One of my favorite books of the Old Testament is Jonah. It’s concept and meaning had initially always read a bit fantasy like to me. It reminds me of a vivid scene from the story “Pinocchio” especially when Jonah finds himself stuck inside the whale! I realized that I hadn’t given much credit to it, nor had I ever really gone beneath the surface with this one until it came back around in recent liturgical readings for the past few weeks. Is it just about avoiding what God has asked me to do, or is there a deeper hidden meaning to this story about to be revealed? I can relate…
