  The Terrible Speed of Mercy - A...

  “Many of my ardent admirers would be roundly shocked and disturbed if they realized that everything I believe is thoroughly moral, thoroughly Catholic, and that it is these beliefs that give my work its chief characteristics.” 
  —Flannery O’Connor 
  Flannery O’Connor’s work has been described as “profane, blasphemous, and outrageous.” Her stories are peopled by a sordid caravan of murderers and thieves, prostitutes and bigots whose lives are punctuated by horror and sudden violence. But perhaps the most shocking thing about Flannery O’Connor’s fiction is the fact that it is shaped by a thoroughly Christian vision. If the world she depicts is dark and terrifying, it is also the place where grace makes itself known. Her world—our world—is the stage whereon the divine comedy plays out; the freakishness and violence in O’Connor’s stories, so often mistaken for a kind of misanthropy or even nihilism, turn out to be a call to mercy. 
  In this biography, Jonathan Rogers gets at the heart of O’Connor’s work. He follows the roots of her fervent Catholicism and traces the outlines of a life marked by illness and suffering, but ultimately defined by an irrepressible joy and even hilarity. In her stories, and in her life story, Flannery O’Connor extends a hand in the dark, warning and reassuring us of the terrible speed of mercy.

  The Valley of the Kings, one of the most iconic archaeological sites in the world, first captured the attention of explorers and scholars in the 18th century. Though long known to local inhabitants, it was not until European adventurers began systematically exploring Egypt that the valley's true significance came to light. These early explorers, driven by a mix of scholarly curiosity and treasure hunting, began mapping and cataloging the tombs they encountered in the barren hills west of the Nile. Among them were figures like Giovanni Belzoni and Howard Carter, whose efforts would lay the foundation for modern Egyptology. 
  The role of local communities, particularly the people of Qurna and other nearby villages, cannot be overlooked. Many locals worked closely with foreign archaeologists, guiding them through the rugged terrain and even assisting in excavations. Their intimate knowledge of the landscape proved invaluable. Some families, generation after generation, were involved in archaeological digs, and many tombs might have remained hidden much longer without their contributions. However, this collaboration also brought complex dynamics, especially regarding the protection of cultural heritage and the handling of newly uncovered treasures. 
  Transforming what seemed like a lifeless desert into a thriving center of discovery, the Valley soon became a symbol of ancient grandeur and mystery. The dry climate and remote location helped preserve many of the tombs, allowing researchers to uncover not only the resting places of kings but also the beliefs, rituals, and artistry of ancient Egypt. With each new find, the Valley revealed more about the powerful individuals buried there and the civilization they ruled.

  I was standing on my bed looking out of my bedroom window. The sky appeared gray and somber. I saw a young man with dark hair looking up, staring at me from the sidewalk. Then quick lightning flashed, striking him, leaving a small pile of charcoal-colored ashes on the sidewalk where he once stood... I awoke. I was surrounded by plastic drapes and hospital monitoring equipment. The air around me smelled like chicken soup and chemicals. They later told me it had been five months that Id been in a coma. I was wrapped in layers of white bandages. Third-degree burns covered almost 80 percent of my body. My journey was just beginning. The doctors painted a grim future for me. They told my mom that I would never walk again. Oftentimes, we can forget to be thankful for the small things. In her book Snatch Back, author Ruby Hayes recounts some of her most trying times and how God eventually took hold of her life and brought her back to the light. Hayes's book is a shining testimony to the fact that it is never to late to be relinquished from the devil. This is the book that Satan himself does not want published.
