RIDE THE STORM WITH A FRIEND
A fisherman was once in his boat off the coast of Alaska where the tides vary up to 25 feet. The tide was going out fast and he was too close to the shore. His boat got stuck on the rocky ocean bottom. It was rocking back and forth and would break apart shortly, destroying his whole livelihood. A fellow fisherman further out to sea saw his plight. Without hesitation, he drove his boat alongside the mired boat and threw lines to the other boat, lashing them together catamaran fashion so that both boats could ride out the low tide together without rocking back and forth. When high tide returned, they could both back off to safer, deeper water and go their way. May we also be willing to lash ourselves to others who are in distress and ride out the storm with them that they might know that God is alive in the world.
