When God remembers our sins against us, he designs to teach us to remember them against ourselves, and to repent of them. When God removes our comforts from us, he remembers our sins against us, perhaps the sins of our youth, though long since past. The child being dead, the mother spake to the prophet, rather to give vent to her sorrow, than in hope of relief. Verses 17-24 Neither faith nor obedience shut out afflictions and death. It is promised to those who trust in God, that they shall not be ashamed in evil time in days of famine they shall be satisfied. To have food from God's special favour, and in such good company as Elijah, made it more than doubly sweet. One poor meal's meat this poor widow gave the prophet in recompence of it, she and her son did eat above two years, in a time of famine. ![]() Happy are all who can thus, against hope, believe and obey in hope. Surely the increase of this widow's faith, so as to enable her thus readily to deny herself, and to depend upon the Divine promise, was as great a miracle in the kingdom of grace, as the increase of her meal and oil in the kingdom of providence. Those who can venture upon the promise of God, will make no difficulty to expose and empty themselves in his service, by giving him his part first. She took the prophet's word, that she should not lose by it. O woman, great was thy faith one has not found the like, no not in Israel. It is God's way, and it is his glory, to make use of, and put honour upon, the weak and foolish things of the world. The person appointed to entertain Elijah is not one of the rich or great men of Sidon but a poor widow woman, in want, and desolate, is made both able and willing to sustain him. Jezebel was Elijah's greatest enemy yet, to show her how powerless was her malice, God will find a hiding-place for him even in her own country. Verses 8-16 Many widows were in Israel in the days of Elias, and some, it is likely, would have bidden him welcome to their houses yet he is sent to honour and bless with his presence a city of Sidon, a Gentile city, and so becomes the first prophet of the Gentiles. But there is a river which makes glad the city of God, that never runs dry, a well of water that springs up to eternal life. If the heavens fail, the earth fails of course such are all our creature-comforts: we lose them when we most need them, like brooks in summer. The natural supply of water, which came by common providence, failed but the miraculous supply of food, made sure to him by promise, failed not. Elijah seems to have continued thus above a year. God could have sent angels to minister to him but he chose to show that he can serve his own purposes by the meanest creatures, as effectually as by the mightiest. Let those who have but from hand to mouth, learn to live upon Providence, and trust it for the bread of the day, in the day. ![]() The ravens were appointed to bring him meat, and did so. ![]() If Providence calls us to solitude and retirement, it becomes us to go: when we cannot be useful, we must be patient and when we cannot work for God, we must sit still quietly for him. Elijah let Ahab know that God was displeased with the idolaters, and would chastise them by the want of rain, which it was not in the power of the gods they served to bestow. The Spirit of the Lord knows how to fit men for the occasions. The times were fit for an Elijah an Elijah was fit for them. Verses 1-7 God wonderfully suits men to the work he designs them for. (8-16) Elijah raises the widow's son to life. ![]() Here’s a list of everything notable I found today, excluding things like trash, algae, and coal. In fact, the only reason they didn’t was because my inventory filled up before the end of the day and I had to throw some back. Can’t go wrong there.įishing profits almost broke 1,000g. Now I am working on a save that I am only fishing in Spring, Year 1 to see how. Patch 1.4 Min/Max Detailed Comprehensive Guide - Spring Year 1 - Absolutely NO Mods, Glitches, or Cheats. I had to go with Tiller though, as I knew for sure it would start providing value right away, with still more parsnips to ship and a big batch of cauliflower and melons coming up.Īnd by right away, I mean at the very next screen! Each parsnip is immediately worth 3, 4, or 5 more gold depending on quality.

I wish I at least had the chicken coop before having to make this decision – what if I love animal husbandry and I don’t want to do much farming anymore? spring season, which usually will take 28 days to grow up. There’s an obvious choice here given that I’ve sold exactly zero animal products so far and have yet to even obtain any animals besides a dog. I’m hoping to find some new fish I haven’t caught before, so hopefully this will make them more likely to bite. As an added bonus, I got two potatoes out of it. The potato I planted with Speed-Gro fertilizer is ready for harvest one day before all the rest – the experiment was a success! Tomorrow I think I’ll try planting a parsnip here. That’s a relief, but still a little concerning that they may not be mature in time. ![]() You can see above that the Spring Seeds have finally sprouted on the third day. I’m going to try a few different fishing spots and see how well I can do. I’ve learned a couple new tips recently – first that I might catch different fish when it’s raining, and second that different fish live at different distances from the shore. As a reminder, the other three are also available in Summer, making it the ideal time to complete this bundle and check it off your list. Since Karl has been spending 6 hours a day farming lately, this rain essentially gave him the whole day off, and it’s on the same day that I also get a holiday away from work.Īfter shipping and replanting parsnips, Karl is going to spend the whole day fishing. Also the most difficult catch for the Lake Fish bundle. But don't forget to check the comment section later since users cannot be tagged in the comments on Steam.I was thinking it might be nice to have the Flower Dance line up with today, but it’s actually a neat coincidence that it happened to rain in Stardew Valley for the first time in about ten days. If you have a question, feel free to ask. You can search for anything on that website. Lastly, Stardew Valley Wiki is your best friend.However, if you are new to the game I don't recommend adding any mods. If you have NPC Adventures Mod created by PurrplingCat, having Elliot as a companion gives you +3 fishing skill (which, again, makes your bar bigger) AND he gives you some fish he caught when you talk with him after fishing for a bit.So I prefer catching it on the following seasons when my level is higher. ![]() For example, the only river fish moving really fast on a rainy day is Catfish. So sometimes you can guess which fish is on the bait before catching it.

