You know, I just got back from swimming lessons, when I suddenly has this shocking realization.
About lifeguards.
About what the word "lifeguard" means.
Lifeguard literally means someone or something that is guarding life (not from a dictionary, just from my head).
You may have already known that, but to me, it just came as something that I had never thought of.
So, lifeguards, in this sense, guard our life against water.
So...
Other people are lifeguards, too, in the sense that they preserve life.
So...
Firefighters guard our life against fire.
Police officers guard our life against, various things, but in particular, violence.
The Army, Air Force, Navy, Marines, and all other branches of the militia guard our life from evil.
Pastors and other Christians guard our spiritual life against evil, also.
So...
There are a lot of different life guards, aren't there?
About Me
- Marigold
- I am a teenage Christian Hobbit, and am currently submerged in studies. Oh, and I'm not sure that I would call it an interest, but I AM a Christian. In short, I believe that Christ died for my sins, and rose again on the third day, and that it is not of my own "goodness" that I have been saved, but it is through God's mercy and Christ's blood that has been shed for me and has atoned for all my sins.
