Guest guest Posted January 31, 2008 Report Share Posted January 31, 2008 Dear Sai Devotees, In this week's eChat, we will read about a true incident from the world war II era.... --------------------------- A passenger ship set sail from Great Britain headed for port in New York City. The Captain of the ship being afraid of enemy vessels, sought the advise and guidance of the British Admiral. The Admiral calmly assured the captain that no matter what happens, he should be sure to sail his ship straight ahead. "Do not take any detours -- sail the ship straight ahead -- continue on-ward, heading straight towards the intended mark" he said. After several days of sailing across the Atlantic Ocean which was undeniably filled with submarines and enemy vessels of all kinds, the Captain spotted an enemy destroyer off his forward bow. Nervously he grasped the handset and called for assistance. The calm voice replied, "Keep on straight, Do not detour, just sail the ship straight ahead. Everything will be just fine. Just keep on going - straight ahead." After a couple of more days the ship pulled safely into the harbor of New York city. The Captain realized that while he did not see the British battleship, she was there, standing by...ready to come to his defense should it prove necessary. So it is in our lives. God is standing by. We may not always feel Him, but He is following us onward toward the mark... ------------------ Keep your ship on course. Keep on going - straight ahead... OM SAI RAM!
