After two years in Caesarea, Paul finally begins his journey to Rome—not as a free man, but as a prisoner. Under the supervision of Julius, a centurion, Paul begins the journey across the Mediterranean Sea to Rome. Along with Paul are other prisoners, as well as his friends Aristarchus and Luke. They board a commercial ship to Myra. In Myra they change to another, larger ship and begin their way further west, making their way to the island of Crete. And ill-advised decision to press further west along the southern coast of Crete ended in disaster. A strong storm drove them out to sea, resulting in over two weeks of peril and near death. Life’s storms come for many reasons, and when they hit, where we drop our anchors will determine how we make it through.
