                    This anchor holds in day of adversity,
When all else threatens to give way.
This anchor keeps my vessel from drifting,
Never letting my ship run astray.
This anchor holds midst angry seas battering,
When waves and winds battle for my soul.
This anchor holds in the lonely night hours,
When darkness

                    THE DOVE, THE FISH AND THE ANCHOR
If ever you have the chance to visit the catacombs in Rome, those tunnels under the ancient city, where many of the early Christians were buried, you can see the symbols of faith on their tombs. Three common symbols appear: the dove, the fish, and the anchor. The

                    Many years ago, a captain of an English ship sailing near Turkey was caught in a storm.  As there was no harbour nearby he let down the anchor, but the wind blew so fiercely that it began to drag the anchor.  It couldn’t get a grip on the sandy seabed and so the ship began to drift.
