Acts Bible Study (The Model Church)
Acts 15:36-41, Resolving Conflicts In Christ
Conflicts between us happen. Sometimes we are unable to see eye to eye with another person on a particular issue, sometimes our conflicts simply come from misunderstanding and poor communication. Whatever the case may be, from time to time we will run into problems with other people. We must expect to encounter conflicts. But how to we handle the conflict? The New Testament helps us to see what we must do in these circumstances.
I. Examples of Conflict
A. Simon the Zealot & Levi the Tax Collector
As we have studied the people that Jesus befriends, we noted that one of the men Jesus chose was a tax collector named Levi, who is more commonly known as the apostle Matthew. Remember that tax collectors were considered traitors to the Jewish cause. Further, tax collectors were known to be thieves and extortioners, giving reason why tax collectors were classified as prostitutes in society. Tax collectors were a hated group of people by the Jews.
By contrast, Jesus also chose as one of this apostles Simon the zealot. We fail to recognize the gravity of the zealot's background until we consult history. The Expositor's Bible Commentary states that a zealot was "one who had advocated revolutionary opposition to Rome." Ryrie agrees, stating that zealots "advocated the overthrow of Rome by force." Josephus, a Jewish historian in the first century, says that zealots "resorted to violence and assassination in their hatred of the foreigner." Vincent in his book Word Studies says that zealots were "a sect which stood for the recovery of Jewish freedom and the maintenance of distinctive Jewish institutions."
Therefore, we must consider the political spectrum involved in Jesus' selection of apostles. One of the apostles worked for the Roman Empire, taxing the Jews unfairly to line his own pockets. Another apostle hated all that the Roman Empire stood for, believed in the overthrow of Rome, and perhaps would have worked to revolt against Roman power. One apostle agrees with the Romans and another apostle hates the Romans. One apostle accepted the presence of Roman power in Judea and profited from it and another apostle would be willing to die to rid Judea of Roman authority. It is not hard to imagine the conflict that would have existed on the first day as Matthew was introduced to Simon. It is not hard to envision the first thoughts that came through Matthew and Simon's minds when they learned they both had been called to follow Jesus.
B. Paul & Barnabas
But we do not have to wonder if there were conflicts that arose between Christians. The New Testament records such a conflict between Paul and Barnabas in Acts 15:36-41. Paul desires to go back to the cities he and Barnabas have preached in to see how the disciples in those cities are doing. Barnabas is determined to take Mark with them on this journey. Mark had gone with Paul and Barnabas on the first journey, but returned to Jerusalem early in the trip (Acts 13:13). It is Barnabas' expectation to take Mark on the journey with them again.
But Paul insisted that they should not take Mark with them because he had left them before. Verse 39 tells us that the dispute became a sharp disagreement. One does not have to think too hard to understand that the disagreement was about. Barnabas says that Mark went with them last time on the journey, and Mark is ready to go again. Barnabas is not bothered by the fact that Mark had returned to Jerusalem on the first journey. Paul, however, does not want Mark to come. Mark left before any of the cities had persecuted them. Mark had not seen the Jews of Antioch of Pisidia chase them through the cities of Asia Minor persecuting them. Mark had not seen what happened in Lystra where Paul was stoned, dragged out of the city, and left for dead. If Mark bailed out on the first journey before the going got hard, what will happen this time when Mark experiences the persecutions of the Jews!
So who is right? They both are right. Both of the opinions of Paul and Barnabas are valid and truthful. No one is making up a story nor has an ax to grind. These are the facts. In verses 39-41 we read about the solution Paul and Barnabas came up with for the problem. Paul and Barnabas divide up the territories they had visited. Barnabas takes Mark and they go to Cyprus to see how the disciples are doing there. Paul takes Silas and they go through Syria and Cilicia strengthening the churches.
We see the reason for the disputes we have looked at in this lesson. People have different backgrounds, different values, and different perceptions. From time to time we will have these conflicts because we will not see things that same way as other people. We are not robots who do all things the same way. I would not make the decisions that I see other people make and many people would not make the decisions I have made. Much of that has to do with our backgrounds, values, and perceptions. But what are we to do about this? How can we deal with these conflicts so that there is resolution and so that we are remain pleasing and obedient to God.
II. Dealing With Conflicts
A. What Not To Do
Tell others. I find it interesting that Paul and Barnabas do not drag the Antioch church into the dispute they are having with each other. Paul and Barnabas do not turn this sharp disagreement into a drama for the Antioch church to sort out. The problem remained with the people with whom the dispute was about. How often we pull people into problems that it is not their business to know about. If we have marriage conflicts, we tell others about it, rather than deal with the problem quietly. If we have friendship conflicts, rather than try to come to an understanding, we like to pull in our other friends to have them weigh in on the matter. Let us realize what we have done: we have broken trust. In a friendship, we have broken the trust of the relationship by telling others about the problem. The same is true in a marriage. We break the trust of the marriage when we tell others about our problems. Do not tell others.
Cold shoulder/lash out. Depending upon our personality, we often act like children when a conflict arises by either lashing out or giving the cold shoulder. Some people think they are acting appropriately by just not talking to the person or speaking in short sentence bursts. Do we really think that this is acting like Christ? Do we really think that intentionally ignoring someone in an attempt to either hurt another's feelings or to "make a point" is acceptable? Neither is lashing out at someone. The other reaction, which is just as wrong, is venting. We have had it so we just unload on someone. These reactions are not acceptable and are not found in the scriptures as righteous.
Complain. Many times we just complain about the situation. If we cannot have things our way, we are going to complain as much as possible about what happened. I am sure that Paul went through to the cities in Asia Minor, telling the disciples about how Barnabas wanted to take that deserter, Mark. I am sure that Barnabas went through Cyprus telling the disciples how awful Paul was for not wanting to take Mark with them. While we are convinced the apostles did not act this way, we sure act that way. We make sure that everyone knows what the other person did to us and paint them person into something terrible. Again, we are not acting like Christians.
B. What We Are To Do
Try to work it out. We have to realize that we may be wrong. We like to think that our opinion is always right and knowledge about someone or some situation is always correct. But such an egotistical attitude prevents us from trying to find common ground and resolution. Too often we just want to be right and we will misuse scripture or misrepresent other people just to justify ourselves. We must sincere try to work out our conflicts. The language of the Greek in Acts 15:36-41 indicates that this was an ongoing discussion. Barnabas did not simply say he wanted to bring Mark and Paul said no and so they split. This was a long discussion that finally turned into a sharp dispute. We must attempt to work out solutions.
Overlook it. We must realize that we will not see eye to eye on everything. Too often we think that everyone is coming from our point of view, and it is not true. Too often we think that the answer is clear from our vantage point, but we are not thinking about the other person's vantage point. When Paul said to look out for the best interests of others in Philippians 2, he was certainly including the need for us to put ourselves in another's shoes as best we can. Many times the reason for the conflict is that we are not considering where the other person is coming from.
Move forward. We must realize that I will not always be able to change people's minds. Are we arrogant enough to think that everyone should think the way we think? Are we so egotistical that we think our wisdom will change every person's mind to our side? We have to have the ability to let some things go. I personally would love for everyone to see eye to eye with me on the interpretation of Revelation, but I cannot hijack a relationship because someone does not. I cannot treat another badly because they do not think as I think. We have to move forward and let those things go.
