Stonebwoy

Reggae-dancehall artiste, Stonebwoy has shared his thoughts on the government’s plan to rename Kotoka International Airport to Accra International Airport, urging that any such decision must have a strong national justification.

On the sidelines of the Africa Prosperity Dialogue in Accra, the Bhim Nation leader acknowledged that the airport’s current proposal is not entirely new.

“It used to be called Accra International Airport anyway, so when the name goes back, for whatever reason, I would believe that the reasons are clear, the reasons are politically accurate, and are very nationalistic, I would believe so,” he said.

Stonebwoy stressed that a name change should come with tangible benefits for the country and enhance Ghana’s international image. “But should this change and it doesn’t reflect any upliftment, then I think I wouldn’t side with that. But if it’s going to reflect upliftment and uplift a positive narrative about this nation, I’m for that.”

“It used to be called Accra International Airport anyway, so when the name goes back, for whatever reason, I would believe that the reasons are clear, the reasons are politically accurate, and are very nationalistic—I would believe so,” he said.

Agradaa

The Amasaman High Court has reduced the prison sentence of controversial evangelist Patricia Asiedu, (Nana Agradaa) from 15 years to 1 year, after ruling that the original punishment was excessive.

In its decision, the court upheld her conviction but exercised its discretionary powers to review the sentence.

The court concluded that while the offence justified a custodial punishment, the initial 15-year term with hard labour was disproportionate to the circumstances of the case.

The revised sentence is to take effect from the date of her conviction on July 3, 2025. This means Nana Agradaa will serve a total of 12 months in prison.

Nana Agradaa, a former fetish priestess who later turned an evangelist, was convicted for charlatanic advertisement and defrauding by false pretences. The trial court’s decision to impose a lengthy sentence with hard labour generated widespread public debate and drew significant legal attention.

UK Prime Minister apologises to Epstein victims for appointing Mandelson

UK Prime Minister Keir Starmer

British Prime Minister Keir Starmer has apologised to the victims of Jeffrey Epstein for appointing Peter Mandelson as the United Kingdom’s ambassador to the United States, despite the diplomat’s close ties to the late sex offender.

“It had been publicly known for some time that Mandelson knew Epstein, but none of us knew the depth and the darkness of that relationship,” Starmer said in a speech given from southern England on Thursday.

The prime minister had appointed Mandelson to be ambassador to the US in December 2024.

Starmer fired Mandelson last September after emails were published showing that he maintained a friendship with Epstein following the late American financier’s 2008 US conviction for sex offences involving minors.

But the prime minister now faces fresh pressure over the appointment after the US Justice Department last week released files revealing new details of Mandelson’s close relationship with Epstein.

The files also suggested Mandelson had leaked government documents to Epstein, and that Epstein had recorded payments to Mandelson or his then-partner, now his husband.

Ukrainian soldier going to be buried

The number of Ukrainian soldiers killed on the battlefield in the four years of war with Russia is 55,000, President Volodymyr Zelensky has said.

Zelensky announced the figure in an interview with France 2 TV on Wednesday. Additionally, a large number of people are considered officially missing, he said.

While both Kyiv and Moscow have regularly published estimates of the other side’s losses, they have been reluctant to detail their own. However, the BBC has confirmed the names of almost 160,000 people killed fighting on Russia’s side in Ukraine.

US President Donald Trump has been leading efforts to end the war that began with Russia’s full-scale invasion of its neighbour on 22 February 2022.

Special US envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner, Trump’s son-in-law, held talks with Russian and Ukrainian negotiators in the capital of the United Arab Emirates, Abu Dhabi, for a second day on Thursday in an effort to try and thrash out the details of the US-proposed peace deal.

It was the second such trilateral meeting and the talks had been “detailed and productive”, Steve Witkoff wrote on X, but “significant work remains”.

The most difficult issue is territory, with Russia demanding that Ukraine cedes the rest of the eastern industrial region of Donbas that Moscow does not currently control.

Zelensky said the talks had not been easy, and Ukraine would remain “as constructive as possible”, but wanted “faster results”.

Trump often says thousands of Ukrainians and Russians die unnecessarily every week. Western intelligence agencies also publish estimates, which are impossible to verify.

The last time Zelensky gave an update on Ukraine’s casualties was in December 2024, when he put deaths at 43,000.

