Other Little Ships: Coming Soon! Among the Sweetest

Coming Soon! Among the Sweetest

In 1985 I wrote and published my first book. I was concluding my service as the pastor of the Vannadale Baptist Church in Vanndale, Arkansas, and I presented this book to the church on the occasion of our paying off our debt before my departure.

I still have several copies of the original publication, but until now there has not been a digital edition.

I am still very happy with the work that I did on this initial effort and am glad to make it available to present and past members of the VBC.

I hope that this republication opens the door to reconnecting with many of our old friends from Arkansas!

Mark 4:35-41

35 And the same day, when the even was come, he saith unto them, Let us pass over unto the other side.
36 And when they had sent away the multitude, they took him even as he was in the ship. And there were also with him other little ships.
37 And there arose a great storm of wind, and the waves beat into the ship, so that it was now full.
38 And he was in the hinder part of the ship, asleep on a pillow: and they awake him, and say unto him, Master, carest thou not that we perish?
39 And he arose, and rebuked the wind, and said unto the sea, Peace, be still. And the wind ceased, and there was a great calm.
40 And he said unto them, Why are ye so fearful? how is it that ye have no faith?
41 And they feared exceedingly, and said one to another, What manner of man is this, that even the wind and the sea obey him?

When I began writing many years ago, I self-published everything that I produced under the auspices of "Other Little Ships," (in reference to the miracle of Jesus calming the storm in Mark 4:35-41, where Mark mentions that there were "other little ships" involved in this familiar story).

It has always interested me that in this larger-than-life miracle story there were "little people" in the background, behind the scenes, under the radar.

I've always been more than happy to just get honorable mention in anything that God is doing. I'm proud to be sailing in one of those other little ships as long as I can be a small part of the story.