Unite under a common cause. We have to realize that we will not believe all things alike. There are many issues that we will disagree upon. Paul and Barnabas disagreed about what to do with Mark. But they united under the common cause of Christ and their desire to help the new disciples in the cities. Paul and Barnabas had work to do for the Lord and their disagreement would not stop them from that work. In the same way, Simon the zealot and Levi the tax collector had many issues they would have disagreed upon concerning the involvement of the Roman Empire in Judaism and Christianity. But they had to unite under the common cause of following Jesus.
In Arkansas, a church in another city disagreed with how we advertised ourselves to visitors and what we did with our Wednesday evening Bible studies. So vehement was their belief that we were wrong, that they dissuaded people from going to our church. So many, rather than go to our church in Fayetteville, went to very liberal churches that were in clear error of the scriptures. Some brethren think they are justified in such actions. But we need to rethink what we are doing if we think that is a good thing. I may disagree with the church in Boca, Hollywood, or Fort Pierce, but better that someone go there than go to a place where clear error is taught. We have to unite some of our differences under the common cause of Christ, realizing that we will not believe all things alike. If we think we must believe all things the same to be in fellowship, then we will end up in a church of one.
Be defrauded. We must always remember Paul's words that it is better to be defrauded than to make a point. In 1 Corinthians 6:7 Paul said, "Why not rather be wronged? Why not rather be defrauded?" Instead of always trying to be right, we need to simply close our mouths and let many things go. We may be right, but Paul says we ought to be wronged instead. We may be right in dealing with the conflict in our marriage. But we need to be willing to be wronged. Rather than demand that we are right in our relationships, we can be defrauded. What does it really hurt? It does not hurt anything more than our own pride.
We know how to resolve our conflicts. The problem is that we usually are more interested in showing ourselves to be right rather than fixing the conflict. We just want to justify our thoughts too much. Rather than making a show, causing a stir, lashing out, or complaining about what has happened to us, let us simply and quietly try to act properly and resolve our conflicts, even if it means we may be treated unfairly. God will bring his justice later and knows of our righteous actions.

Finally visited every attraction in the Magic Kingdom. The last two on the list were Tom Sawyer's Island and the Liberty Square Riverboat.
Met lots of new characters, including Merida and some long lost Disney friends. I've also now bumped into Mickey Mouse in all four parks.
Flew high above Downtown Disney in the Characters In Flight balloon.
Spent an entire day on Tom Sawyer's Island playing hide-and-seek and scavenger hunts.
Ate dinner at my favorite resort restaurant, Ohana (this will now be an annual August tradition).
Said goodbye to my amazing Disney friends (both new and old).
Started planning a trip for October.
Now I'll spend the rest of the summer getting ready for my final semester at Penn State. I already submitted my intent to graduate. I've reached the final stretch and I cannot wait. I just know it's going to fly by.


Spend some time in the weeks up to your vacation taking longer day trips and weekend trips.
Always keep your cooler packed with food, water, ice, and beverages. Always.
Saddle bags, tour packs, and luggage rack versus a tow behind. We've done it both ways. Hint: For those that have been on a couple of extended trips and plan for many more, then a quality pull behind trailer is well worth the convenience when stopping for the night. If you don't have many extended trips under belt, it might be wise to pack every square inch of your bags and install a luggage rack on your tour pack. Bungee cords and a waterproof camping bag will do wonders for extra room (I used Outdoor Products 40L dry bag with roll up top and loved it).
Figure out what type of nightly accommodations you want to experience. One of our trips was strictly a Motorcycle/B&B vacation and it was a blast. Most B&Bs are more than welcoming to today's cycle vacationers (plus you roll outta the drive with a full belly, providing an extra hour of daylight for you). Otherwise, if campgrounds are your goal, most will welcome you with open arms.
Have the discussion on whether you want to get to a set area and use your accommodations as a base camp or whether you want to travel out to an end point (stopping along the way) and take a few days to meander back. Both are good approaches to a successful motorcycle trip.
Start with the essentials-- quart of oil, gas additive, and basic tool kit. Now add small cleaning supplies, windshield bug deterrent, etc. (Think leak proof for any & all liquids, cuz we've all been there). Now add in gear and luggage. Looked easy on paper, we know. That's why it's better to pack, re-pack, test pack, and repeat.
What I mean by this ,is watch out for the effects of taking a day or so break in the middle of your trip, as your body may have trouble catching up afterward.
Learn to work around the weather reports. Be able to adjust your route for a day or two based on weather. If heat is the issue, plan on extra early starts with extended midday breaks. Don't forget-- if the heat is an issue for you, it could also be an issue for your machine.
Try to stay in the habit of early starts. This will help overcome weather issues and fatigue. Additionally, figure that each stop to gas up and/or eating takes one hour out of your day.
It's all about the ride, so don't lose sight of that. My best trip was fourteen days that included just one reservation four days out. We knew we had to be in New Orleans four days after we pulled out of the driveway.
Our loosely laid plans allowed the freedom to travel as we saw fit, with very little pressure and a whole lot of pleasure.
Thanks, Dan! This is a fantastic post!

For weeks I've struggled with how to compose this post because my thoughts feel all chaotic and jumbled. However, the name of this blog is "Larval Subjects". This blog is a place for the development of half-formed, perhaps ill advised or poorly conceived thoughts. For no thought can be thought before it is thought, and thinking a thought has a certain element of materiality to it, found within speech and writing. Contrary to Aristotle's Peri hermenaias, where speech is a sign of thought and writing is a sign of speech, such that thought is conceived as an origin or spirit that precedes speech and writing, there is always something nachträglich in thought. One never truly knows what they think until after they have done, said, or written it. Thought is not what precedes our action, speech, and writing as an arche or origin, but is what will have been. At least that's how it is with me. Perhaps others have a presence of mind that precedes speech and writing, yet I am skeptical because even in such instances there is internal monologue which is a certain doubling of the subject as a fold between self and an other that one is and which is a work of composition. The process of acting, speaking, and writing is not a relation like the relation between clothing and the body, but is the very process by which the body is constituted. L'habit fait le moine. I will therefore proceed imprudently and recklessly, inscribing these thoughts in hope that they become a thought, inscribing these thoughts in hopes of some order emerging from the noise of this jumble when I try to think through the Unruly Heritage project.
The concept of heritage evokes that of inheritance. There is, of course, the notion of inheritance as our individual birthright or that which is bequeathed to us by our family: the estate as that which has been such a contentious site surrounding taxes in United States politics. However, there is also a more uncanny inheritance and heritage; the culture– a deeply contested and controversial category –that is our heritage and what we inherit. It was Heidegger who said that we are thrown into the world. At the risk of "downloading" Heidegger and inviting a scholarly discussion of his work (please don't!), it is this state of being thrown into the world that constitutes the uncanniness of heritage. There is– again, that problematic term –a cultural world that precedes us, that is alien and mysterious to us, that we did not ask for, but which we nonetheless must navigate and live in. We are thrown into it. This is not a metaphor, and, as Hegel said, the mysteries of the Egyptians were mysteries to the Egyptians. What is this claim to mean, if not that this thing we are supposed to be– this heritage –is nonetheless opaque and mysterious to us. "Am I doing it right?"
