It needs a little more detail. Thanks for sharing what you said! It DOES need the added words about "drowning in sin" or "drowning in this world" or something like that. My picture was, the ocean is the world, and there's no way we can make it through this world, even though we might THINK we can, there's no way we can make it on our own through this world and then safely to Heaven. And yes, Pastor Chuck, the waters are shark infested! So many things and people and circumstances out there, to just devour us. No, Vickie, I think you're right. It needs a little more detail.

One plants, another waters, and GOD gives the increase! I thank God for racing his boat into the shark infested waters of my old sinful life! I was drowning... and it would not have been very long before I was no more. Salvation is the most beautiful thing in all the universe! I love that Michelle!!!

If it were me explaining it out (since you asked) I would start with adding the person is drowning and somehow relate not knowing how to swim = drowning in their own sin.. Somehow so they know and realize the fact that we are all born sinners and we can't save ourselves. If they don't get that part then repentance will not be in their hearts which also I would add somewhere around the part where you have "As long as the person being rescued does what he/she is told... I would word it somehow about as long as the person HAS FAITH in the life preserver and trusts that it will carry him/her to the boat safely. Well I guess it does kind of say all this so maybe it's just me. What does Pastor Chuck say? Michelle, I think you have a excellent illustration there about the boat.
