There I was a carefree college student alone, fishing from an open boat, totally oblivious to what was going on behind me. A flash of lightning and a loud crack startled me to reality. I immediately try to start my outboard but to no avail. Several more pulls. Nothing.
The winds came next with torrential rain. A good Samaritan came along in an open boat and offered a tow. Sitting in my lifeless skiff shivering with lightning flashing is indeed frightening. It gave me a new appreciation for how the disciples must have felt during a storm when they awakened Jesus.
"After rebuking the wind and waves," Jesus said to them, 'Why are you so fearful? How is it you
have no faith?" (Mark 4:40)
