About midnight Paul and Silas were praying and singing hymns to God, and the other prisoners were listening to them. 26Suddenlya strongearthquakeshookthefoundationsof theprison.At onceallthedoorsflew openandeveryone’schainscame loose.27 When the jailer woke up and saw the prison doors open, he drew his sword and was about to kill himself, presuming that the prisoners had escaped. 28 But Paul called out in a loud voice, “Do not harm yourself!

Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee;
let the water and the blood, from thy wounded side which flowed, be of sin the double cure; save from wrath and make me pure.
Not the labors of my hands can fulfill thy law’s demands; could my zeal no respite know, could my tears forever flow, all for sin could not atone; thou must save, and thou alone.
Nothing in my hand I bring, simply to the cross I cling; naked, come to thee for dress; helpless, look to thee for grace; foul, I to the fountain fly; wash me, Savior, or I die.
While I draw this fleeting breath, when mine eyes shall close in death, when I soar to worlds unknown, see thee on thy judgment throne, Rock of Ages, cleft for me, let me hide myself in thee.
You will keep in perfect peace the steadfast of mind, because he trusts in You. 4 Trustin the LORDforever,becauseGODthe LORDis the Rocketernal.5 For He has humbled those who dwell on high; He lays the lofty city low. He brings it down to the ground; He casts it into the dust.
The side rooms were arranged one above another in three levels of thirty rooms each. There were ledges all around the wall of the temple to serve as supports for the side rooms, so that the supports would not be fastened into the wall of the temple itself.
La Sagrada Familia means “The Holy Family” in English. The church is designed to honor Jesus’ family, with towers representing him, his mother, the four evangelists, and the twelve apostles.
The Basílica i Temple Expiatori de la Sagrada Família,[a] shortened as the Sagrada Família, is an unfinished church in the Eixample district of Barcelona, Catalonia, Spain.
It is the largest unfinished Catholic church in the world. Designed by architect Antoni Gaudí (1852–1926), his work on Sagrada Família is part of a UNESCOWorld Heritage Site.[7]
On 19 March 1882, construction of the Sagrada Família began under architect Francisco de Paula del Villar. In 1883, when Villar resigned,[7]
Gaudí took over as chief architect, transforming the project with his architectural and engineering style, combining Gothic and curvilinear Art Nouveau forms.
Gaudí devoted the remainder of his life to the project, and he is buried in the church’s crypt. At the time of his death in 1926, less than a quarter of the project was complete.
Relying solely on private donations, the Sagrada Família’s construction progressed slowly and was interrupted by the Spanish Civil War.
La Sagrada Familia
In July 1936, anarchists from the FAI set fire to the crypt and broke their way into the workshop, partially destroying Gaudí’s original plans.[12]
In 1939, Francesc de Paula Quintana took over site management, which was able to go on due to the material that was saved from Gaudí’s workshop and that was reconstructed from published plans and photographs.[13]
Construction resumed to intermittent progress in the 1950s.
Advancements in technologies such as computer-aided design and computerised numerical control (CNC) have since enabled faster progress and construction passed the midpoint in 2010.
However, some of the project’s greatest challenges remain, including the construction of ten more spires, each symbolising an important Biblical figure in the New Testament.[11]
It was anticipated that the building would be completed by 2026, the centenary of Gaudí’s death,[14] but this has now been delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
Describing the Sagrada Família, art critic Rainer Zerbst said “it is probably impossible to find a church building anything like it in the entire history of art”,[16] and Paul Goldberger describes it as “the most extraordinary personal interpretation of Gothic architecture since the Middle Ages”.[17]

Rhyme or reasondescribes whether something makes sense, poetically or logically; or an absence of common sense or reasonableness.
Shakespeare made the phrase popular, using it in his play The Comedy of Errors, written in 1590: “Was there ever any man thus beaten out of season, When in the why and the wherefore is neither rhyme nor reason?”
And now He has revealed this grace through the appearing of our Savior, Christ Jesus, who has abolished death and illuminated the way to life and immortality through the gospel, 11 towhichIwas appointedas a preacher,an apostle,anda teacher.
12 For this reason, even though I suffer as I do, I am not ashamed; for I know whom I have believed, and I am convinced that He is able to guard what I have entrusted to Him for that day.
The Real Thing
Snow White is so pure, smell her line I know for sure.
With my blade I cut the line, I try to make it oh so fine.
Her effects give me a peak, a sensation that I seek.
A little taste numbs my lip , and reminds me of the drip.
Such a pleasure I can’t forsake, and a risk I like to take.
All her beauty I adore, I can’t get enough, I need more.
6 For this reason I remind you to fan into flame the gift of God, which is in you through the laying on of my hands. 7 For God has not given us a spirit of fear, but of power, love, and self-control.
In younger Days, I knew the Plays, to locate the Hays, on which to Graze, my eyes were a Glaze, my brain in a Daze, my body it Lays, catching the Rays, I’ve mastered the Maze, of that hazy Phase, no longer I Laze, ’cause a clean life Pays, this sincerely Conveys, a poem that Portrays, a tired old Craze, of David E. Ways.

Never again will the waters become a flood to destroy all life.
But in those days, after that tribulation: ‘The sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light; 25thestarswillfallfromthesky,andthepowersoftheheavenswill be shaken.’26 At that time they will see the Son of Man coming in the clouds with great power and glory.
