OOPS!
By Mark Flippo
On October 5, 2011 the Rena ran aground near Tauranga, New Zealand, resulting in an oil spill. On January 8, 2012 the Rena broke in two after enduring heavy winds and seas overnight. By January 10, 2012 the stern section had sunk almost completely. The Rena was a 236-metre (774 ft) Panamax container ship with a container capacity of 3,351 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEU) in seven holds. Her breadth was 32.2 metres (106 ft), and fully laden she had a draught of 12 metres (39 ft). Her gross tonnage was 38,788, net tonnage 16,454 and deadweight tonnage 47,231 tonnes. The Rena was served by a crew of 20.
Have you ever had and oops moment in your life. Some are just bigger than others. This vessel ran aground. They did not have eyes to see everywhere around them. We do have God watching over us! He sees what we do not. If we will listen to that Still Small Voice He will guide us around the bad places in our lives. He can protect us if we will allow Him! They had a lot invested in this container ship, but lost it. What affects you affects your family. Don't lose your valuable cargo because you are not sensitive to His Voice!
