" Now the LORD provided a huge fish to swallow Jonah, and Jonah was in the belly of the fish for three days and three nights. " " Jonah prayed to the LORD his God from inside the fish. He said, "I cried out to the LORD in my great trouble, and he answered me. I called to you from the land of the dead, and LORD, you heard me! " On August 23rd, 2025, a Mennonite woman named Ruth Miller drowned her four-year-old son in Atwood Lake during a weekend getaway for her birthday. Her husband, Marcus Miller, is said to have walked into the same lake to meet the same fate. Ruth attempted to drown all of her children, a 15-year-old daughter and 18-year-old twin boys, by driving a golf cart into the water with them aboard. However, the stronger children were able to survive. When Ruth was confronted, as seen on body cam footage from Law and Crime Network, she reassured the police that God loves them and that God loves us all.

And, through the marvels of the universe, during this event blue light is filtered out (thanks to the Earth’s atmosphere), creating a blood-red, sometimes orange-tinged, full moon. This occur...
