John chapter 4 says that it was “necessary for Jesus to go through Samaria”. Why was it necessary? This was not the usual route‚ but scripture says it was necessary to go thru Samaria.

This story shows us that God isn’t asking us to take the safe routes and detour the darkness. God’s Glory thrives where the darkness resides‚ and Jesus following Gods leading into Samaria

Entry II: Day 1 Today’s events have left me thinking a bit. After we got back from exploring the island‚ Ralph assembled another meeting to spread our new discoveries. We realized everyone would not stop talking at once‚ so Ralph decided that whoever holds the conch has the right to talk and can only be interrupted by Ralph himself. Great idea at first‚ until that fat‚ useless oaf Piggy took it. He wouldn’t stop worrying and whining about getting rescued. Ralph said it himself‚ his dad’s a navy

Our plan seems foolproof but‚ if we should fail‚ I will surely

Dear Journal‚ I am stranded on a desert island with a group of rude and immature boys‚ and no responsible human being knows I am here. The atmosphere of the island is not very good for my asthma. It is hot and humid‚ so it’s hard to breathe‚ and I can’t even go swimming to cool off‚ because my Auntie says I can’t on account of my asthma. The first boy I met on this island was Ralph‚ who seems completely disinterested in everything I say. The only thing that caught his interest was when I told

Medieval journal Pt 1 I was awoken in the middle of the night. Ahmed rushed us out of our cots into the armory where we donned our armor and took our weapons. I was stationed in Jerusalem defending our holy city from the Christian invaders. I stood on the walls next to my brothers in arms. Our torches extinguished to see the enemy clearer. I felt the familiar tug of a full quiver on my waist‚ my recurve bow held in my right hand. Night after night we performed these drills waiting on the walls til
