“Then the Lord spoke to the fish, and it vomited Jonah out onto the dry land.” (Jonah 2:10)
Chapter one ended with Jonah running from God and being swallowed by a large fish. Now in chapter two, Jonah has been in the fish three days and three nights. Chapter two is Jonah’s prayer to God, which is really a psalm of thanksgiving. Whether Jonah prayed this prayer as he slid down the throat of the fish, or if he waited until he came to his senses, isn’t the point; the point is that Jonah began to pray.

From the Editor’s Desk
Last week’s edition of the Advocate Tribune had a big error, that led to many a message left. Somehow all five of us that look over the pages before printing somehow missed that a story from Page one was missing the jump on the inside pages. I can’t explain how all of us missed that, but we did. Human error happens. Our deepest apologies for that.
Letter to the Editor
To the editor: The “Upper Sioux State Park”, is enjoyed by many Granite Falls area residents and considered sacred by the Lakota People, as a site of prayer, ceremony, and the massacre of their ancestors.
