About Me

I am an older (middle-aged) person with a desire to make contact with others and share things I feel I have learned from life and to, hopefully, help make a difference in their lives, also.

Sinking Feelings

Dear God,

Tonight this ocean called "Life" seems too big, too vast, and our home, us, our family, - our "lifeboat," as it were - too small, too fragile, to weather the present storm.  Please God help us; we are too frail to keep our boat from sinking beneath the pounding waves.  Each surge brings new terrors and we do not know where to turn.  We stumble from port to starboard, stem to stern, trying to keep the tattered sails in place and the rudder on a true course, but our hull is leaking and we are afraid of what the light of a new day will reveal.  We are also older now.  Swimming lessons were a long time ago and if our boat goes under we may not be able to tread water very long.  Please keep this in mind?

Amen
