    A winter storm is expected this weekend.  If the power fails my family and I will discover how well we do without electricity.   I do love living near the sea, though, and I'm thankful for the Coast Guard who watches over our shores.   It's almost a divine calling as Jesus called his disciples from the sea.   They are literally fishers of men, rescuing the perishing.   Tonight I'll leave you with a video of Coast Guard rescues..  
   
   
   
   
   
   
   Rescue The Perishing
   Fanny J. Crosby
2. 1. Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
      Snatch them in pity from sin and the grave;
      Weep o’er the erring one, lift up the fallen,
      Tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.
      • Refrain:
        Rescue the perishing, care for the dying,
        Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.
   2. Though they are slighting Him, still He is waiting,
      Waiting the penitent child to receive;
      Plead with them earnestly, plead with them gently;
      He will forgive if they only believe.
   3. Down in the human heart, crushed by the tempter,
      Feelings lie buried that grace can restore;
      Touched by a loving heart, wakened by kindness,
      Chords that were broken will vibrate once more.
   4. Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;
      Strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;
      Back to the narrow way patiently win them;
      Tell the poor wand’rer a Savior has died.
