Linda and Lee bought a forty-foot sailboat and lived aboard it sailing from Alaska to Mexico and back again for five years. They had beautiful days and also experienced some stormy weather.
Linda recalls one terrifying moment as they were sailing south. It was a moonlit night when a sudden storm struck after midnight. The waves were rising thirty feet. Linda was trying her best while Lee slept below.
"I had my safety harness on and was doing my best to keep a steady course," Linda recalls, "when suddenly the hair on the back of my neck stood up and I felt this terrible sense of danger." She turned to see in the midst of a thirty-foot wave a great white shark.
She screamed, which woke her husband. By the time Lee stumbled to the deck the shark was gone, under the water. At first Lee did not believe her, until the next day when other sailors reported seeing the shark.
The events of Holy Week were frightening to the disciples. Some time later they were able to better understand all that had taken place as they witnessed to others, "They put him to death by hanging him on a tree," Peter preached, "but God raised him on the third day and allowed him to appear, not to all the people but to us who were chosen by God as witnesses." The apostles were eyewitnesses; they saw the risen Christ with their own eyes. Their witness was compelling enough that others believed them.
