Greetings,
Sometimes a theme or a common thread ties our news briefs together. This edition is a bit different, but I did notice some strange reversals and surprising stories popping up in many sources.
Larger-than-life figures have fallen in Bangladesh. Scroll through these images (The Guardian) and consider their significance when you read about South Asia, the heart of the unreached world (INcontext).
Another battle is taking place on Mexico’s Yucatan Peninsula, where people are fighting over a statue of Poseidon, the Greek god of the sea, and whether that god has a right to the realm of Chaac, the Mayan god of rain (Religion News Service).
Join me in praying for more to turn their eyes to the one who controls not just the seas, rain, or rivers but all the cosmos. Habakkuk wrote of him: “For the earth will be filled with the knowledge of the glory of the Lord as the waters cover the sea.”
Amen and maranatha!
Pat
