   "The ship in which he embarked, and which was tempest-tossed, is this brief   
   and hard life in the present time. Just as though we had turned and removed   
   from that blessed and secure life, to that which was most tempestuous and   
   unstable, as from solid land to a ship. For what a ship is to the land,   
   that our present life is to eternal life."

   "Now, therefore," says the Lord, "Turn to Me with all your heart, With   
   fasting, with weeping, and with mourning."  Joel 2:12   
      
   Draw nigh unto God and He will draw nigh unto you.
