Did you know?

King Henry VIII, who is reputed to have been a regular visitor to Erwarton Hall to see Anne Boleyn, slept with a gigantic axe beside him. This wasn't the only lethal weapon the king with six wives owned, as he had a huge collection of weapons, which included 6,500 handguns.

Riddle: 

I am something people love or hate. I change people's appearances and thoughts. If a person takes care of them self I will go up even higher. To some I will fool them. To others I am a mystery. Some people might want to try and hide me but I will show. No matter how hard people try I will never go down. What am I?

Previous riddle answer:

I speak without a mouth and hear without ears. I have no body, but I come alive with wind. What am I?

In the absence of church services here is a hymn:

Eternal Father, strong to save,

Whose arm hath bound the restless wave,

Who bidd'st the mighty ocean deep

Its own appointed limits keep;

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,

For those in peril on the sea!

O Christ! Whose voice the waters heard

And hushed their raging at Thy word,

Who walkedst on the foaming deep,

And calm amidst its rage didst sleep;

Oh, hear us when we cry to Thee,

For those in peril on the sea!
