Violent Storm

 

July 16

 I am preoccupied with shell fishing when a crack of thunder startles me. I prepare to leave, but my motor won’t start. The sky is black. Here is a college kid in an open boat, no radio, no flares, no horn.

 A commercial fisherman approaches. All he says is, "need a tow?"  He throws me a rope. I sit,soaked and shivering with lightening all about. There is nothing I can do but leave it in God’s hands. This moment gave  me an appreciation for the apostles who awakened Jesus during a violent storm.

 

After rebuking the wind and waves Jesus said to them, ‘Why are you so fearful?How is it you have no faith?” (Mark 4:40)
