 Hurricane
Ivan created havoc all across the Caribbean and the
coast of Alabama in September of 2004. One product of
the hurricane was the largest wave ever recorded by
oceanographers at 91 ft. high. Can you imagine seeing a
10 story wave coming your way?
Experts say the best thing to do if you
find yourself in a boat with a large wave coming your
way is attack it head on. Don’t wait for the wave to
come and cause you to roll over. Ronald Warwick,
captain of the Queen Elizabeth 2, steered his ship into
a huge wave estimated at over 95 ft. high on September
11, 1995. 2200 passengers and crew survived the menace
created by Hurricane Luis because the captain took the
wave over the bow.
When circumstances come your way that are
as overwhelming as giant hurricane waves, realize there
may not be anything you can do to stop it, but you can
survive it. Every family needs a captain! Steer your
ship! “For God has not given us a spirit of timidity,
but of power and love and discipline” (2 Timothy 1:7). |