What is this thing that we call heritage? Maybe we get a little further with Deleuze and Guattari. In A Thousand Plateau, Deleuze and Guattari argue that every social assemblage is dually articulated between what they call a "collective assemblage of enunciation" and a "machinic assemblage". Moving quickly (there's much more to it), collective assemblages of enunciation are the domain of discourse, speech, the symbolic, communication. In Kafka: Towards a Minor Literature, they say that there's an anonymous murmur of language that precedes us and moves through us. There is something imperative in this anonymous murmur that commands us to repeat. If this murmur is anonymous, then this is because it is the speech of no one in particular. There's no origin to it, nor any author. I'm working here from memory of the text, so maybe I'm getting it wrong. But maybe that's how it is with collective assemblages of enunciation. Just as speciation takes place through geographical isolation and genetic drift, culture and heritage change precisely through unfaithful repetition– which is no ones intention in repeating –that gets it wrong.
On the other hand, there is the machinic assemblages. Machinic assemblages are not the order of the sign, symbol, and speech, but are rather relations between material bodies or things. These follow a different logic than that of enunciation. Where enunciation, Deleuze and Guattari say, brings about incorporeal transformations through a performative speech act– "The court finds the plaintiff guilty of murder!", now one has become a felon despite nothing changing in their physical attributes –relations between bodies in machinic assemblages are relations in which things affect and are affected by one another. Deleuze and Guattari give the example of the knight. The introduction of the stirrup changes warfare dramatically. Where before a horseback rider would have been thrown off their horse if they tried to hit someone else with their sword or lance, now they can transfer the force of their horse to the sword and lance at a fast gallop. While it certainly took a concept or idea to create the stirrup, the stirrup itself exercises its power not through an idea or concept, but through what it is as a thing and the powers or capacities of those things. Machinic assemblages are all around us. They are roads, infrastructures, technologies of all kinds, power lines, aqueducts and other irrigation techniques, the properties of rice and grains, sails, knots, satellites, water, techniques of inscription (Roman numerals or Arabic?), features of geography, etc., etc., etc. They are right there in the architectural layout of your apartment and home. They afford and constrain what we do and how we live, but in a silent way that often "goes without saying" or that isn't said at all.
In Foucault, Deleuze will say that Foucault explores the dehiscence between the visible and the articulable, such that the two form divergent synthesis where one never mirrors or represents the other, but where they two are nonetheless in relation to one another. The logic of the visible is not that of the logic of the articulable. The discourse of the penal system differs from the literal architecture of prisons. Magritte. This too is a part of heritage, but remarkably it is often passed over without comment by cultural, social, and political theory. Perhaps we should not be surprised, as insofar as machinic assemblages follow a silent logic that must be lived and felt to be known, they often fall out of the order of speech altogether. In Difference and Repetition, Deleuze will speak with admiration of Kant's discovery of a form of non-conceptual difference, difference not inscribed in the articulable, that can only be intuited or felt. This is the subject of Kant's transcendental aesthetic and his discussion of enantiomorphs in the Prolegomena. Right and left-handed gloves are conceptually identical, yet they are not isomorphic to one another. The difference between the two is something that can only be sensed. At the level of writing and discourse, we can only point to or allude to these differences. We can't capture them in the Apollonian world of the concept. Nonetheless, we are thrown into a world of machinic assemblages that we didn't choose, that is mysterious to us (here we should think of the stoker in Kafka's Amerika), which nonetheless contributes to the paths along which we move and the things that we do… I say contributes, not determines. Anyone who has watched Worst Cooks in America knows that while kitchen tools like knives and vegetable shredders suggest and invite a certain way of being held and used, people can fundamentally fail to miss these imperatives of the things themselves.
An unruly heritage, however, is something quite different. In Being and Time, Heidegger speaks of an "authentic" way of responding to being thrown into the world where we draw on the alien past into which we're thrown to project a future and constitute a present. In a criticism that echoes this way of thinking heritage, Bjørnar Olsen and Þóra Pétursdóttir speak of a sort of a sort of sanitized version of heritage common in heritage studies premised on "…contemporary human interests and conflicts" and "…commemorating various wished for and useful pasts." We might think of this version of heritage as what lies behind renovations of the Parthenon, where we strive to return it to its former glory, but as ruins. In our discussions in Svaerholt, Chris Witmore tells me that the Nazis were particularly preoccupied with the question of ruins. If I understood him correctly, they designed their buildings and fortifications in such a way as to fall into ruins gracefully (here I couldn't help but think of Hegel's response to the discovery that the Greek statues were painted: "well they shouldn't have been").
Drift at Svaerholt, Picture by Levi Bryant
However, there is another form of ruin that is more uncanny than the uncanniness of the alien nature of heritage that we are thrown into. This heritage is the products of culture's production that we seek to disavow and throw away. It is found in landfills, ocean drift, abandoned industrial and fishing towns, toxic waste, abandoned military installations, and all the rest. These things too are heritage, but they are a disavowed heritage that we would like to be free of. Riffing on Althusser, they are products of the process of production and the reproduction of the conditions of production. We believe or would like to believe that we throw these things away, but like the machinic assemblages that we are thrown into and that we must navigate in living in the world. Here I cannot help but think of Jane Bennett's claim in Vibrant Matter that, because we think matter is passive and inanimate, we think we can just throw it away and be done with it. Yet there it is, right in front of us, as something that we inherit. My wife tells me of a golf course in Northbrook, Illinois built on a landfill that had stacks in it to release the gases from the processes unfolding in the forgotten and buried landfill beneath. Drawing on Proust's famous madeleine, Olsen speaks of how archaeology opens the possibility of a sort of involuntary memory. The Unruly Heritage project confronts us with the repressed side of heritage, the products of social production or, as Bellamy has it, of social "metabolism", that we think we can throw away and forget but, which like all things repressed, return. As an archaeology of the anthropocene, it seeks out the secret lives of things and the "tain" of what we call anthropos where our being becomes alien to us and a force we must contend with as we undermine the very world upon which we depend to exist at all.

Proust is right as I read him, great piece, and I mean it in teh nicest if ways, an epic fail as to half formed post – great read as a formed post, with possibilities.
Though I'm not sure what the connections are, but your posts — like this one — so often feel like a confirmation of what I do in making art — what drives me, if not often in what I actually accomplish. It was my fascination with detritus I'd find on the street that got me started again, after a 40 year detour. That all these things, these fragments, in being broken and discarded–existed in a present– that was also, a Time, of shattered chronology, like the shards of broken mirrors I often used–and represented a kind of freedom. The former use-identities still clung to them, but thinly, like dust, that in rearranging them, they asserted a new identity in their assemblage. It felt very political. Yes, I thought, or felt — THIS is what we have to do to make a new, and humanly habitable world!

