Dolphins to the Rescue…against Pirates?!

Dolphins to the Rescue…against Pirates?!

Aimee Herd (April 16, 2009)

Since we know God used a donkey to warn Balaam, and a fish to pay taxes, I guess we shouldn't be surprised by the help of dolphins!

Americans breathed a collective sigh of relief this past Sunday, in light of the daring and precise actions by US Navy Seals to rescue Captain Richard Phillips who was being held hostage at gunpoint by Somali pirates.

But the US Navy isn't the only force trying to ward off these terrorist attacks… dolphins are also lending a hand—or a fin, as the case may be.

According to a report by CRI.com, a Chinese merchant ship, which was traveling the same treacherous Gulf of Aden as the Maersk Alabama ship had, appeared to be coming under attack by Somali pirates in small boats.

However, as the pirates drew closer, thousands of dolphins suddenly began leaping out and back into the water—the dolphins were directly in between the pirates and the ship, preventing the terrorists from moving any nearer to the vessel.

The CRI.com report stated: "The suspected pirates' [boats] stopped and then turned away. The pirates could only lament their littleness before the vast number of dolphins. The spectacular scene continued for a while."

Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box

Over 2 Million Red Envelopes Reach White House Mail Box

"Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all."

(Washington, DC)—Toward the end of February an idea, which originated from C. Otto, began circulating the internet. The Red Envelope Project, as it has come to be known, involved sending an empty red envelope to President Obama at the White House on the last day of March to represent a child killed through abortion.

Each red envelope was to be printed on the back with the words: "This envelope represents one child who died in abortion. It is empty because that life was unable to offer anything to the world. Responsibility begins with conception."

According to a recent update from Chelsea Schilling on WorldNetDaily.com, the White House not only received red envelopes, but they were "deluged" with 2.25 million of them in the massive grass-roots campaign.

The worker at the White House who reportedly has taken care of letters addressed to 1600 Pennsylvania Ave. for over 30 years told WND, "Quite frankly, there was definitely a deluge of mail coming through. I had to handle them all."

He added, "I've been here 35 years, so I've seen presidents come and go… This campaign ranks up there with the big ones."

Fargo Couple's "Prophetic" Wedding Invitation

"Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away."

(Fargo, ND)—The AP reports that newlywed couple, Nathan and Brittney Aakre believe their marriage last week was "prophesied" months earlier when they sent out their invitations. The scripture printed on their invitations was from the Song of Solomon: "Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away."

According to the report, they were supposed to be married at Fargo's First Assembly of God Church, but when the Red River flooded, they had to find a local hotel to accomodate their wedding. 

The bride's father, Reverend Cal Thompson, who married the couple, is reportedly convinced that their invitations were, indeed, prophetic.
