FISH AND WHAT FOLLOWS

This one's for Josh: The Yankees have home field advantage, which means, of course, that they will be in Florida for three days and three nights, next Tuesday through Thursday. Hmmm.

More importantly, remember what happens to Jonah in chapter four: he is punished for being angry that Nineveh repented and thus escaped the destruction that he was originally sent to prophesy. Here's Jonah 4:6-8:

4:6 And the Lord God prepared a gourd, and made it to come up over Jonah, that it might be a shadow over his head, to deliver him from his evil. So Jonah was exceeding glad because of the gourd.

4:7 But God prepared a worm when the morning rose the next day, and it smote the gourd, that it withered.

4:8 And it came to pass, when the sun arose, that God prepared a vehement east wind; and the sun beat upon the head of Jonah, that he fainted, and requested for himself that he might die, and said: 'It is better for me to die than to live.'