Army Chief Denies Claims against AFL
The Chief of Staff of the Armed Forces of Liberia (AFL), Brigadier/General Daniel Ziankahn, has denied rumors that officers of the AFL are engaged in rape, harassment and armed robbery activities in the Port City of Buchanan, Grand Bassa County.Since the imposition of the 9 p.m. to 6 a.m. curfew (now 11 p.m. to 6a.m.) by President Ellen Johnson Sirleaf, rumors emanating from Buchanan have alleged that uniformed, armed AFL soldiers were engaging in rape, harassment and armed robbery during curfew hours.A similar situation is also being reported in Monrovia, where the issue of armed robbery is on the increase. In Monrovia, it is being reported that the robbers are dressed in Army and Police uniforms and usually carry arms.But speaking on a local radio station, Magic FM, in Buchanan last week, when he was asked about the alleged situation in that county, General Ziankahn, refuted such claims. He said officers of the AFL would not be engaged in such acts. They are also stationed too far from Buchanan to surface at night to engage in such activities.The AFL Chief was speaking upon his return from the Timbo River Bridge between Grand Bassa and Rivercess counties, where AFL soldiers are deployed to protect that border after it was ordered closed by the government few months ago.He said the soldiers are operating with only one vehicle and that the distance from Timbo River Bridge is far from Buchanan for such acts. He further indicated that all of the officers assigned at the bridge are on duty together. "So it is hard to believe that the soldiers could be in that city at night raping and robbing people," he said.General Ziankahn suggested that people who might have been involved in such acts are those that have access to camouflage and other security uniforms and not necessary the soldiers."What the public should know is that people are masquerading wearing camouflage and other security uniforms on our streets, and there is no law against this in our country," he said.Gen. Ziankahn then reminded citizens of Buchanan that every soldier of the AFL is identifiable by the rank insignias worn on their uniforms. He called on the citizens not to be afraid of the AFL.The purpose of his visit was to inspect the operations of the Joint Security Task Force at the Timbo River Bridge, which includes the AFL, Police, Immigration and the Drug Enforcement Agency. He warned citizens to respect the curfew imposed by government to contain the Ebola virus.According to the Liberia News Agency (LiNA), in the past weeks, four houses in central Buchanan and Biafra communities have been reportedly terrorized by armed men during curfew, leading to a 27-year-old woman being raped.The most recent report came from Biafra community, accusing men dressed in military uniform of flogging residents during curfew, all of which Gen. Ziankahn said are untrue.Share this:Click to share on Twitter (Opens in new window)Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window)

Fairytalez.com » Charles Perrault » Princess Rosette
Princess Rosette
Charles Perrault April 12, 2015
Once upon a time there lived a King and Queen who had two handsome boys; so well-fed and hearty were they, that they grew like the day.
Whenever the Queen had a child, she sent for the fairies, that she might learn from them what would be its future lot. After a while she had a little daughter, who was so beautiful, that no one could see her without loving her.
The fairies came as usual, and the Queen having feasted them, said to them as they were going away, "Do not forget that good custom of yours, but tell me what will happen to Rosette"—for this was the name of the little Princess.
The fairies answered her that they had left their divining-books at home, and that they would come again to see her.
"Ah!" said the Queen, "that bodes no good, I fear; you do not wish to distress me by foretelling evil; but, I pray you, let me know the worst, and hide nothing from me."
The fairies continued to make excuses, but the Queen only became more anxious to know the truth. At last the chief among them said to her, "We fear, madam, that Rosette will be the cause of a great misfortune befalling her brothers; that they may even lose their lives on her account. This is all that we can tell you of the fate of this sweet little Princess, and we are grieved to have nothing better to say about her."
The fairies took their departure, and the Queen was very sorrowful, so sorrowful that the King saw by her face that she was in trouble. He asked her what was the matter. She told him she had gone too near the fire and accidentally burnt all the flax that was on her distaff.
"Is that all?" replied the King, and he went up to his store-room and brought her down more flax than she could spin in a hundred years.
But the Queen was still very sorrowful, and the King again asked her what was the matter. She told him that she had been down to the river and had let one of her green satin slippers fall into the water.
"Is that all?" replied the King, and he sent for all the shoemakers in the kingdom, and made the Queen a present of ten thousand green satin slippers.
Still the Queen was no less sorrowful; the King asked her once more what was the matter. She told him that, being hungry, she had eaten hastily, and had swallowed her wedding-ring. The King knew that she was not speaking the truth, for he had himself put away the ring, and he replied, "My dear wife, you are not speaking the truth; here is your ring, which I have kept in my purse."
The Queen was put out of countenance at being caught telling a lie—for there is nothing in the world so ugly—and she saw that the King was vexed, so she told him what the fairies had predicted about little Rosette, and begged him to tell her if he could think of any remedy.
The King was greatly troubled, so much so, that at last he said to the Queen, "I see no way of saving our two boys, except by putting the little girl to death, while she is still in her swaddling clothes."
But the Queen cried that she would rather suffer death herself, that she would never consent to so cruel a deed, and that the King must try and think of some other remedy. The King and Queen could think of nothing else, and while thus pondering over the matter, the Queen was told that in a large wood near the town, there lived an old hermit, who made his home in the trunk of a tree, whom people went from far and near to consult.
"It is to him I must go," said the Queen; "the fairies told me the evil, but they forgot to tell me the remedy."
She started early in the morning, mounted on her little white mule, that was shod with gold, and accompanied by two of her maids of honor, who each rode a pretty horse. When they were near the wood they dismounted out of respect, and made their way to the tree where the hermit lived.
He did not much care for the visits of women, but when he saw that it was the Queen approaching, he said, "Welcome! what would you ask of me?"
She related to him what the fairies had said about Rosette, and asked him to advise her what to do. He told her that the Princess must be shut up in a tower, and not be allowed to leave it as long as she lived. The Queen thanked him, and returned and told everything to the King. The King immediately gave orders for a large tower to be built as quickly as possible.
In it he placed his daughter, but that she might not feel lonely and depressed, he, and the Queen, and her two brothers, went to see her every day. The elder of these was called the big Prince, and the younger, the little Prince. They loved their sister passionately, for she was the most beautiful and graceful Princess ever seen, and the least glance of hers was worth more than a hundred gold pieces.
When she was fifteen years old, the big Prince said to the King, "Father, my sister is old enough to be married; shall we not soon have a wedding?" The little Prince said the same to the Queen, but their Majesties laughed and changed the subject, and made no answer about the marriage.
Now, it happened that the King and Queen both fell very ill, and died within a few days of one another. There was great mourning; everyone wore black, and all the bells were tolled. Rosette was inconsolable at the loss of her good mother.
As soon as the funeral was over, the dukes and marquises of the kingdom placed the big Prince on a throne made of gold and diamonds; he wore a splendid crown on his head, and robes of violet velvet embroidered with suns and moons. Then the whole Court cried out, "Long live the King!" and now on all sides there was nothing but rejoicing.
Then the young King and his brother said one to another, "Now that we are the masters, we will release our sister from the tower, where she has been shut up for such a long and dreary time."
They had only to pass through the garden to reach the tower, which stood in one corner of it, and had been built as high as was possible, for the late King and Queen had intended her to remain there always.
Rosette was embroidering a beautiful dress on a frame in front of her, when she saw her brothers enter. She rose, and taking the King's hand, said, "Good-day, sire, you are now King, and I am your humble subject; I pray you to release me from this tower, where I lead a melancholy life," and with this, she burst into tears.
The King embraced her, and begged her not to weep, for he was come, he said, to take her from the tower, and to conduct her to a beautiful castle. The Prince had his pockets full of sweetmeats, which he gave Rosette.
"Come," he said, "let us get away from this wretched place; the King will soon find you a husband; do not be unhappy any longer."
When Rosette saw the beautiful garden, full of flowers, and fruits, and fountains, she was so overcome with astonishment, that she stood speechless, for she had never seen anything of the kind before. She looked around her, she went first here, then there, she picked the fruit off the trees, and gathered flowers from the beds; while her little dog, Fretillon, who was as green as a parrot, kept on running before her, saying, yap, yap, yap! and jumping and cutting a thousand capers, and everybody was amused at his ways.
