To Sue in Cuba, KS… I read your post last week under John 10… a sermon of yours from 1999 in which you cited an event that took place in a 1993 Seeds of Peace camp experience. I tried to locate the Guideposts article that you referenced by subscribing to their on-line archives, but had no luck. Any chance you have any additional info that might help me out? If you do and are willing to respond you can email me at revbeth@hixon-mai.com. Thanks for sharing that sermon and the illustration.

Messenger of Peace
I wonder how many times Noah and his family prayed a prayer similar to this one. The 150 days at sea must have been very frightening at times. Yet those on board the Ark must have had faith in the LORD their God. I find a new kind of ark here. God has built it for those who take refuge in Him. He is in the midst of the city where we are in danger and he hears the voice of those who call to him. He saves them.
I was afraid and I cried to the Lord my God. I thought that I had been driven from his sight. I thought that He could not see me anymore. But I was wrong; morning dawned and there He rescued me. Be strong o you saints as you go through the darkness of your lives. Hold on to his hand even though you can not see. Let him guide you through the darkness. When you aren't sure - let your heart take courage and wait on the Lord
