I don’t believe

I don’t believe that God is dead.

The Earth is filled with His glory.

My final report on our incredible boating adventure

We left Morehead City, NC at 1:30am on Sunday morning May 17, 2009.

About 2:30am we entered the area called the “Knuckle” off the coast of Cape
Lookout, NC. We were struck by a huge 12 foot wave. Praise the Lord! Our
50 foot EastBay Motor Yacht did not get swamped. Our dinghy was damaged.
About 4 hours later we lost our Port Engine. We were forced to limp into
Cape Hatteras, NC on one engine. This is not an easy task, but our Captain
Phil Smith was up to the task. We secured our vessel in Teach’s Marina with many lines because of the
approaching front and the accompanying rain and high winds.

We left Cape Hatteras at 1:00pm. We hired a local driver to take us to the
Norfolk Airport, a 3 hour trip by car. In Norfolk we picked up our rental
car at 4:35pm and began our journey back to Hilton Head Island. At 12:30am
Monday morning we arrived at home.

We give praise, honor, and glory to Jesus for our protection and our
provision during our travels.

We arrived at Moorhead City Marina at 11:30pm on Saturday night. They are having problems getting the fuel pump started. Praise the Lord! The fueling has begun!

Please pray that we make it around Cape Hatteras at 4:00am Sunday morning.

A stone to stumble over

benkwardlaw — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:27:29 +0000

Look! I am putting a stone in Zion to stumble over, and a rock to trip over, yet the one who trusts on Him will not be put to shame.

Place your trust in Jesus. You will find life in Him.

Amen

I am persuaded

benkwardlaw — Fri, 15 May 2009 15:11:42 +0000

I am persuaded that neither death nor life, nor angels nor rulers, nor things present, nor things to come, nor powers, nor height, nor depth, nor any other created thing will have the power to separate us from the love of God that is in Jesus our Lord.

Amen
