My flipper is coming off and I’m only half-way across the river. It’s still the spring of the year and the water’s high. At the time, I was probably eleven. I never feared water, but this was my first experience with flippers and something was going wrong down south. I had enough Irish I would have fought the current to the bitter end to save that flipper.
It was just a flipper. Why did I take such a chance? It seems so foolish now.
The Bible doesn’t mention saving flippers. It doesn’t mention saving the lousewort (That’s an endangered plant which stopped a dam from being built.), condors or even the planet. However, it does say a lot about saving souls. Here’s an example:
Romans 10:1
Brothers, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved.
Try and save the eternal things and don’t get too excited about the temporary things of this life.
Give it some thought.
