Good Morning,
There is a hot mug of Door County Caramel Pecan Scones Coffee steaming in front of me and it is time to write.
Just because you can do something doesn't make it right. This past week, we all were made aware of the group that attempted to travel by deep sea submarine to observe the Titanic in it's resting place. We watched and prayed after we heard that communications were lost to the submarine. A large effort was made by many sources to find and rescue the sub and it's occupants. Yesterday we learned that the sub had imploded and those aboard were lost. My heart goes out to the families of those who died.
The Titanic has always been a source of wonder and as of late exploration. On April 14th, 1912 the Titanic hit an iceberg and sank to the bottom of the Atlantic Ocean. September 1st 1985 the Titanic was found and filmed lying on the ocean floor. There have been movies about the tragedy as well as many documentaries. No bodies or skeletons have been found that the site. I have watched a few of the documentaries and they are very interesting. Yet while doing so, I feel like I have invaded someone's grave. I for one have seen enough and actually feel bad now that the sea has claimed more lives and the watery grave holds 5 more. I think anything we could learn from the original sinking has been learned. Now it is time to seal the "grave" and stop the commercial traffic going to the site.
Folks a thought for this Friday. Just because you can, doesn't mean you should. What things are legal for you, yet wrong for you? You know your own list. What needs to be removed?
1 Corinthians 6:12 All things are lawful for me. But not all things are helpful.
