This journey, and blog, begins after I read about Magellean's Ship....
"Magellan and his men explored many islands and did so without opposition from the natives living there, who might have been expected to climb into their dugout canoes and launch a full-scale attack on these strange looking sailors as dangerous interlopers, but instead welcomed them with open arms. The reason? When native lookouts first spotted Magellan's ship, they didn't know what they were looking at.They had never seen anything so huge and so majestic carrying people on water before. The gigantic ships, with their enormous masts and sails fully billowed, were so far outside of the experience of these island natives that they had no point of reference from which to even begin to consider what these vessels might be. They anchored their canoes, laid down their spears in awe, and welcomed Magellan and his men as gods.
This is the Magellan's Ship Syndrome - a phenomenon that occurs when what one is looking at is so far from one's experience, that person literally doesn't know what to make of it.
I believe THIS for my life. I belive THIS is what God intends for my life.... Am I crazy? You might think so as you continue to read of this journey that I am on, and maybe I am, but what an adventure it is going to be!