The official number of dead cited by Zelensky is considerably lower than Ukraine’s total losses. As a large number of people are registered as missing.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi

The US and Iran have agreed to hold nuclear talks in Oman on Friday, as President Donald Trump issued a blunt warning to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi said that the meeting would start at 10:00 (06:00 GMT) in Muscat. US officials also confirmed it would happen there.

The talks had appeared to be in jeopardy, with the two countries at odds over the location and parameters.

Trump has built up US forces in the region and threatened military action if Iran does not agree a deal on its nuclear programme and stop killing protesters. Asked whether Khamenei should be worried, he told NBC News on Wednesday: “I would say he should be very worried.”

“He should be. As you know, they’re negotiating with us,” he added.

Khamenei warned the US on Sunday that any attack on Iran would spark a “regional war”.

An Arab diplomat told the BBC’s US partner, CBS News, that the negotiations between Tehran and Washington were never officially called off but had been in flux on Wednesday morning.

Three US officials also confirmed the accuracy of an Axios report, which said the talks were put back on track in the afternoon after several Arab and Muslim leaders urged the Trump administration not to follow through on its threats to walk away.

Axios said the administration agreed to the request “to be respectful” to its allies but that it was “very sceptical” about the prospects of success.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio earlier told a news conference that special envoy Steve Witkoff had been preparing to meet Iranian officials in Turkey along with representatives of other regional powers, when they received “conflicting reports” about Iran’s participation.

US must be prudent when supplying arms to Taiwan, Xi tells Trump

Donald Trump and China's leader Xi Jinping

China’s leader Xi Jinping has called Taiwan “the most important issue” in China-US relations during a phone call with US President Donald Trump.

Xi told Trump to be “prudent” when supplying weapons to the island, state media report, adding that he attached “great importance” to ties with Washington and hoped both sides would find ways to resolve their differences.

Trump described Wednesday’s call as “excellent” and “long and thorough”.

The call followed a flurry of visits by Western leaders, including the UK’s Prime Minister Sir Keir Starmer, to China in recent months, hoping to reset relations with the world’s second-largest economy.

Trump himself is due to visit China in April, a trip he said he “very much” looked forward to.

He added that Beijing was considering buying 20 million tonnes of US soybeans, up from the current 12 million tonnes.

“The relationship with China, and my personal relationship with President Xi, is an extremely good one, and we both realize how important it is to keep it that way,” he wrote in a Truth Social post.

Apart from Taiwan and soybeans, Trump and Xi discussed Russia’s war in Ukraine, the current situation in Iran, and China’s purchase of oil and gas from the US, the US president wrote.

On Taiwan, Xi said the self-governed island was “China’s territory” and that Beijing “must safeguard [Taiwan’s] sovereignty and territorial integrity”.

“The United States must handle the issue of arms sales to Taiwan with prudence,” he warned.

China has long vowed to “reunify” with Taiwan and has not ruled out the use of force to do so.

The US has formal ties with Beijing rather than Taiwan, and has walked a tight diplomatic rope for decades. But it remains a powerful ally of Taiwan and is the island’s biggest arms supplier.

Health benefits of Avocado, the millennial’s favourite fruit

Avocados

Smashed on toast or blended into a green smoothie, avocado has become a health food staple.

Often described as a ‘superfood’, avocados are nutrient-dense and packed with heart-healthy monounsaturated fats, fibre, potassium and vitamins K, E and C.

Popularised by celebrities like Gwyneth Paltrow, avocado toast became a 2010s health staple, becoming shorthand for the millennial lifestyle, wellness, and, controversially, perceived financial extravagance.

Studies show that eating avocados regularly may reduce the risk of cardiovascular disease, improve cholesterol levels, help in weight management and promote better eye and skin health.

Nutritional Therapist and founder of GP nutrition, Gabriela Peacock, told the Daily Mail: ‘Avocados are rich in healthy fats and fibre, which support energy, skin health and longevity.

‘They are a perfect addition to your diet as they’re nourishing, satisfying and easy to build into quick meals.’

Though often used in savoury dishes, the avocado is not a vegetable but is actually considered a large berry due to its fleshy pulp and a single, large seed. It is closely related to aromatic plants such as cinnamon.

