A battleship vs a lighthouse
Image via Wikipedia By Dr James Dobson A lookout on a battleship reported light in the distance, so the captain had the signalman send a message, “We’re on a collision course . Advise you change your course 20 degrees.” Minutes later a signal came back, “Advisable for you to change your course.” The captain angrily ordered that another signal be sent, “I’m a captain. Change course 20 degrees.” Again came the reply, “I’m a seaman, second class. You’d better change your course.” Furious by this point, the captain barked a final threat, “I’m a battleship! Change your course!” The signal came back, “I’m a lighthouse .” The captain changed his course. It is foolhardy to ignore the beacons that warn us of danger. They come in various forms: Symptoms of health problems, prolonged marital conflict, rebellious children, excessive debt, stress, etc. These are the warning signs of approaching danger.
