Wrecked ship in the foothills?
Published: Wed, 07/26/23
I was just taking a hike just to get some exercise and suddenly
I saw an old wrecked sailing ship from 100 years ago just sitting half
buried in the ground in front of me?

It was really weird (to say the least!)
It’s sails were ripped and torn and the mast was sticking diagonal, high
into the sky.
The ships front bow sprit was like a spear pointing into the air in
front of me.
As I walked around it, I could see the deck house’s door was open and
mysteriously dark inside and oddly spooky.
The deck laid slanted and slippery looking.
What was even weirder were the jagged rocks jutting out of the dirt near
the stern, giving the idea that the ship had run aground on them ...
(...at one time when the ocean waves crashed here??)
The idea left me feeling completely bewildered.
”how could this be?” I wondered think.
The idea of a ship here is in fact crazy!
But that’s only the beginning!
As I looked down to see if there is a way onto the ship, I could see a
ship journal open on the grassy ground nearby.
I went over and opened it. There was the date of 1926 and last
entry of a sailor written on it in smudged almost unreadable words:
“Our ship is surely lost...I don’t think I will make it...I love...”
(Then below that is a strange message, I suspect written by someone
else):
“destroyer of the innocent...” It says. I blinked and then look away in
disbelief and fear.
“How can this be real?” I wondered.
I looked again at the ship and into the open doorway of the cabin and
couldn’t help but feel something strange and dark lurking within.
I climbed a big rock at the back to jump aboard and the second I did,
I could hear something hissing or crying. It was weird! If I was to say
honestly how I felt at that moment, it sounded like the the cries of
innocent souls crying out for me to save them.
Then I woke up. (Haha!)
Ok I hope you liked that high dive into our imagination.
Here’s the point:
Life is more than just about going to work and coming home and
watching tv.
Seize this moment and listen for the voices in your heart pointing
you forward to something greater!
Pointing you forward to a life well lived, a life of faithfulness and courage.
A life of risk (yet with some balance) and yet committed to bringing more
life to yourself and the ones you love.

working for a dead end job (then just existing...you know!)
