I heard a story in church today that I really wanted to share. You can take from it what you will, but it made me laugh and hopefully, it will make you think. It’s about pride.
A ship is at sea, and realizes it is on a collision course with another vessel. The ship radios the vessel, and requests that they change course, 10 degrees South.
The vessel responds: No. You move 10 degrees North.
Angry, the ship responds. I am a Captain. Change your course, 10 degrees South.
The vessel responds. I am a Navy Seaman, First Class. Change your course 10 degrees North.
Furious and offended, the ship responds. I am a battleship. Change your course 10 degrees South!
The vessel responds. Change your course 10 degrees North. I am a lighthouse.
Heeheeh.... :) "May day! May Day! We are sinking!!"
