Ship Of State

     In an effort to maintain some degree of sanity I try not to read the newspaper, listen to radio, watch TV or read emails that vilify the villain.  But still I am not completely sealed off from the outside world and somehow all the unavoidable information that produces anxiety and depression seems to creep into my little planet.

     I have a weird feeling of being on the USS Titanic where the captain has thrown all caution to the wind, ignored any prudent judgment and retired to his cabin steaming full speed ahead under the delusion that the ship is unsinkable.  My fear is not that the ship of state has far too few liferafts but that it has absolutely none.  Informed or uninformed, whether booked 1st class or steerage...it matters not…I dread we will all be treading water soon enough.

     Jesus Christ is the only hope of maintaining sanity in a sea of insanity. So I will continue searching for the narrow gate…traveling the road less traveled and trying not to get run over crossing the information super highway.

Dear Lord Jesus,

You are the one who keeps me afloat.

In you I place my hope.

Thanks for all you do.

Amen.
