Mark and I signed up for a little two hour Cruise down by Cumberland Island. Our boat was suppose to depart at 2:30 sharp on Friday afternoon. We were in a "new area" that we knew next to nothing about. Obviously, many other of the passengers were in the same boat we were in. In fact, there were two groups of people all waiting for the same Cruise. Both groups were certain they were in the right place waiting to board.
After talking to people in both groups I decided I would go directly to the office and ask them where I should wait. As it turned out neither group was right. I was introduced to the captain and told to follow him to get on board. Walking by the two different groups I told them this is our captain. Some listened and followed, others stayed where they thought they should wait.
Life is full of choices, but we all should choose wisely. Eternity is a long time, we need to find the One and only way to God the Father-through Jesus the Son. If you haven't found Him yet, please read the book of John.
Read: John chapter 3
