Can I give this a million 'likes'? I'm not exaggerating when I say this is brilliant! I love that book Scuppers (and, in fact, I need to go out and buy not just one but multiple copies of it because ours has disappeared). There was always something about this story that I was drawn to, and that part when he realizes, "If he could build a house, he could mend the hole in the ship," always stood out to me. I love the way you connect all the imagery in the story to the spiritual life.
Thanks so much, Melisa! I’m thrilled to find someone else who loves this story! My dad used to read it to us all the time growing up, and it’s one of those stories that stays with you. I hope you find a bunch of copies and give it to many new readers. :)

The more I think of it, the more I want to ponder this. I'm going to print it off so I can.
