The story of Noah and the flood isn’t about a boat filled with animals, nor actual rising waters on the Earth. If you take the story literally it loses its meaning, it is stripped of its power! The story is about our own inner selves, it is about not being responsible and not taking care of our business properly. It’s about not being prepared for tragedy when we know it is coming… There is a storm coming that we cannot stop. But, if we prepare, we may be able to ride it out. I am building an ark. Sending a letter to my father is building an ark. Reaching out to a long lost friend is building an ark. Putting my priorities in proper order is building an arc. Looking deep within and trying to be a better person day-to-day is building an ark. Travesty and catastrophe and pain are coming. They are coming for us all, in so many ways. The story of Noah in the beginning of the Bible is true. Are you building an ark?