The shoebill favors the vast papyrus swamps of the Sudd, in northern East Africa. It has long legs and long toes, which also help it traverse sodden, marshy habitats. ![]() It’s wings help it keep its balance when clambering over shifting, wet vegetation. The shoebill’s wings are well suited for soaring they are strong enough to enable the bird to lift off near vertically, though it requires a powerful leap and a few heavy wing beats to catch a thermal. The upper mandible ends in a sharp nail, which helps shish-kabab slippery prey. Its unusual large, splotchy bill has sharp edges, which help in the swift decapitation of prey, and also in separating out vegetation that may be grabbed with the fish. It has a small, shaggy nuchal crest and piercing eyes that are yellowish or grayish-white. The belly is white, with some elongated feathers on the breast, with dark, contrasting shafts. A soothing combination of blue-gray, dark gray, and slate color make up most of its plumage. Shoebills are large-bodied, sturdy birds. Further muddying the waters, the shoebill’s mighty skull resembles that of pelicans, but that could be due to convergent evolution and both birds’ violent method of fishing (see Diet section below).īig bird. It shares some behavioral and anatomical characteristics with storks, but it is more like herons (Ardeidae), with its powder-downs (a special type of down feathers located on the breast and belly) and its habit of flying with its neck retracted. Once classified as a stork-shoebill stork or whale-headed stork-it is now in a Family of its own: Balaenicipitidae. Oh, and it’s a musical instrument! Shoebills perform bill clapping to drive away interlopers and woo mates males and females have different tones to their “clapping.”Ī league of its own. ![]() ![]() Over 7 inches (19 centimeters) long, and nearly as wide, it is also cavernous inside-and a handy container for fish prey, as well as water to douse its eggs or chicks with, as needed. Solitary in nature, even when paired with another, the birds like their space and will feed at opposite ends of their territory.īut what really gives the shoebill a leg up is its big, bulbous bill, which serves many purposes. Taller than a mailbox, with an eight-foot wingspan, the shoebill is quite a kick to observe! This hefty bird with its lesson-in-gray plumage is endemic to swamps and wetlands of Central and East Africa.

Two years later Elvis Presley signed with RCA and the ensuing exposure he received on national television introduced rockabilly to its widest audience yet and, like fire to kindling, there was no stopping its spread. They didn't know it at the time, but the music establishment had just changed forever. First billed as 'The Hillbilly Cat' (again a nod towards black and white influences), the boy with the seemingly rubber limbs sang both blues and country songs infused with elements of this new rockabilly movement to the bemusement of a music industry not yet aware of the significance of what they were listening to. The influence that the softly spoken Mississippi native had on popular music - and in particular rockabilly - is incalculable. Traces of its origins could be found in the country boogie and honky tonk tunes of the Delmore Brothers and Hank Williams, but most would agree that it was Bill Haley's influence on the scene which first established rockabilly's true identity, sometime around 19, after he had recognised the separate (but equally important) black and white sources of his music. ![]() Simply put, it was a fusion of black and white music of the era, born out of country boogie and rhythm and blues - all put through the unique filters of the various towns, swamps and pool halls from which it emerged. The term 'Rockabilly' came from an amalgamation rock and hillbilly music. It was at once rebellious, risqué and raunchy and, perhaps best of all, it was sincerely frowned-upon by the generation that came before. ![]() The post-war era had ushered in a new sense of freedom, identity and, with racial borders now beginning to recede and social awareness becoming part of the national debate (in some states, at least), things were getting very progressive - but this wasn't yet properly reflected in the popular music of the time.īut then, seemingly out of nowhere, a new sound began to emerge from the southern states. The early 1950s was a curious time for music in the United States. Some called it hillbilly rock, others christened it country boogie but long before a moniker had been settled on for it, rockabilly was making a huge impact in 1950s America. ![]() Purchasing digital cartridges and USB flash drives.Some additional TBBL pages that may be of interest: Help with BARD and NLS Equipment (includes software upgrade information).Braille and Audio Reading Download (BARD).The National Library Service (NLS) provides additional information bout BARD, including: Watch the BARD Express How-To Series (YouTube), a series of short videos that explain how to use this more simplified downloading program for newer computer users.Watch NLS BARD and BARD Mobile (YouTube), a two-minute NLS video where BARD patrons talk about why they like the service.Check out these seven reasons to download your own books.You can then search for and download audio or braille books from the NLS BARD website.
