Costa Concordia Disaster

Me at Tema :) Ship- Logos Hope


The Costa Concordia disaster was the partial sinking of the Italian cruise ship Costa Concordia with the loss of 32 lives. The ship, with 4,252 people from all over the world on board, was on the first leg of a cruise around the Mediterranean Sea. Captain Francesco Schettino had deviated from the ship's computer-programmed route, claiming that he was familiar with the local seabed. The captain, having lost control of the ship, did nothing to contact the nearby harbour for help but tried to resume the original course. In the end he had to order evacuation when the ship grounded after an hour of listing and partly drifting. 

Francesco - "I have to take responsibility for the fact that I made a judgment error." May the families and friends that were affected by this disaster find comfort in God. Amen.

As I think of the actions & or in-actions of Captain Francesco Schettino, I find rest and comfort in knowing that the Captain of my life never deviates, is truly familiar with all the 'seabeds' on my journey, never loses control of the ship of my life, and never makes judgment errors...Blessed assurance - Jesus is mine....Halleluyah! What a Savior!....Captain of Israel's Host and Guide of all who seek the land above...🙂

Have a great week lovely people! Choose the Best Captain! He'll never leave you nor forsake you 🙂

Hymn by Charles Wesley:

1.Captain of Israel's host, and Guide

Of all who seek the land above,

Beneath Thy shadow we abide,

The cloud of Thy protecting love;

Our strength, Thy grace, our rule, Thy Word;

Our end, the glory of the Lord.


2.By Thine unerring Spirit led,

We shall not in the desert stray

We shall not full direction need

Nor miss our providential way;

As far from danger as from fear,

While Love, almighty Love, is near.
