Are You Drifting? 3

Hebrews 2:1, “Therefore we ought to give the more earnest heed to the things which we have heard, lest at any time we should let them slip.”

The next truth about drifting should scare the stuffing out of us all.  Here it is.  By the time you hear the waterfalls it is too late. How many times have you watched some movie and someone is drifting along and then you hear the sound of the falls.  I had the pleasure of going to the Upper Peninsula of Michigan at the beginning of the month.  We photographed many beautiful places.  The one place I remember the most was the Taquahmanan falls.  I took a video of the falls.  The water was cascading and unbelievable gallons per hour.  The thing I remember the most is the sound of those falls.  It sounded even more majestic and powerful then they truly were.  Many people were captivated by them.

In a tourist situation the sound of the falls is a beautiful and relaxing sound.  When you are in a boat on the water the sound is far different.  As I write this my heart sinks just thinking about it.  Life has seen many casualties because they drifted and when they heard the sound of the falls it was too late.

So, how are you doing?
