HOLD ON!

NANCY ROBISON

A few years ago, my husband and I were invited for a lovely day of sailing, and I was looking forward to taking pictures of sea lions and boats. The skipper of the sailing boat we were on made it very clear to "hold on" whenever moving about the boat, for the motion of the sea can upset a boat abruptly when it's least expected, and a fall might be disastrous.

I halfway listened and nodded, "No problem." Having been on many boats on every type of rolling sea, I felt sure I could take care of myself. Then the skipper took my camera away and put it in the cabin below, stating that I wouldn't need it. I wondered why he'd done this. Was he afraid I would lose it overboard? It was a very calm day. What could happen? I figured he didn't understand that I could very well take pictures without even leaving my seat.

So, I went below to the cabin to get my camera, when suddenly the boat lurched and I lost my footing. Up in the air I went and landed on my back across the edge of a wooden bench. The first thought that came was, "You have broken your back. Now what are you going to do?" But, "Wait a minute," I argued. "This is not true of God, so it cannot be true of His reflection and that is what I truly am."
