Anchors

I heard a story recently about an old crusty sea captain trying to teach a new seaman the "ways of the sea." The story went something like this...

Captain: "ok, there's a storm coming! What do you do?"

Seaman: "throw out an anchor!"

Captain: "good. There's another storm coming! What do you do?"

Seaman: "throw out another anchor!"

Captain: "good....OH NO, HERE COMES ANOTHER STORM!! What do you do?"

Seaman: "I throw out another anchor!!!"

Captain: "THERE'S ANOTHER STORM!!! NOW WHAT DO YOU DO?"

Seaman: "I throw out another anchor!!!"

Captain: "WHERE ARE YOU GETTING ALL THESE ANCHORS?"

Seaman: "WHERE ARE YOU GETTING ALL THESE STORMS?"

You've got to wonder where all the storms have come from these past few months. And just when we think the wind and rain is letting up, here comes the blow again.

There's a song by Ray Boltz titled The Anchor Holds.

How's your anchor holding? What are you anchored to?

Let's all be sure it's anchored to Rock and not sand.


God Bless,

Danny
