Noah's Ark

I watched this show "Evan Almighty" and found it to be interesting.

Noah's ark is the boat built by the Biblical character Noah and his family. At the command of God, according to the story Noah was to build a boat that could accommodate his extended family and a lot of animals, all in pairs. The boat had to be big and had to be constructed to endure the divinely planned universal flood aimed at destroying every other person and animal on earth.

I learned something from Morgan Freeman who played "GOD". He (God) said that when we prayed for patience, God cannot give us "patience" which is intangible so God gave us the opportunity for patience. If we asked for something we want, God will give us the opportunity to allow us to achieve that we want. How true indeed!! True to the old adage "God only helped those who helped themselves"

Here are 11 things we can learn from Noah's Ark story (from forwarded email):-
1. Don't miss the boat.
2. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
3. Plan ahead - it wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
4. Stay fit - someone might ask you to do something really big when you are 60 years old
5. Don't listen to critics - just get on with the job that needs to be done.
6. Build your future on high grounds.
7. For safety's sake, travel in pairs.
8. Speed isn't always an advantage - the snails got on board with the cheetahs.
9. When stressed, float awhile.
10. Remember, the Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
11. Weather the storm because there is always a rainbow waiting.