Presently he ran into a little wood, whither the Princess followed him, and here her wonder was even greater than before, when she saw a large peacock spreading out its tail. She thought it so beautiful, so very beautiful, that she could not take her eyes off it. The King and the Prince now joined her, and asked her what delighted her so much.
She pointed to the peacock, and asked them what it was. They told her it was a bird, which was sometimes eaten.
"What!" she cried, "dare to kill and eat a beautiful bird like that! I tell you, that I will marry no one but the King of the Peacocks, and when I am their Queen I shall not allow anybody to eat them."
The astonishment of the King cannot be described. "But, dear sister," said he, "where would you have us go to find the King of the Peacocks?"
"Whither you please, sire; but him, and him alone, will I marry."
Having come to this decision, she was now conducted by her brothers to their castle; the peacock had to be brought and put into her room, so fond was she of it. All the Court ladies who had not before seen Rosette now hastened to greet her, and pay their respects to her.
Some brought preserves with them, some sugar, and others dresses of woven gold, beautiful ribbons, dolls, embroidered shoes, pearls, and diamonds. Everyone did their best to entertain her, and she was so well brought up, so courteous, kissing their hands, curtseying when anything beautiful was given to her, that there was not a lord or lady who did not leave her presence gratified and charmed.
While she was thus occupied, the King and the Prince were turning over in their minds how they should find the King of the Peacocks, if there was such a person in the world to be found. They decided that they would have Rosette's portrait painted; and when completed it was so life-like, that only speech was wanting.
Then they said to her, "Since you will marry no one but the King of the Peacocks, we are going together to look for him, and will traverse the whole world to try and find him for you. If we find him, we shall be very glad. Meanwhile take care of our kingdom until we return."
Rosette thanked them for all the trouble they were taking; she promised to govern the kingdom well, and said that, during their absence, her only pleasure would be in looking at the peacock, and making her little dog dance. They all three cried when they said good-bye to each other.
So the two Princes started on their long journey, and they asked everyone whom they met, "Do you know the King of the Peacocks?" but the reply was always the same, "No, we do not." Each time they passed on and went further, and in this way they travelled so very, very far, that no one had ever been so far before.
They came to the kingdom of the cock-chafers; and these were in such numbers, and made such a loud buzzing, that the King feared he should become deaf. He asked one of them, who appeared to him to have the most intelligence, whether he knew where the King of the Peacocks was to be found.
"Sire," replied the cock-chafer, "his kingdom lies thirty thousand leagues from here; you have chosen the longest way to reach it."
"And how do you know that?" asked the King.
"Because," answered the cock-chafer, "we know you very well, for every year we spend two or three months in your gardens."
Whereupon the King and his brother embraced the cock-chafer, and they went off arm in arm to dine together, and the two strangers admired all the curiosities of that new country, where the smallest leaf of a tree was worth a gold piece.
After that, they continued their journey, and having been directed along the right way, they were not long in reaching its close. On their arrival, they found all the trees laden with peacocks, and, indeed, there were peacocks everywhere, so that they could be heard talking and screaming two leagues off.
The King said to his brother "If the King of the Peacocks is a peacock himself, how can our sister marry him? it would be folly to consent to such a thing, and it would be a fine thing for us to have little peacocks for nephews."
The Prince was equally disturbed at the thought. "It is an unhappy fancy she has taken into her head," he said. "I cannot think what led her to imagine that there was such a person in the world as the King of the Peacocks."
When they entered the town, they saw that it was full of men and women, and that they all wore clothes made of peacocks' feathers, and that these were evidently considered fine things, for every place was covered with them. They met the King, who was driving in a beautiful little carriage of gold, studded with diamonds, and drawn by twelve peacocks at full gallop. This King of the Peacocks was so handsome, that the King and the Prince were delighted; he had long, light, curly hair, fair complexion, and wore a crown of peacocks' feathers.
Directly he saw them, he guessed, seeing that they wore a different costume to the people of the country, that they were strangers, and wishing to ascertain if this was so, he ordered his carriage to stop, and sent for them.
'Oh, you are jesting;' replied the King of the Peacocks.
The King and the Prince advanced, bowing low, and said, "Sire, we have come from afar, to show you a portrait." They drew forth Rosette's portrait and showed it to him. After gazing at it a while, the King of the Peacocks said, "I can scarcely believe that there is so beautiful a maiden in the whole world."
"She is a thousand times more beautiful," said the King. "You are jesting," replied the King of the Peacocks.
"Sire," rejoined the Prince, "here is my brother, who is a King, like yourself; he is called King, and my name is Prince; our sister, of whom this is the portrait, is the Princess Rosette. We have come to ask if you will marry her; she is good and beautiful, and we will give her, as dower, a bushel of golden crowns."
"It is well," said the King. "I will gladly marry her; she shall want for nothing, and I shall love her greatly; but I require that she shall be as beautiful as her portrait, and if she is in the smallest degree less so, I shall make you pay for it with your lives."
"We consent willingly," said both Rosette's brothers.
"You consent?" added the King. "You will go to prison then, and remain there until the Princess arrives."
The Princes made no difficulty about this, for they knew well that Rosette was more beautiful than her portrait. They were well looked after while in prison, and were well served with all they required, and the King often went to see them.
He kept Rosette's portrait in his room, and could scarcely rest day or night for looking at it. As the King and his brother could not go to her themselves, they wrote to Rosette, telling her to pack up as quickly as possible, and to start without delay, as the King of the Peacocks was awaiting her. They did not tell her that they were prisoners, for fear of causing her uneasiness.
The Princess scarcely knew how to contain herself with joy, when she received this message. She told everybody that the King of the Peacocks had been found, and that he wanted to marry her.
Bonfires were lit, and guns fired, and quantities of sweetmeats and sugar were eaten; everyone who came to see the Princess, during the three days before her departure, was given bread-and-butter and jam, rolled wafers, and negus.
After having thus dispensed hospitality to her visitors, she presented her beautiful dolls to her best friends, and handed over the government to the wisest elders of the town, begging them to look well after everything, to spend little, and to save up money for the King on his return.
She also prayed them to take care of her peacock, for with her she only took her nurse, and her foster-sister, and her little green dog, Fretillon. They set out in a boat on the sea, carrying with them the bushel of golden crowns, and sufficient clothes for two changes a day for ten years.
They made merry on their voyage, laughing and singing, and the nurse kept on asking the boatman if they were nearing the Kingdom of the Peacocks; for a long time, all he said was, "No, no, not yet."
Then at last, when she asked again, "Are we anywhere near it now?" he answered, "We shall soon be there, very soon."
Once more she said, "Are we near, are we anywhere near it now?" and he said, "Yes, we are now within reach of shore."
On hearing this, the nurse went to the end of the boat, and sitting down beside the boatman, said to him, "If you like, you can be rich for the remainder of your life."
He replied, "I should like nothing better."
She continued, "If you like, you can earn good money."
"That would suit me very well," he answered. "Well," she went on, "then to-night, when the Princess is asleep, you must help me throw her into the sea. After she is drowned, I will dress my daughter in her fine clothes, and we will take her to the King of the Peacocks, who will only be too pleased to marry her; and as a reward to you, we will give you as many diamonds as you care to possess."
The boatman was very much astonished at this proposal; he told the nurse that it was a pity to drown such a pretty Princess, and that he felt compassion for her; but the nurse fetched a bottle of wine and made him drink so much, that he had no longer any power to refuse.
