The Need For Hope
Contributed by Gordon Curley on Nov 23, 2010 (message contributor)
THE NEED FOR HOPE
Years ago an S-4 submarine was rammed by a ship off the coast of Massachusetts. It sank immediately. The entire crew was trapped in a prison house of death. Every effort was made to rescue the crew, but it ultimately failed.
Near the end of the ordeal, a deep sea diver, who was doing everything in his power to find a way for the crew’s release, thought he heard tapping on the steel wall of the sunken sub. He placed his helmet up against the side of the vessel and he realised it was the Morse Code. He attached himself to the side and spelled out in his mind the message being tapped from within.
It was repeating the same question. The question was, from within, "Is...there...any...hope?"
