Understanding the Temptations of Christ

Cesar Chavez fasted to publicize migrant working conditions.

Some sources identify his fast as 25 days even as others indicate 30 days. Either way, he lost 30 pounds and nourished himself only with water.

St. Matthew mentions John the Baptist as locust- and wild honey-consuming. Was that a fasting or a lifestyle choice? And would honey have been sufficient for hydrating or would he have required water?

10 Things to Check Before You Open a Free Blog

Thank you for your comment below in answer to my previous observation and question.

The link to mystrikingly articles appears under the first subheading, Registration. Those articles cluster under books, calendars, fables, fairy tales, legends and maps.

The above-mentioned categories interest me because of your expertise and perspective and style.

But would contributions such as this one or such as niche colors have been deemed as more profitable to that owner?

19th Century Gothic and Sensation Literature

The computer crashed before I continued to another component of my observation and question below.

How does Anne Bronte fare, in comparison to sisters Charlotte and Emily, among British Isles-ers?

Lincolnshire : Grimsby Minster; St James

The computer crashed before I completed another component to my observation and question below.

My brother and I genealogized for a year at the Family History Library in downtown Salt Lake City, Utah.

At the time, St. Mark's Episcopal Cathedral Church had one female among its otherwise all-male canons. I remember seeing her in a pale blue dress or shirt and skirt. Perhaps she wore that color and that style always, perhaps she would alternate with other colors and with shirts and slacks.

Would Rev. Teena have indicated what her professional wardrobe would have required of her in the way of clothing colors and styles?

Lincolnshire : Grimsby Minster; St James

The second in-text image gives us a partial look at Rev. Teena.

Is an Anglican Reverend-ess -- ;-D -- expected to wear a dress or a shirt and skirt or a shirt and slacks? And must that color always be black?

19th Century Gothic and Sensation Literature

Emily Bronte appearing on the Gothic and sensation literature list catches my attention again and again.

Do Charlotte Bronte and Emily Bronte hold similar reactions among British Isles-ers or does one sister hold more sway than the other?

Understanding the Temptations of Christ

The statement that Jesus ate and drank nothing is generally not taken literally, unless a miracle happened. We cannot go without water?. But there is no information on Jesus' diet..

The owner didn't see profit in my blog, so it canceled it. I don't blame him/her. In general, I try to open blogs focused on one theme only. But I noticed sometimes a wider approach is better because some themes I work on just don't fit anywhere else. So I have so-called niche blogs (e.g. about colors) and blogs about 'everything'.

Understanding the Temptations of Christ

Thank you for your comments below in answer to my previous observation and question.

Your first subheading, Jesus in the wilderness, advises us that "In the cliffs above Qumran there were caves, which when the Qumran site was in use were sometimes, it is believed, used for community members to spend periods of prayer, fasting and silence in the solitude of the desert. They were away from the community, but not so far that no help was near."

Is it known what fasting impelled Jesus Christ not to drink or to eat?
For example, is it known whether or not that diet or non-diet involved just drinking water?

Movie Review: Dead in Tombstone (2013)

It's an unexpected premise that Lucifer, not God, is in charge of whether or not to instill a body located in hell for bad living and death with its soul once more.

Might the shortcomings in the reviewed film be mastered by a savvy remake or might its shortcomings mean no remake ever?

In the case of a remake, who would you choose to interpret Lucifer?

I have little experience with flowers. I specialise in vegetables. Sorry.

We do not know, but I do not know of any extended or deep cave systems in Palestine.

We know almost nothing of what happened during those forty days. We can only surmise.

I do not know of any such tale.