Native to the Americas, avocados are sometimes known as butter pears because of their oily flesh, or as an alligator pear because of their knobbly textured green skin.

But it wasn’t until the 1960s that they first became available in Britain, marketed as hit ‘avocado pears’ – and the foreign, oily fruit wasn’t very popular.

In fact, many Britons didn’t know what to do with the ‘exotic’ fruit and tried serving it with custard, leading supermarkets to provide instructional leaflets.

During the 70s and 80s, avocados were considered a luxury item, often making a star turn in prawn cocktails dished up at well-to-do dinner parties.

But by 2015, The Grocer reported that more avocados were being sold in the UK than oranges, marking their full transition from exotic novelty to everyday staple.

Hanieh Vidmar, nutritional therapist and naturopathic chef, told the Daily Mail: ‘Avocados align closely with modern food trends – they’re a whole food, rich in healthy fats, supportive of blood sugar stability, suitable for plant-based and low-carb diets, and visually appealing.’

While avocados are high in fat and calories – a single, medium-sized fruit contains around 240-320 calories and 22-30 grams of fat – nutritionists are eager to dispel the myth that this makes them an unhealthy option.

Lily Soutter, registered nutritionist BSc MSc, says: ‘One common myth is that avocados are high in fat, which automatically makes them fattening.

‘While avocados do contain healthy fats, portion size matters, and they can be enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.

‘Generally, a standard portion is half a medium-sized avocado, which contributes to your five-a-day. Their high fibre content can help promote feelings of fullness and satisfaction.’

From guacamole to sushi, pesto to brownies, avocados are a surprisingly versatile ingredient to have in your fruit bowl.

Avocado is also used in cold-pressed cooking oil, ready-to-eat guacamole and skincare, such as lotions, creams and hair masks.

A recent YouGov poll saw it ranked as the 19th most popular vegetable (though technically a fruit) with almost 70 per cent of people saying they liked it.

Most avocados found in UK supermarkets are of the Hass variety, recognisable by its dark, knobbly, bumpy skin and creamy texture.

Other, less common varieties available include smooth-skinned green-skinned types like Fuerte or Ettinger. These are mainly imported from Peru, Israel, Chile, Colombia, and South Africa.

Below, with a team of nutritionists’ expert input, we take a closer look at why avocados are a must-have addition to our daily diet – and how to make them even healthier.

It’s good news for smashed avo fans as our nutritionists all agree that avocados are fine to eat every day as part of a balanced diet.

Specialist registered dietitian and author of How Not to Eat Ultra-Processed, Nichola Ludlam-Raine, told the Daily Mail: ‘Avocados can be eaten regularly and even daily if you enjoy them, but portion size matters as they are relatively energy-dense.

‘For most people, around half an avocado per serving (per day) fits well within a balanced diet.’

Avocados are especially beneficial for pregnant women and those breastfeeding because they are packed with essential nutrients, including folate, potassium, fibre, and healthy fats, which are frequently under-consumed during pregnancy.

They can also be beneficial if you’re prone to blood sugar dips, as the unique combination of low sugar, high fibre and healthy fats helps to promote steady energy levels.

Calling The Disciples

By
admin

Dr. Joyce Rosalind Aryee, Executive Director, Salt and Light Ministries

“Come, follow Me,” Jesus said, “and I will send you out to fish for people.”
Matthew 4:19 NIV

Introduction

One essential truth that has often been overlooked in modern Christianity is that Jesus was Jewish, and so were His disciples. Understanding the Jewish context of Jesus’ life and ministry helps us better appreciate the depth of His calling and the nature of discipleship. Jesus did not appear in history as a distant religious figure. He lived within a rich Jewish tradition, taught from the Hebrew Scriptures, and functioned as a respected teacher within His community.

In His time, Jesus would have been recognized as a rabbi, a spiritual teacher whose authority came not from formal appointment but from deep knowledge of Scripture and the way He lived it out. His invitation to follow Him carried far more weight than a simple call to belief. It was a summons into a life of complete devotion, imitation, and transformation.

 

Jesus as Rabbi

A rabbi was a teacher who was thoroughly trained in the Hebrew Scriptures and their interpretation. Rabbis were masters of the Torah and were often able to recite the entire Hebrew Bible from memory. This level of mastery required immense dedication, discipline, and passion. Rabbis lived and breathed the holy text, shaping their lives around it.

