It's December, and Advent is here! Chances are (if you're in the U.S.) you're just now fully recovering from the Thanksgiving holiday last week. But with Thanksgiving behind us, we've officially entered the countdown to Christmas. And while that stretch of time holds a lot of pleasant experiences—Christmas music, time spent with family, Christmas-themed activities at school and church, etc.—it's also usually marked by a hectic pace, jam-packed schedules, and financial stress. |

The Holy Spirit had led me to take an interest in the life of Jonathan, King Saul's son. A lot was written about his father, and even more was written about his best friend, David, but I had never looked closely at Jonathan. I started reading in 1 Samuel 14, which tells the story of how Jonathan waged an attack on a Philistine outpost with only his young armor-bearer by his side. As Jonathan made his way to Mikmash to fight two dozen Philistines by himself, his father, the king, rested comfortably under a pomegranate tree in Gibeah with six hundred soldiers. The juxtaposition of the two scenes was striking. |

The Fastnet Race is one of the toughest and most prestigious offshore races in the world, capping a series of five races that make up the coveted Admiral's Cup. On August 11, 1979, 303 yachts embarked from the Isle of Wight in the English Channel, each crew having the same goal—to be the fastest yacht in the 608-mile race. Saturday, the first day of the race, was picture perfect—sunny with a pleasant breeze. But by lunchtime on Monday savage winds began whipping the Irish Sea into a fury. That night, force-10 winds created walls of water 35-40 feet high. For 20 hours 2,500 men and women battled the raging winds, their boats tossed about like toys in the tumultuous sea. |
