 It may be popular as a Sunday School lesson, but Jonah is not a kid's story. In fact, Jonah teaches two great truths... one to avoid and one to embrace!  

 The most important service you do has nothing to do with Sunday morning. Real service takes place in quiet, unseen places.  

 No one (and nothing) can make you angry, upset or sad. We always get to choose our response.