Rabbis were not elected through examinations or formal systems. Instead, they were recognized by their communities because of their wisdom, depth of understanding, and ability to engage other teachers in meaningful dialogue within the synagogue. As their reputation grew, they gathered disciples who followed them closely. These disciples were not casual learners but devoted students who committed their lives to their rabbi’s teaching and example.

As Jesus taught in synagogues and revealed His understanding of Scripture, it became clear that He functioned as a rabbi in His own right. People listened to Him with astonishment because He taught with authority and clarity, unlike many of the teachers of the law.

 

What It Meant to Be a Disciple

In the modern church, discipleship is often understood as mentorship or instruction. In Jewish culture, discipleship was far deeper. To be a disciple of a rabbi meant more than learning information. A disciple desired to become exactly like the rabbi. The goal was imitation, not simply education.

A rabbi tested potential disciples by asking probing questions to assess their knowledge of Scripture, their ability to interpret it, and their capacity to live according to its demands. Only those who showed promise were invited to follow. When a rabbi said, “Come, follow me,” it was an invitation to leave everything behind and enter into an intense, life shaping relationship.

A disciple would live with the rabbi, travel with him, eat with him, observe his interactions, and study his every action. The disciple’s hope was to one day become a rabbi and raise disciples of his own.

 

The Radical Call of Jesus

As Jesus walked by the Sea of Galilee, He encountered Simon Peter and his brother Andrew casting their nets. Their presence as fishermen indicated that they had likely not advanced far enough in religious education to continue studying under a rabbi. Yet Jesus approached them and said, “Come, follow Me, and I will send you out to fish for people.”

Immediately, they dropped their nets and followed Him.

Jesus then called James and John, who left their boat, their father, and their livelihood to follow Him. Later, He called Philip, who in turn brought Nathanael. He also called Levi, later known as Matthew, a tax collector despised by his own people for collaborating with Roman authorities. To each one, Jesus spoke the same words: “Come, follow Me.”

Every one of them responded by leaving everything behind. Their response mirrored the radical commitment expected of a disciple in Jewish culture.

 

The Twelve and God’s Greater Purpose

Although many followed Jesus, He selected twelve men to walk closely with Him. These twelve disciples lived with Him, learned from Him, and shared every aspect of life with Him. Their ages ranged roughly from thirteen to thirty, and they became His closest companions.

The number twelve carried deep symbolic meaning for Israel. There were twelve sons of Jacob, twelve tribes of Israel, and twelve territories under David’s reign. By choosing twelve disciples, Jesus was declaring that God was forming a new people and fulfilling His redemptive plan through them.

These men dedicated their lives to becoming like Jesus. They listened to His teachings, watched His compassion, observed His obedience to the Father, and learned how to live out God’s Kingdom on earth. Through them, Jesus would ultimately change the world.

Jesus’ call to discipleship was not limited to the first century. He continues to invite people today into that same relationship. The question is whether we see Jesus merely as a Savior or truly as our rabbi. To follow Him means more than attending church services. It means ordering our entire lives around His teaching, His character, and His mission.

Discipleship calls us to deep intimacy, daily obedience, and wholehearted commitment. It challenges us to live Scripture, not just study it. Jesus invites us to walk closely with Him, learn from Him, and reflect His life to the world.

 

Conclusion

The call of Jesus to His disciples was intentional and transformative. He chose ordinary individuals whom society had deemed unqualified, and He entrusted them with an extraordinary mission. When Jesus said, “Come, follow Me,” He was calling them into a life of complete devotion, purpose, and identity.

That call remains unchanged. Jesus still looks beyond our limitations and invites us into a life shaped by His presence and truth. When we respond with faith and obedience, He forms us into true disciples who reflect His love and advance His Kingdom.

The invitation still stands. Jesus is still calling. The question is whether we are willing to follow.

A/R Minister pleads with Residents: Let’s work to avoid Preventable Fire Disasters

Dr. Frank Amoakohene - Ashanti Regional Minister

The Ashanti Regional Minister, Dr. Frank Amoakohene, has called on residents to work together to protect lives, livelihoods, and public infrastructure from preventable fire disasters.

In a statement released on Tuesday, this week, the Minister expressed concern over the increasing incidence of fire outbreaks in the region, particularly during the dry season.