Night having come, the Princess went to bed as usual, her little Fretillon lying at her feet, not even stirring one of his paws. Rosette slept soundly, but the wicked nurse kept awake, and went presently to fetch the boatman.
She took him into the Princess's room, and together they lifted her up, feather bed, mattress, sheets, coverlet, and all, and threw them into the sea, the Princess all the while so fast asleep, that she never woke.
But fortunately, her bed was made of Phœnix-feathers, which are extremely rare, and have the property of always floating on water; so that she was carried along in her bed as in a boat.
The water, however, began gradually first to wet her feather bed, then her mattress, and Rosette began to feel uncomfortable, and turned from side to side, and then Fretillon woke up. He had a capital nose, and when he smelt the soles and cod-fish so near, he started barking at them, and this awoke all the other fish, who began swimming about.
The bigger ones ran against the Princess's bed, which, not being attached to anything, span round and round like a whirligig. Rosette could not make out what was happening.
"Is our boat having a dance on the water?" she said. "I am not accustomed to feeling so uneasy as I am to-night," and all the while Fretillon continued barking, and going on as if he was out of his mind.
The wicked nurse and the boatman heard him from afar, and said: "There's that funny little beast drinking our healths with his mistress. Let us make haste to land," for they were now just opposite the town of the King of the Peacocks.
He had sent down a hundred chariots to the landing-place; they were drawn by all kinds of rare animals, lions, bears, stags, wolves, horses, oxen, asses, eagles, and peacocks: and the chariot which was intended for the Princess was harnessed with six blue monkeys, that could jump, dance on the tight rope, and do endless clever tricks; they had beautiful trappings of crimson velvet, overlaid with plates of gold.
Sixty young maids of honour were also in attendance, who had been chosen by the King for the amusement of the Princess; they were dressed in all sorts of colours, and gold and silver were the least precious of their adornments.
The nurse had taken great pains to dress her daughter finely; she had put on her Rosette's best robe, and decked her all over from head to foot with the Princess's diamonds; but with all this, she was still as ugly as an ape, with greasy black hair, crooked eyes, bowed legs, and a hump on her back; and, added to these deformities, she was besides of a disagreeable and sulky temper, and was always grumbling.
When the people saw her get out of the boat, they were so taken aback by her appearance, that they could not utter a sound.
"What is the meaning of this?" she said. "Are you all asleep? Be off, and bring me something to eat! A nice set of beggars you are! I will have you all hanged."
When they heard this, they murmured, "What an ugly creature! and she is as wicked as she is ugly! A nice wife for our King; well, we are not surprised! but it was scarcely worth the trouble to bring her from the other side of the world."
Meanwhile she still behaved as if she were already mistress of all and everything, and for no reason at all, boxed their ears, or gave a blow with her fist to everybody in turn.
As her escort was a very large one, the procession moved slowly, and she sat up in her chariot like a queen; but all the peacocks, who had stationed themselves on the trees, so as to salute her as she passed, and who had been prepared to shout,"Long live the beautiful Queen Rosette!" could only call out, "Fie, fie, how ugly she is!" as soon as they caught sight of her.
She was so enraged at this, that she called to her guards, "Kill those rascally peacocks who are insulting me." But the peacocks quickly flew away, and only laughed at her.
The treacherous boatman, seeing and hearing all this, said in a low voice to the nurse, "There is something wrong, good mother; your daughter should have been better looking."
She answered, "Hold your tongue, stupid, or you will bring us into trouble."
The King had word brought him that the Princess was approaching. "Well," he said, "have her brothers, I wonder, told me the truth? Is she more beautiful than her portrait?" "Sire," said those near him, "there will be nothing to wish for, if she is as beautiful." "You are right," replied the King, "I shall be well content with that. Come, let us go and see her," for he knew by the hubbub in the courtyard that she had arrived. He could not distinguish anything that was said, except, "Fie, fie, how ugly she is!" and he imagined that the people were calling out about some little dwarf or animal that she had brought with her, for it never entered his head that the words were applied to the Princess herself.
Rosette's portrait was carried uncovered, at the top of a long pole, and the King walked after it in solemn state, with all his nobles and his peacocks, followed by ambassadors from various kingdoms.
The King of the Peacocks was very impatient to see his dear Rosette; but when he did see her—well, he very nearly died on the spot. He flew into a violent rage, he tore his clothes, he would not go near her, he felt quite afraid of her.
"What!" he cried, "have those two villains I have in prison had the boldness and impudence to make a laughing-stock of me, and to propose my marrying such a fright as that? They shall both be killed; and let that insolent woman, and the nurse, and the man who is with them, be immediately carried to the dungeon of my great tower, and there kept."
While this was going on, the King and his brother, who knew that his sister was expected, had put on their bravest apparel ready to receive her; but instead of seeing their prison door open and being set at liberty, as they had hoped, the gaoler came with a body of soldiers and made them go down into a dark cellar, full of horrible reptiles, and where the water was up to their necks; no one was ever more surprised or distressed than they were.
"Alas!" they said to one another, "this is indeed a melancholy marriage feast for us! What can have happened that we should be so ill-treated?" They did not know what in the world to think, except that they were to be killed, and they were very sorrowful about this. Three days passed, and no news reached them of any kind.
At the end of that time, the King of the Peacocks came, and began calling out insulting things to them through a hole in the wall.
"You called yourselves King and Prince, that I might fall into your trap, and engage myself to marry your sister; but you are nothing better than two beggars, who are not worth the water you drink. I am going to bring you before the judges, who will soon pass their verdict upon you; the rope to hang you with is already being made."
"King of the Peacocks," replied the King, angrily, "do not act too rashly in this matter, or you may repent it. I am a King as well as you, and I have a fine kingdom, and rich clothing, and crowns, to say nothing of good gold pieces. You must be joking to talk like this of hanging us; have we stolen anything from you?"
When the King heard him speak so boldly, he did not know what to think, and he felt half inclined to let them and their sister go without putting them to death; but his chief adviser, who was an arrant flatterer, dissuaded him from this, telling him that if he did not revenge the insult that had been put upon him, all the world would make fun of him, and look upon him as nothing better than a miserable little King worth a few coppers a day. The King thereupon swore that he would never forgive them, and ordered them to be brought to trial at once.
This did not take long; the judges had only to look at the real Rosette's portrait and then at the Princess who had arrived, and, without hesitation, they ordered the prisoners' heads to be cut off as a punishment for having lied to the King, since they had promised him a beautiful Princess, and had only given him an ugly peasant girl.
They repaired with great ceremony to the prison to read this sentence to them; but the prisoners declared that they had not lied, that their sister was a Princess, and more beautiful than the day; that there must be something under this which they did not understand, and they asked for a respite of seven days, as before that time had expired their innocence might have been established.
The King of the Peacocks, who had worked himself up to a high pitch of anger, could with great difficulty be induced to accord them this grace, but at last he consented.
While these things were going on at the Court, we must say something about poor Rosette. Both she and Fretillon were very much astonished, when daylight came, to find themselves in the middle of the sea, without a boat, and far from all help.
She began to cry, and cried so piteously, that even the fishes had compassion on her: she did not know what to do, nor what would become of her. "There is no doubt," she said, "that the King of the Peacocks ordered me to be thrown into the sea, having repented his promise of marrying me, and to get rid of me quietly he has had me drowned. What a strange man!" she continued, "for I should have loved him so much! We should have been so happy together," and with that she burst out crying afresh, for she could not help still loving him.
