"I'll get you for this, Pan...if it's the last thing I do!!!"

Bang! Splash! "Oh, dear, dear, dear, Cap'n Hook...shoot'n a man in the middle of his cadenza; it ain't good form, you know!" Wise words from Mister Smee but the poor Captain has let his anger and revenge get the better of him.

Consider the life of Cap. James Hook. A rich and powerful pirate living in the magical world of Never Land, he lives in his pirate ship in the sparkling waters around the island with his loyal crew of buccaneers. There is only one thing to put a damper on his wealth of happiness; "Blast that Peter Pan...if I could only find his hideout I'd trap him in his lair...but where is it..." Peter Pan, the fun-loving flying sprite boy and protector of Never Land Island has cut off the Captain's left hand and thrown it to the nasty, hungry croccodilian who resides in the shiny, abundant waters off the Island. To make matters worse, the croccodile, having tasted the Captain's flesh is out of devour the rest of him as a tasty hors d'ouvuoirs.

While running from the croc, Captain Hook is running towards Peter Pan to get his revenge but can't find out where he lives. Revenge and anger against the sprite boy has driven the Captain's life for many years now and he can't let it go...ever.

Now, put yourself in his shoes; Peter Pan, his hideout and the TicTock Croc controls your mind and life purpose. You can't sleep at night nor ever hear a clock ticking without the reminder that you wear a hook for a hand and are being chased by a sharp-toothed beast all because you've been outdone, outsmarted and unhanded by a flying child!!!

If Captain Hook could have just given up his wretched life and made up with Peter, he would have good, refreshing sleep, be healthier, happier and live longer because studies have shown that people with anger problems, fear and thoughts of revenge are unhealthy and because their bones will rot, they will die earlier than people who have no anger and no fear.

The only way to have absolutely no anger and no fear is to live in God's principles. Delving into God's word daily gives encouragement to your soul and health to your bones.

I believe someday I shall find Never Land and go as a missionary to save all the Captain Hooks ;). Will you go with me?
