"The Wedding at Cana 
Commentary"
John Chapter 2 verse 1 
The week-long opening of Jesus's Ministry is finished and he is likely taking a small break to attend a wedding in Cana. A small village a few miles north of Nazareth in Galilee. "The wedding festivities lasted a week and included a supper. Jesus came with his mother and disciples so the bride and groom may have been close friends." At some point they ran out of wine. The family could have been sued. "They have no more wine, "Jesus was a village carpenter and resourceful. Joseph was older and passed and Mary had learned to depend on Jesus for help." "Jesus reaction is meant with lobe and no disrespect. He didn't want to get involved "Because my hour has not come, yet." The hour refers to the passion and the events at 8:20, Jesus is reluctant to begin the series of events that would cumlate on the cross. He hoped for a brief hiatus to enjoy the wedding with his disciples. A double miracle took place 1st, unclean was made clean and 2 The water was changed into wine."

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
