Snakehead

I am reading a new book by Anthony Horowitz, it is in the Alex Rider series and is about a teenage spy named Alex Rider, Alex is a teenager who finds out that his Dad, Uncle and Godfather were spies, and MI6 forces Alex to work for them.

That was what happened in the first book, this is the seventh book and in this one Alex meets up with his Godfather and ASIS to stop a large criminal organization called Scorpia from killing 8 rich men who are having a meeting to sue for world peace.

Alex has to contend with a large people smuggling ring called a snakehead (hence the name), he also has to pretend to be a refugee and be smuggled into Australia from Bangkok.

Religion

My religion for today was all about Mary, in this chapter it said that Mary was prepared for Jesus and was made into "the new Ark of th covenant."

This chapter also said that as the mother of Jesus, Mary had several privileges, two of these privilees are: Free from orignal sin, Mary was conceived and born without original sin, this meant that Mary was the only person bsides Jesus to be born withouit original sin, this miracle is called the immaculate conception.

Another privilege that Mary was gifted with is the gift of Assumption into heaven, this means that Mary was assumed (hence the name) body and soul into heaven. when we die, our body and soul are seperated until the end of the world, when our bodies and souls and will be reunited.
