Only 4 weeks after the sinking, the first film about the tragedy came out. It came out in May 1912. It starred a silent movie star. Her name was Dorothy Gibson. She was actually a survivor of the tragedy. In the film titled ' Saved from the Titanic' Gibson wore the same dress she had on in her lifeboat.

In 1958, a movie titled ' A Night to Remember' came out. Ismay decided not to talk about the tragedy either in public or in private. 

For the survivors in the lifeboats, the morning of April 15 1912 was a beautiful sight. The sun came out as the lifeboats tried to navigate around icebergs.

At 4:30 am, the Carpathia arrived on the scene. The lifeboats slowly hooked up with the rescue ship. The survivors slowly came aboard. At 6:00 am, Ismay was rescued. He was close to death. He had on only his night clothes and an overcoat. 

The Californian arrived at 8:30 am. 

When all the survivors were safely on board, there was a roll call. 

The names of the missing became known.

David adjusted his black bowler hat as steerage passengers with their possessions ran toward the Aft ramp. 

There was growing confusion along the wide berth. " Are you ok Mother?".

Camille tried to drag her two trunks across the hard concrete. " Yes, I'm fine".

A porter reached for one of the trunks. " Help with those Sir".

" Yes". David winked at his mother. " My mother and I would appreciate that greatly".

" I can put them on a rack  and take them up to C Deck for you".

Camille exhaled. " Thank you".

They walked up the ramp toward an officer. He was wearing a blue suit and cap. He was holding a notebook. He smiled. " Welcome to the Titanic". He smiled again. " I am Second Officer Lightoller".

" I am David Sharpston". He grinned. " This is my mother Camille Sharpston".

The officer glanced at his notebook. " Yes, I have you in C-77".

Camille smiled. " Officer, this is a beautiful ship".

" The RMS Titanic is the British Empire at it's best".

David smiled.

" Up the ramp here is the first class entrance on B Deck". He pointed. " Once inside, a steward will take you to the purser's office".

Camille frowned. " Why is that?".

" The purser will process your boarding pass and direct you to your cabin".

The Son of Man is mentioned more than 80 times in God's Word. He is both the Son of God and the Son of Man. Both are equally important. The Son is God and Man.

The Son of Man had humble origins. He was born in a stable to humble parents. He had a divine identity. The Son of Man did not live a charmed life. God's grace meets us wherever we are. The Son of Man is our Savior and our hope.

So who is the Son of Man?. It is Jesus Christ whom I love.

In November of 1956, Little Richard came onto the scene. His songs were big band with vocal, piano and saxophone. Only Elvis Presley had affected John and Paul that much.

At the same time, John had gotten his first guitar. It was time to let go of the banjo. It was a cheap little acoustic guitar. He learned to play it using the banjo's first four strings. George Harrison learned how to play guitar using a Hofner Committee guitar. It was a maple blade guitar. George and Paul became closer friends when they both had guitars. They would play and sing around Paul's front parlor.
