If only they'd responded


When the RMS Titanic began sending out distress signals, the SS Californian, rather than the Carpathia, was the closest ship; yet the Californian did not respond until it was much too late to help. At 12:45 a.m. On April 15, 1912, crew members on the Californian saw mysterious lights in the sky (the distress flares sent up from the Titanic) and woke up their captain to tell him about it. Many people believe that if the Californian had responded to the Titanic's pleas for help, many more lives could have been saved.

Wow that's sad and scary at the same time! Close enough to see but too lazy to do anything about it. Isn't that a symptom of the decayed society we live in today. We are all so wrapped up in our own dilemma's that we don't even take notice when somebody else around us is hurting.

Let us take the time to think of and remember those around us that are hurting and pray for God to move in their lives. As we give the gift of interceding prayer God will bless us with prayers answered!
