You cannot sink it


You cannot sink this boat …That sounded like a challenge to me …

While in Florida one Spring, I rented a small “Boston whaler” … to cruise around in the bay for a few hours in the morning, other family members were still asleep in the condo, so I was alone. The boat owner said… if I can trip the boat over, it is a free rental… not only for that morning but forever! 
Now the stakes were high and I like a challenge even a crazy one, like was just placed before me … so I took the owner up on his offer and proceeded to race full throttle around the bay for over an hour … I would speed up and then turn sharp to one side or the other then try to do a fast figure 8 … I did everything and anything to tip that sucker … I was like the Evil Knievel of boats on that day … the owner followed me out on another boat just in case I did get myself into trouble and he laughed,  as he watched me do everything that I could other than punching a hole in boat to make it flip … finally I gave up …
But this reminds me of the “ship of salvation” ... Jesus Christ is Captain of that ship and nothing is going to sink it no matter what …   
     and a P.S.  ... thank you Jesus,  for not letting me kill myself that day ... for I did all those crazy moves without wearing a life jacket!!! 
and a thank you Jesus for all the other times, I tested your patience with my other crazy ass stunts and you did not let me drown! 

You once had two apostles, you called "the sons of thunder"... I be your "daughter of the tornado"
