  The pilgrims encountered Fengxian County where people had been suffering drought for three years. The county magistrate issued a notice to recruit masters to summon rain. The monkey accepted the challenge and asked a dragon king for help, but the latter dared not help without an order from the Jade Emperor. Then the monkey went to the Jade Emperor but was told that the magistrate had offended Heaven, so the county would have no rain until a mountain of rice, a mountain of flour, and a gold lock collapsed. The news dispirited the monkey until deities told him that kindness was a mighty power that could destroythe mountains and break the lock. The monkey returned to the mortal world and instructed the magistrate to heal his soul. The rice and flour mountains and the gold lock collapsed immediately. The Jade Emperor then ordered the deities of rain, clouds, and wind to deliver rain to Fengxian County, driving away the prolonged drought.

  Twas the Night Before Christmas has been called "arguably the best-known verses ever written by an American" and is largely responsible for some of the conceptions of Santa Claus from the mid-nineteenth century to today. It has had a massive effect on the history of Christmas gift-giving. Before the poem gained wide popularity, American ideas had varied considerably about Saint Nicholas and other Christmastide visitors. A Visit from St. Nicholas eventually was set to music and has been recorded by many artists.Produced by Macc KayProduction executive Avalon GiulianoICON Intern Eden Garret Giuliano©2021 Eden Garret Giuliano (P) 2021 Eden Garret GiulianoGeoffrey Giuliano is the author of over thirty internationally bestselling biographies, including the London Sunday Times bestseller 'Blackbird: The Life and Times of Paul McCartney' and 'Dark Horse: The Private Life of George Harrison'.

  No Chance After Death – The...

  Are you ready to stand before the Just Judge? 
  Are you ready to give an account for every word, every thought, every intention? 
  In this powerful sermon, Pope Shenouda III, former Coptic Orthodox Pope and one of the most revered voices in modern Christian history—known by many as "the Golden Mouth"—speaks about one of the most critical themes of all spiritual life: 
  Death and Judgment. 
  🕯️ While we love to speak of God's love… His mercy… and His forgiveness… 
  There’s another attribute of God that cannot be ignored: 
  God the Righteous Judge. 
  "It is a fearful thing to fall into the hands of the living God." (Hebrews 10:31) 
  "Give an account of your stewardship, for you can no longer be steward." (Luke 16:2) 
  📌 Why Should You Reflect on Death and Judgment? 
  Because in today’s world, death no longer has an age. 
  A child may die before the elder. 
  The rich may perish in the height of their success. 
  So many are distracted by pleasure, work, or entertainment, unaware that eternity draws near. 
  Remember the parable of the rich fool: 
  “You have many goods laid up for many years; take your ease, eat, drink, and be merry.” 
  But God said to him: 
  “You fool! This night your soul will be required of you.” (Luke 12:20) 
  📖 Death Reveals. Judgment Evaluates. 
  In that hour: 
  The books are opened 
  The works are exposed 
  The thoughts are examined 
  There is no escape, no mediator, unless you’ve lived in true repentance. 
  ✝️ How Can You Prepare for Death and Judgment? 
  1️⃣ Examine Yourself Daily: 
  2️⃣ Live in Ongoing Repentance: 
  3️⃣ Pursue Holiness on Earth to Live it in Heaven: 
  “Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.” (Matthew 5:8)
