Journeys in Faith
The captain on the bridge of a large vessel saw a light ahead on a collision course.
He signaled, “Alter your course 10 degrees south.”
The reply came back, “Alter your course ten degrees north.”
The captain then signaled, “Alter your course 10 degrees south. I am a captain.”
The reply: “Alter your course 10 degrees north. I am a seaman third-class.”
The furious captain signaled, “Alter your course 10 degrees south. I am a battleship.”
The reply: “Alter your course 10 degrees north. I am a lighthouse.”