She remained floating about on the sea for two days, wet to the skin, and almost dead with cold; she was so benumbed by it, that if it had not been for little Fretillon, who lay beside her and kept a little warmth in her, she could not have survived. She was famished with hunger, and seeing the oysters in their shells, she took as many of these as she wanted and ate them; Fretillon did the same, to keep himself alive, although he did not like such food. Rosette became still more alarmed when the night set in. "Fretillon," she said, "keep on barking, to frighten away the soles, for fear they should eat us."
So Fretillon barked all night, and when the morning came, the Princess was floating near the shore. Close to the sea at this spot, there lived a good old man; he was poor, and did not care for the things of the world, and no one ever visited him in his little hut.
He was very much surprised when heard Fretillon barking, for no dogs ever came in that direction; he thought some travellers must have lost their way, and went out with the kind intention of putting them on the right road again.
All at once he caught sight of the Princess and Fretillon floating on the sea, and the Princess, seeing him, stretched out her arms to him, crying out, "Good man, save me, or I shall perish; I have been in the water like this for two days."
When he heard her speak so sorrowfully, he had great pity on her, and went back into his hut to fetch a long hook; he waded into the water up to his neck, and once or twice narrowly escaped drowning. At last, however, he succeeded in dragging the bed on to the shore. Rosette and Fretillon were overjoyed to find themselves again on dry ground; and were full of gratitude to the kind old man.
Rosette wrapped herself in her coverlet, and walked bare-footed into the hut, where the old man lit a little fire of dry straw, and took one of his dead wife's best dresses out of a trunk, with some stockings and shoes, and gave them to the Princess. Dressed in her peasant's attire, she looked as beautiful as the day, and Fretillon capered round her and made her laugh.
The old man guessed that Rosette was some great lady, for her bed was embroidered with gold and silver, and her mattress was of satin. He begged her to tell him her story, promising not to repeat what she told him if she so wished. So she related to him all that had befallen her, crying bitterly the while, for she still thought that it was the King of the Peacocks who had ordered her to be drowned.
"What shall we do, my daughter?" said the old man. "You are a Princess and accustomed to the best of everything, and I have but poor fare to offer, black bread and radishes; but if you will let me, I will go and tell the King of the Peacocks that you are here; if he had once seen you, he would assuredly marry you." "Alas! he is a wicked man," said Rosette; "he would only put me to death; but if you can lend me a little basket, I will tie it round Fretillon's neck, and he will have very bad luck, if he does not manage to bring back some food."
The old man gave her a basket, which she fastened to Fretillon's neck, and then said, "Go to the best kitchen in the town, and bring me back what you find in the saucepan."
Fretillon ran off to the town, and as there was no better kitchen than that of the King, he went in, uncovered the saucepan, and cleverly carried off all that was in it; then he returned to the hut. Rosette said to him, "Go back and take whatever you can find of the best in the larder."
Fretillon went back to the King's larder, and took white bread, wine, and all sorts of fruits and sweetmeats; he was so laden that he could only just manage to carry the things home.
When the King of the Peacocks' dinner hour arrived, there was nothing for him either in the saucepan or in the larder; his attendants looked askance at one another, and the King was in a terrible rage.
"It seems, then, that I am to have no dinner; but see that the spit is put before the fire, and let me have some good roast meat this evening."
The evening came, and the Princess said to Fretillon, "Go to the best kitchen in the town and bring me a joint of good roast meat."
Fretillon obeyed, and knowing no better kitchen than that of the King, he went softly in, while the cooks' backs were turned, took the meat, which was of the best kind, from the spit, and carried it back in his basket to the Princess. She sent him back without delay to the larder, and he carried off all the preserves and sweetmeats that had been prepared for the King.
The King, having had no dinner, was very hungry, and ordered supper to be served early, but no supper was forthcoming; enraged beyond words, he was forced to go supperless to bed.
The same thing happened the following day, both as to dinner and supper; so that the King, for three days, was without meat or drink, for every time he sat down to table, it was found that the meal that had been prepared had been stolen.
His chief adviser, fearing for the life of the King, hid himself in the corner of the kitchen to watch; he kept his eyes on the saucepan, that was boiling over the fire, and what was his surprise to see enter a little green dog, with one ear, that uncovered the pot, and put the meat in its basket. He followed it to see where it would go; he saw it leave the town, and still following, came to the old man's hut.
Then he went and told the King that it was to a poor peasant's home that the food was carried morning and evening. The King was greatly astonished, and ordered more inquiries to be made. His chief adviser, anxious for favour, decided to go himself, taking with him a body of archers. They found the old man and Rosette at dinner, eating the meat that had been stolen from the King's kitchen, and they seized them, and bound them with cords, taking Fretillon prisoner at the same time.
They brought word to the King that the delinquents had been captured, and he replied, "Tomorrow, the last day of reprieve for my two insolent prisoners will expire; they and these thieves shall die together."
He then went into his court of justice. The old man threw himself on his knees before him, and begged to be allowed to tell him everything. As he was speaking, the King looked towards the beautiful Princess, and his heart was touched when he saw her crying.
When, therefore, the old man said that she was the Princess Rosette who had been thrown into the water, in spite of the weak condition he was in from having starved for so long, he gave three bounds of joy, ran and embraced her, and untied her cords, declaring the while that he loved her with all his heart.
They at once went to find the Princes, who thought they were going to be put to death, and came forward in great dejection and hanging their heads; the nurse and her daughter were brought in at the same time.
The brothers and sister recognised one another, as soon as they were brought face to face, and Rosette threw herself on her brothers' necks. The nurse and her daughter, and the boatman, begged on their knees for mercy, and the universal rejoicing and their own joy were so great, that the King and the Princess pardoned them, and gave the good old man a handsome reward, and from that time he continued to live in the palace.
Finally, the King of the Peacocks did all in his power to atone for his conduct to the King and his brother, expressing the deepest regret at having treated them so badly. The nurse restored to Rosette all her beautiful clothes and the bushel of golden crowns, and the wedding festivities lasted a fortnight. Everyone was happy down to Fretillon, who ate nothing but partridge wings for the rest of his life.

Keani Hughes, aged 14, from Gomersal, has been announced as the winner of Jet2's Christmas card competition
Keani was one of hundreds of youngsters to enter the competition and impressed the judges with her drawing and design skills.
Her winning design showed Santa Claus sat on a beach, enjoying a "Merry Jet2 Christmas" and tucking into an ice cream, as elves sprinkled hundreds and thousands from a Jet2.com aircraft in the sky.
Keani said: "I'm over the moon to have won the competition, especially as we haven't been anywhere sunny for a couple of years now.
"I can't wait to get on a Jet2.com plane again and go somewhere warm and sunny!
"We're thinking of putting the holiday voucher towards a villa break in Spain, which I am really excited about."
Keani's mum, Lisa Hughes, added: "I saw the competition and knew it would be an activity Keani would enjoy doing, so suggested she enter.
"Keani does a lot of drawing at home and makes birthday cards for all the family.
"The brief for the design was 'Santa on a beach' and when she thinks of a beach, she automatically thinks of ice cream.
"Not only is she a great artist, Keani is also a fantastic baker!
"Keani thought it would be fun to have Santa's elves sprinkling hundreds and thousands from a Jet2.com plane."
Steve Heapy, CEO of Jet2.com and Jet2holidays, said: "We have been really impressed by all the designs we have received.
