A Whale Of A Disaster
By Mark Flippo
A couple who took a yacht for a quiet sailing trip was stunned when a 40-ton whale crash-landed on their boat off Cape Town. The pair was enjoying calm seas off the South African coast when the animal flipped into the air and smashed into their mast. Ralph Mothes, 59, and Paloma Werner, 50, were helpless as the beast thrashed around on their 33 ft vessel before slipping back into the water. There were bits of skin and blubber left behind, and the mast was wrecked. It brought down the rigging too. Thank goodness the hull was made of steel and not fiberglass or we could have been ruined”.
When a problem rears it's ugly head you have to meet it head on. These people made it through and lived to tell about it. How many times do you know people that had a disaster come their way and they let it destroy them? I know a man that had to have a colostomy and it weighted on his mind so bad he committed suicide!
He was only in his thirties. It breaks my heart to hear these kind of stories over and over again. How many have you heard of that involved someone you knew that killed themselves rather that to deal with the situation with God's help and making it through it?
He could have had a testimony but he left his wife and kids with no father because of that fateful decision! Don't leave a legacy of sadness. Don't be remembered that you were the one that did not get God's help to deal with pain! Love you! Let God change your disaster to Praise!
