Welcome to 10 minute Bible Talks, where we connect the Bible to your life and the time it takes to get to work.

I'm Jensen Holt McNair. Have you ever been in a wave pool before? The giant

swimming pool that gets deeper and deeper on a gradual slope as you go in. It's usually

out of six flags or your favorite water park of choice. It's always filled

with about a million humans. Now some of those humans are on inner tubes. Some are just risking

everything and fighting for their lives.

Because every five minutes or so, the pool, it comes alive, and chaos ensues.

If you've been in one, you know, the waves start rolling in one at a time bigger and bigger.

If you're lucky enough to be on an inner tube, you're basically on a roller coaster floating

up and down, having a blast. But if you're

unfortunate enough to actually be in the water, let me tell you, it's absolute

madness. You are kicking, rocking up and down, taking breaths trying not to go under, all the

while dodging a million inner tubes enthroned with carefree riders, threatening to crash into you, left and right, and take you under

for good. Truly, madness.

Now, the people who run the wave pools, they know. They know just how disorienting and wild it can get.

So every few minutes the waves will calm down and they give everyone a chance to catch their

breath or get the heck out of that pool and never come back. Now my feelings about

wave pools are clearly negative. I'd much prefer to be in a calm, mostly uninhabited infinity pool by the beach.

Call me crazy, but the calm still serenity is unmatched.

Wave pools, they can't compare.

There is no peace, only the feeling of being tossed around out of control in a turbulent

environment fighting for your life. That's the experience of a wave pool.