"A huge congratulations to Keani for winning our 2021 Christmas card design competition.
"Keani's winning design was fantastic, and we were thoroughly impressed with her artistic skills, creativity, and imagination.
"We hope Keani and her family have a lovely holiday!"

As a child and teen in the late 1950's and 60's in a firmly Protestant family, I was afraid of the symbols and physicality of my Catholic neighbors' faith. Rosaries, medals of saints, statues of angels and Jesus, and crucifixes seemed both anti-intellectual and idolatrous. Why would anyone need these primitive objects to bolster their faith when there were words–the words of Scripture, prayers, hymns, and theological discourse? Religion was about having the correct thoughts and beliefs, wasn't it?—not having some sentimental, visual, or tactile experience.
This snobby attitude worked for most of my life–until it didn't, until words started to fail me in both prayer and worship. When I prayed for others, I lost my words. I could think of nothing to say except the simplest of prayers. "Heal him." "Keep them safe, Lord." "Please help her." I expect God was fine with those barebones words. In the midst of this era of puny verbal prayers, I accidentally started to pray in color. A simple shape with lines, arcs, dots, and a smattering of color with a name became the visual platform for my prayers. Doodling gave me a way to get still on the inside, focus on the person I cared about, and turn my concerns over to God. My drawings were not the object of my prayer as I had incorrectly assumed rosaries, medals, and statutes were for others. But they were an avenue and aid for my prayer life. They released me from the need to have words, but gave me a way to sit in prayer.
I've been praying in color for fifteen years now, using it to corral my thoughts and enhance my intercessions, gratitudes, confessions, and adorations. Recently I've noticed that my doodles have been body parts. My husband and another friend had heart surgery. My husband had colon surgery. My friend Merry just had a extensive and painful foot surgery. Their names ended up in a heart, a colon, and a foot. As mostly an abstract doodler, I was surprised by the representational prayer drawings.
But I realized that this is not a new idea. People have been "praying with body parts" for years. Christians in Spain, Mexico, and South America use milagros and ex-votos. These are physical objects in various shapes offered to concretize a specific prayer request and a desired outcome. They can be small or large–silver, tin, wax, or wood. Since many prayers are for physical healing , many milagros are in the shape of a body part—heart, breast, kidney, intestine, foot, leg, hip. You name it. Some are small and fit in the hand. Holding them can be a tactile reminder to pray. Seeing them can be a visual reminder to pray. Often the milagros are taken to a church and placed near a candle or statue of a saint to request healing. They are also offered as a token of gratitude for answered prayer.
So I guess my doodled body-part prayers are a form of milagro. They are my way to make my prayers concrete. If words come to me as I draw, I pray them. Keeping the doodled prayers in plain sight is a prompt for me to be vigilant in prayer. On another day I add words, marks, and color to "update" my prayers. I am no longer ashamed that my prayers are tactile and visual. God does not require brilliant and articulate words from me but a willingness of spirit and an openness to God's presence in whatever form that may come.
The milagros/ex-votos in the collage below belong to my friend Carol. They are made of wax, silver, and wood. In the third picture the wooden feet are life-sized. The silver ones fit in the palm of my hand. Click to read more about milagros and ex-votos.

ELIZABETH LAWRENCE AND HER SOUTHERN GARDEN with GARDEN CURATOR ANDREA SPROTT
Elizabeth Lawrence was one of the grand dames of American horticulture in the 1900s. She was not only an avid gardener, but the first trained and licensed woman landscape architect out of the landscape architecture program at University of North Carolina, Raleigh. She designed, gardened and experimented with planting zones enthusiastically in her Charlotte, North Carolina home and garden from the late 1940s through the mid 1980s. She remains one of the stars in the firmament in our American Horticultural heritage – her southern garden and her globally resonant garden writing remain vibrant 75 years after the publication of her first book, "A Southern Garden".
For those of us who may need a refresher, Elizabeth Lawrence, born in 1904, was the first woman to graduate from the landscape architecture program at North Carolina State University. She made remarkable and lasting contributions to horticulture in the American South by maintaining her personal garden as a laboratory and through her prolific writing. Lawrence's writing – in books, articles, columns and correspondence – was personal, poetic and full of plant and garden information.
2017 marks important anniversaries of a large number of Lawrence's written work, including the 75th anniversary of what is perhaps the most well known of her books: "A Southern Garden," originally published in 1942. Her second manuscript, "The Little Bulbs," was published in 1957.
""This is the gate of my garden. I invite you to enter in; not only into my garden, but into the world of gardens — a world as old as the history of man, and as new as the latest contribution of science; a world of mystery, adventure and romance; a world of poetry and philosophy; a world of beauty; and a world of work."— Elizabeth Lawrence
Perhaps most importantly, she shared her experiences and knowledge widely through her beautiful and plentiful garden writing in books, articles and correspondence with other gardeners and horticulturists around the globe.
In honor of this notable woman in American Gardening, the Elizabeth Lawrence House & Garden are dedicating their biennial Fall Symposium to celebrating these milestones on October 18th and 19th in the garden. The event will feature regional and national garden and Elizabeth Lawrence experts.
This week on Cultivating Place we're joined by Andrea Sprott, Garden Curator since 2010 of the Elizabeth Lawrence House and Garden, part of the Wing Haven Foundation, in Charlotte, NC to hear more about the garden, the biennial garden symposium on October 18 and 19 "Inspiring the Unexpected" -a celebration of the garden, Elizabeth Lawrence and her legacy.

AMMAN — Jordanian air strikes against the so-called Islamic State (IS) terrorist group over the past days are estimated to have destroyed 20 per cent of the group's capabilities and destroyed 56 "targets of gravity", a senior army officer said on Sunday.
Royal Jordanian Air Force (RJAF) Commander Lt. Gen. Mansour Jbour said the force will continue air strikes against IS, adding that the intensity will depend on operational plans.
"We will continue air strikes against IS, but not with the same momentum… The raids will be intensified or decreased in accordance to our operational plans," the commander said at a press conference.
One day after the release of a video showing IS burning alive Jordan's pilot Muath Kasasbeh, Jordan carried out an intensive air assault against the terror group.
On the first day of the campaign, dubbed "Operation Martyr Muath", "dozens of fighters" hit 19 targets, the commander told a press conference convened at King Abdullah II Special Operations Training Centre in northeast Amman.
"On the second day, we destroyed weapons, fuel and equipment in line with our objectives, hitting 18 targets," Jbour added. On the third day, he added, Jordan's air strikes targeted IS strongholds.
The officer stressed that strikes were implemented with caution so as not to harm civilians.
Jbour also revealed that Jordan and its allies in the anti-IS coalition have killed 7,000 militants, emphasising that the war against the group will continue until it is completely uprooted.
So far, of the total 5,500 attacks and overflights led by the coalition against IS, Jordan took part in 946, according to the military commander.
Iraqi Kurdish fighters have joined the fight against Islamic State (IS) militants in Kobani, hoping their support for fellow Kurds backed by US-led air strikes will keep the ultra-hardline group from seizing the Syrian border town.
Jordan confirmed Tuesday that its warplanes had joined US-led strikes against the Islamic State (IS) group in Syria, Agence France-Presse (AFP) reported.
Despite their relatively small budget, the Jordan Armed Forces-Arab Army (JAF) are a force to be reckoned with, and have proven themselves as reliable protectors of the people and the political system, Prime Minister Abdullah Ensour said Monday.