He disclosed that from January 1 to 28, 2026, the Ghana National Fire Service (GNFS) recorded 125 fire incidents, including market fires, residential fires, commercial and industrial fires, vehicular fires, bush fires, and other outdoor fire emergencies.

The minister attributed many of these incidents to electrical faults, improper handling of flammable materials, and unsafe practices.

Dr. Frank Amoakohene urged residents to observe fire safety measures, such as avoiding illegal electrical connections, switching off appliances when not in use, and refraining from indiscriminate bush burning.

He also directed Metropolitan, Municipal, and District Assemblies (MMDAs) to strictly enforce planning and safety regulations and clear access routes for emergency services.

He stressed that the GNFS will intensify public education and enforcement activities to enhance fire prevention and preparedness.

Feature: NPP Presidential Primaries: Gloomy Fallouts

Finis coronat opus (the end crowns the work)

“I fear now to be left in the midst of contest and crisis in all things, I shall bear it by the grace of God …”

Earl of Oxford 4th Danvers

Escheat Letter (1604)

It was episodic. It was “continuity” versus “change”. Finally, 31st January 2026 came, and the 211,000 or so delegates had psyched themselves for an elephantine combat.

It all started when the Presidential Election Committee per Article 13 (1) (ii) of the NPP Constitution announced that the Presidential primaries would be held before the electoral, areas to Regional level elections. Nobody would listen to anybody. The decision had been taken; top-to-bottom. Untraditional.

Then, the prophets, seers, fortune-tellers, revelators (95% of them fake according to Pastor Otabil) seized the opportunity to stage their own prophecies, and up-stage others. There were five contestants: Dr Mahamudu Bawumia, Kennedy Akompreko Agyapong, Bryan Acheampong, Dr Adutwum, Kwabena Agyapong.

The focus was on the first two. Some prophets said God had spoken to them; others had seen God fiili-fiili and the Almighty had instructed them… Mahamudu Bawumia will win… humble, respectful, knowledgeable, he had been there before… and the whole of Ghana know him.

He was the Establishment candidate, and with him, those in NPP office now would not have to fear — he won’t sack anybody. God had spoken to others… Ken Agyapong will win… the no-nonsense man who has popularised the expression ‘show-down’, he who can use the” f… “word for President Mahama, he who cannot see why he has joined a party of fools nitwits; he who does not mention the smelly orifices of antagonistic females.

To the extent that Adwoa Saa-fo Ken’s erstwhile consort for whose E-Levy vote a private jet costing the nation GH₵ 1m was allegedly spent, would switch camp and say: “Ken who insults women… imagine Ken as President and (given the work I have done) my CV goes before him… my future career is at stake (despite the two children I have with him)… vote for Bawumia…”

The pastors, prophets would prophesy, not preach the word of God. El Bernard would prophesy: “Bawumia cannot win… he cannot lead. I always reveal what God has told me… bank on Ken.”

Nana Boadie Obodade would throw tantrums from Asuom and bark at all the 5 NPP Presidential hopefuls as “sankwas”. Abronye who inherited 11 MPs in his Bono Region and in his time as NPP Chairman would lose all save one MP would condemn Ken Agyapong openly for not being grateful to Akufo-Addo / Bawumia government for the many contracts he had received inflated the cost … criticises Ken for calling Bawumia a liar: “The elephant in the bush has more sense than Kennedy”.

Rev. Isaac Owusu-Bempah would condemn Bawumia: “Dr Bawumia wants to become President? We shall see…” We recall: “when the fundamentals are weak, the exchange rate will expose you”, a la Bawumia.

Ken will disregard all the taunts and because he used the eponymous KENnected to get connected with the delegates, despite abusive calling, Ken “the deputy Bonsam” who “born dog”? Ken would repeat

Asiedu Nketia, NDC Chairman would charge: “Dr Bawumia said he wanted the ‘steering wheel’; NDC would give him the steer… and keep the car… “Momfa steer no mma me…” Okatakyie Afrifa-Mensah would charge on Ernest Owusu Bempah, “… For that guy he worked for JJ Rawlings and Nana Konadu.

