***A Tragedy or Blessing?***

Years ago in Scotland, the Clark family had a dream. Clark and his wife worked and saved, making plans for their nine children and themselves to travel to the United States. It had taken years, but they had finally saved enough money and had gotten passports and reservations for the whole family on a new liner to the United States.
 The entire family was filled with anticipation and excitement about their new life.

However, seven days before their departure, a dog bit the youngest son. The doctor sewed up the boy but hung a yellow sheet on the Clarks' front door. Because of the possibility of rabies, they were being quarantined for fourteen days. The family's dreams were dashed. They would not be able to make the trip to America as they had planned. The father, filled with disappointment and anger, stomped to the dock to watch the ship leave - without the Clark family.

The father shed tears of disappointment and cursed both his son and God for their misfortune. Five days later, the tragic news spread throughout Scotland - the mighty Titanic had sunk. The unsinkable ship had sunk, taking hundreds of lives with it. The Clark family was to have been on that ship, but because a dog had bitten the son, they were left behind in Scotland.

When Mr. Clark heard the news, he hugged his son and thanked him for saving the family. He thanked God for saving their lives and turning what he had felt was a tragedy into a blessing. Although we may not always understand, all things happen for a reason.

One thing you may not know about me is I am a huge fan of Titanic. It started with the movie make in 1997 by James Cameron. I went to see it with my now DH we were dating at the time. I remember watching it and was so engrossed in the story line and the majesty of the ship, that when it started to sink it dawned one me. Oh my it is going to sink! How could I have forgotten that amazed me.

My Niece a few years ago gave me a PC game called Titanic: Adventure Out of Time is a It was developed by Cyberflix. The game is a point and click adventure game which sees the player traveling around a virtual representation of the RMS Titanic. The detail and graphics made you feel you were on the ship itself.

If you do a search on Google there are 41,000,000 which is up from 40,400,000 last year.
I watched a show on Titanic on the National Geographic Channel. Moments from disaster.

There are a few things that I didn't know after watching a show last night. The Californian sailing 19 1/2 miles away, had wired to the Titantic that there was Ice ahead. However he was interrupting a current transmission and he failed to use the code when delivering it. It was ignored and the wire operator on the Californian afterwards went to bed and the wireless was shut down for the night. Since that tragic night there was a law imposed to keep wireless communication up 24/7.

The look outs on the crow's nest watching for Ice didn't have their bonoculars due to an officer looking them up back in England and they didn't have the key. However,
