A few thoughts about a sinking ship:
I think the analogy of a boat is more like a sinking ship. No matter where people were on the Titanic they were all in peril. There were not enough life boats to rescue everyone. People on the bow went first. The band played amid ships, and those left on the stern deck went down with a rush pulling them into the frozen depths. And all the while a few shocked souls watched in horror as their loved ones took a last breath. Yes, some of us are still working, sustained by a pay check. Some fall through the cracks, and depend on family to keep them afloat, and still we lose neighbors, friends, and family to this silent menace, but we are all on this sinking ship together no matter where we sit, stand, or view the horror of the carnage left behind in the wake of an iceberg barely visible from the surface. Take heart, and know that even in the worst of times we can all have faith to carry us to safer shores. Amen, and God Bless all!
