Isaiah 32:2
“And a man shall be as an hiding place from the wind, and a covert from the tempest; as rivers of water in a dry place, as the shadow of a great rock in a weary land.”
 
 

 
 

"The omnipresent Sitka fog had once more descended upon the 𝐸𝑣𝑒𝑛𝑖𝑛𝑔 𝑆𝑡𝑎𝑟; this time so heavily that even the tips of the two masts were invisible from the deck, so Corey and Kane assured the endangered slave: 'We'll probably be in this soup two more days. You're safe.' And to celebrate they broke out a bottle of good Jamaican rum, and there in Sitka Sound, protected by the volcano and the circle of unseen mountains, they reveled. When Raven-heart felt the fine dark liquid exciting his throat, he relaxed and told the Americans of the many pelts he had helped assemble for them, and they were so pleased by this intelligence that they in turn show him the goods that they had brought from Boston to enrich his Tlingits.
'These are the casks of rum,' Captain Corey said, indicating the eighteen barrels stowed in safety belowdecks, 'and what do you suppose these are?' Raven-heart, with a copper ring through the septum of his nose, studied the dozen squared-off rectangular wooden cases, and said: 'Me not know,' whereupon Crey ordered a sailor to draw the nails—'And save them'—from one of the lids, and there, nestled in oil-soaked rags, lay nine beautiful rifles, and below them, in similar ranks of nine, twenty-seven others. These twelve boxes, packed in orderly manner by the gunsmiths of Boston, contained four hundred and thirty-two first class long-barreled  rifles, and the kegs stowed behind had enough powder to last  two years, along with supplies of lead for bullets and molds in which to make them."~~~James A. Michener: ALASKA. Ch. 6 Lost Worlds

Prov.7:7
"And beheld among the simple ones, I discerned among the youths, a young man void of understanding,"



  “Men’s ideas root pretty far back” ~~~Clarence Darrow




Stegosaurus are often portrayed as lumbering plant eaters. But they were lethal fighters when necessary, according to paleontologists who recently uncovered evidence of a carnivorous Allosaurus who was mortally wounded in combat, 147 million years ago.




Patricia Campbell Hearst (born February 20, 1954), now known as Patricia Hearst-Shaw, is the granddaughter of American publishing magnate William Randolph Hearst; she became nationally known for events following her kidnapping. In 1974, while she was a 19-year-old student living in Berkeley, California, Hearst was abducted by a left-wing terrorist group known as the Symbionese Liberation Army. After being isolated and threatened with death, she became supportive of their cause, making propaganda announcements for them and taking part in illegal activities.Her conviction and long prison sentence were widely seen as unjust, but the procedural correctness of her trial was upheld by the courts. Hearst's sentence was commuted by President Jimmy Carter, and she was pardoned by President Bill Clinton.




Theodore Roosevelt (/ˈrzəvɛlt/ ROH-zə-velt;[a] October 27, 1858 – January 6, 1919), often referred to as Teddy or TR, was an American statesman, author, explorer, soldier, naturalist, and reformer who served as the 26th President of the United States, from 1901 to 1909. A leader of the Republican Party, he was a leading force of the Progressive Era. Born a sickly child with debilitating asthma, Roosevelt embraced a strenuous lifestyle and successfully regained his health. He integrated his exuberant personality, vast range of interests, and world-famous achievements into a "cowboy" persona defined by robust masculinity.
