Avoiding Temptation

Avoiding Temptation

Icelander, Eriker Olafsson accidentally collided with the yacht, Dragon Song, for the second time just one year and one day after his first collision with the same yacht. He was sailing down the Solent when he saw the Dragon Song and decided to pull alongside it so that he could apologize to its owner for his first collision. The problem was that he got too close to it.

Jim Hughes, the owner of the, Dragon Song, said that he will only rest sound when, “Olafsson has sailed off into the distance, never to return.” He also said that he, “Will never, ever sail anywhere near Iceland, just on the off-chance that he [Olafsson] will be there.”

The Christian should have the same attitude about sin and avoiding temptation.