At the conference, prior to the voting, the body language of the Presidential aspirants could reveal their inner thinking. There appeared to be no love exchange between Dr Bawumia and Kennedy. All the aspirants, except Ken would bow to the elders before taking their seats. Demeanour. People were watching… Later, Bryan Acheampong would reveal what happened: “… it was opportune that I was made to sit between Dr Bawumia and Kennedy… otherwise …” the threat of “showdown” to neutralise the atmosphere.

The Bawumia Team allegedly had prepared the “Ten Sins” of each of the contestants, save Bawumia. Bawumia has run the show as Vice President for eight (8) years; the Voters Register had maintained the same delegates … and the delegates and officials of NPP had to vote for Bawumia to maintain their positions. Why not?

The votes garnered by Dr. Bawumia was 110,643 votes (56.48%); Kennedy Agyapong comes second with 46,554 votes (23.76%); Bryan Acheampong third with 36,303 votes (18.53%); also ran Yaw Osei Adutwum with 1,999 votes (1.02%) and mmoborowa Kwabena Adjei Agyapong with 402 votes (0.21%).

The speeches … why was Akufo-Addo so elated? And why was he laughing so hilariously? Taunting the losers? Had he won anything? No wonder; when Bawumia and his delegation visited Akufo-Addo, we “overheard” Bawumia saying; “I will need your help”; or perhaps we didn’t hear right?

Kudos to the Police. The man to watch now is Bryan Acheampong. His third-place position makes Bryan Acheampong, the MP for Abetifi, a force to reckon with in NPP matters.

Bryan swerved Mussa Dankwah’s projection of 13% by getting 18%. In the Volta Region, for example, he won with 5,234 votes against Dr Bawumia’s 4,093 votes; and Keta Constituency gave him 269 votes as against Bawumia’s 241. Immediately after the polls, Bryan conceded defeat and congratulated Dr Bawumia, pledging his “full support” for the winner ahead of 2028.

Just like Mussa Dankwah, Prophet Nigel Gaisie also put his credibility on the line, predicting a win for Bawumia. He claimed that Ken was originally the person to win the primaries but the lamentations of some prayerful men had “reached God”, hence the result? As for the result from Afenyo-Markin’s Effutu Constituency (Ken 644; Bawumia: 246), the less said about it the better.

You may recall Kwabena Owusu (Sir John’s) “Fear Delegates”, not ghosts” after losing the 2014 NPP election for General Secretary to Kwadwo Owusu Afriyie (Sir John). The man is gone, so let us forget the loss of GH₵250,000 legal suit to Asiedu Nketia who hoped to use the money to build a house and name it; “Kwasea bi nti” (because of some foolishman). You could mock Prof Smart Sarpong of Kumasi Technical University for his failed projections (alluding to a win for Bawumia in the 2024 elections).

Abronye says from his Ohia TV programme, that he intends to form the Poor People’s Party to challenge the rich people in NPP (indirect reference to “showdown” man, Kennedy Agyapong). He, Abronye repeats that, despite the urge for party unity, his ‘reconciliation with fellow aspirant, Kennedy Agyapong is unattainable’. Attah Amponsah intones: “NPP will fall down because of this boy; he needs to be tamed.” Ken says at KSMshow he has been betrayed by people he had helped… he cannot forgive them…

El Bernard has, after the Bawumia win, apologised to Ghanaians for a “wrong” prophecy: “I was wrong and deeply sorry… I accept my mistake… Those KENnected should start jubulating.

Meanwhile, Dr Bawumia is preaching unity: “Have confidence in me… we will meet NDC mano-a-mano… Opanin Agyekum: “Sotoro mmienu ye ani-han-hanee… the losing contestants have over-spent. There is the need for “healing” words.

K.T. Hammond, once a brother to Kennedy Agyapong bitterly talks about the rift between him and Ken Agyapong Kwabena Agyapong would, on Asaase Radio, to say: “I have to check myself, but seek to correct a falsehood because his (Kennedy Agyapong’s) theatrics are too much…” NDC is waiting; so is Alan Kyerematen…

We say with William Wordsworth in Tintern Abbey, “… neither evil tongues, Rash judgments, nor the sneers of selfish men, nor greetings where no kindness is, nor all the dreary intercourse of daily life, shall e’er prevail against us, or disturb Our cheerful faith, that all which we behold is full of blessing.”, and we go to sleep soundly.
