Summary
A now-viral video captures a huge shark attacking a Hawaiian angler’s kayak as he fished off Oahu last Friday. The fisherman spotted an injured seal shortly before the shark attacked his kayak and theorized that the shark mistook the kayak for the seal. The fisherman was understandably frightened but otherwise unhurt.
You may go your entire life at the beach never encountering a shark, but your next time in the ocean could be one time too many. Since it’s human nature to fear what we cannot predict or control, especially if it is more powerful than we are, it’s natural to fear sharks.
If only we felt the same way about sin.

| 0:00.0 | Today is Wednesday, May the 17th, 2023. Welcome to the Daily Article podcast. I'm Chris Elkins, |
| 0:09.2 | narrating today's article written by Denison Forum co-founder and CEO, Dr. Jim Denison. |
| 0:16.0 | You're reading this daily article while I'm flying over the Atlantic, returning from Israel after leading our |
| 0:21.3 | latest tour of the Holy Land. I wrote it yesterday afternoon before our departure and wanted to |
| 0:26.5 | begin with news that won't change overnight and might be interesting to you. One topic is certain |
| 0:32.3 | to accomplish the latter. Shark attacks. A now viral video captures a huge shark attacking a Hawaiian angler's |
| 0:40.5 | kayak as he fished off Oahu last Friday. The fisherman spotted an injured seal shortly |
| 0:46.1 | before the shark attacked his kayak and theorized that the shark mistook the kayak for the seal. |
| 0:52.2 | The fisherman was understandably frightened, but otherwise unhurt. |
| 0:56.2 | The same cannot be said for a 13-year-old girl in St. Lucie County, Florida, who said she was |
| 1:01.9 | bitten by a shark several times while in the ocean on North Hutchinson Island. She believes |
| 1:07.5 | her attacker was a bull shark, at least four feet long. She was injured but survived. |
| 1:13.3 | The most tragic of our theme comes from Australia, where searchers found what appears to be pieces of the wetsuit and surfboard |
| 1:20.7 | belonging to a surfer who was attacked by a shark off South Australia's coast last Saturday. |
| 1:26.1 | Police will continue to search the area where the |
| 1:28.3 | swimmer's remains. On average, there is one fatal shark attack in the U.S. every two years. |
| 1:34.3 | On average, 69 people are killed by lawnmowers every year. But I'm guessing you're far more |
| 1:41.3 | afraid of sharks in the water than lawnmowers on the land. |
| 1:45.0 | One reason is obvious. |
| 1:46.6 | You usually can't see the shark attacking until it's too late. |
| 1:50.7 | You may go your entire life at the beach, never encountering a shark, |
| 1:54.7 | but your next time in the ocean could be one time too many. |
