2 Kings 

Elijah 


1. Who was Eljiah?

Most people when they think of Elijah they think of that guy who went up in the really strong wind right? but He was more than that. He was humble and he was serving God doing what he was made for. He didn't have any family and He prayed often, once he prayed for it not ro rain for 3 years and it didn't. He was faithful and loyal. Here is his story.

It all started with a messenger. King Ahab sent a messenger to all the prophets and brought them to Mount Carmel. (1 Kings Chapter 20) This is when Elijah enters the picture, he tells the people of Baal to bring two ox and offer them as a scarfice and see if their god will answer their prayers. Well, their god didn't and but Elijah told them to pray all eveing and see what happens. But nobody paid attention. (1 Kings 18 :22) So, Elijah tells the people he'll build a trough and fill it with water and watch the burnt offering be set on fire by God as a result of the fire the people saw God was real. (1 Kings 18:35-38)

Elijah wasn't done yet, he confronted King Ahab and Jazreel because they killed the Prophets by sword (1 Kings 19:1) and as a result Jazreel sent a messnger and threatned to kill him and he fled in thw wilderness and hid out until an angel came to him and told him to eat and drink and go on his way, to the mountain, sudddenly there was a earthquake and and a soft voice told Elijah to go the the wilderness of Dasmacus and annoit king Hazael (1 Kings 19:1) King Ahab dies.

After King Ahab's death, the people of Moab rebelled and Elijah forced out the two captians and Elijah meets his sucessor Elisha they walk on the the spot. The place where the story gets really good. There was fire between them, suddenly Elijah is taken up in the whirlwind and goes up to heaven. Leaving Elisha stand there crying. Elijah did was he was called to do. (2 Kings 1:1)

Well done faithful servant.

Colleen Coble Interview

 Megan Jones  February 13th, 2023  Colleen Coble Interview  1.  Why did you want to write suspense? "I appreciate it when all the secrets of the past come back to haunt characters. I love the puzzle of a murder mystery and the trill of a heroine in danger. Annie is more than capable of becoming the ultimate overcoming heroine." 2. What inspired to want to write? "My writing process always starts with setting- weird I know. But I've found researching the setting springboards me to plot points and character details. I knew I wanted to set the series in Michigan's Upper Peninsula My readers are passionate about the Rock Harbor series so I wanted to have,  Annie  a part of that community. And I always like my main character to have an unusual profession. In researching I ran across law enforcement rangers or LEOs as they are called. The profession resonated with me because I could have a lot of wilderness scenes and interesting  situations." 3. A lot of your cha
