowing Jonah wasn't meant as a punishment from God, it was God saving him from drowning. So it was actually provision to give him a second chance. The whale itself was the start of Jonah's second chance.

• The farther we get from God, the more the world spirals out of control. My heart aches for America and its deceived people. The wonderful news is that our Lord is a God of mercy, and He responds to repentance. In Jonah's day, Nineveh was the lone world superpower-wealthy, unconcerned, and self-centered. When the Prophet Jonah finally traveled to Nineveh and proclaimed God's warning, people heard and repented. I believe the same thing can happen once again, this time in our nation. It's something I long for.

• Señor, haz que me parezca menos a Jonás y más a Jesús. Sálvame de ser el tipo de persona que se preocupa más por mi comodidad, mi reputación y mi éxito que por las personas a las que Tú me llamas a servir. Ayúdame a mantener todos mis sueños en Tu altar y a estar preparado en todo momento para responder con fe y obediencia a Tu llamada.

• Algunos sufrimientos se dan para castigar y corregir a una persona por patrones de vida erróneos (como en el caso de Jonás en peligro por la tormenta), algunos sufrimientos no se dan para corregir errores pasados sino para prevenir otros futuros (como en el caso de José vendido como esclavo), y algunos sufrimientos no tienen otro propósito que llevar a una persona a amar a Dios más ardientemente sólo por sí mismo y así descubrir la paz y la libertad definitivas.

• A large section of the idling classes of England get their incomes by believing that Jesus was born of a virgin and that Jonah swallowed a whale; and with the progress of science they were naturally finding this more and more difficult. A school of ingenious Bible-twisters arose, to invent symbolical and literary meanings for fairy tales, in order that people who no longer believed could continue with good conscience to collect the salaries of belief.

• Algunas personas consideran extraño y particularmente chocante que una mujer cuestione la absoluta corrección de la Biblia. Se supone que es capaz de ir por este mundo con los ojos cerrados y la boca lo suficientemente abierta como para tragarse a Jonás y el Jardín del Edén sin hacer una mueca irónica... De todos los seres humanos, una mujer debería desdeñar la Biblia en primer lugar.

• Las pantallas de televisión saturadas de anuncios promueven la idea utópica e infantil de que todos los problemas tienen soluciones rápidas, sencillas y tecnológicas. Hay que desterrar de la mente la noción ingenua pero tópica de que los anuncios tratan de productos. Tratan de productos en el mismo sentido en que la historia de Jonás trata de la anatomía de las ballenas.

• Between now and when we graduate next year there are at least ten weeks' holiday and five random public holidays. There's email and if you manage to get down to the town, there's text messaging and mobile phone calls. If not, the five minutes you get to speak to me on your communal phone is better than nothing. There are the chess nerds who want to invite you to our school for the chess comp next March and there's this town in the middle, planned by Walter Burley Griffin, where we can meet up and protest against our government's refusal to sign the Kyoto treaty." -Jonah Griggs
