"Tides of Furry"

In the North Atlantic the seas are a living creature; and often having bad temper. It was the untamed month of February, I believe in 1993; a hurricane had come from the tropics and had stomped up the East coast of the United States. Her winds brought enormous effects on the sleeping monster. We were somewhere off the coast of Maine and the swells were expanding.
The cold air made it hard to breathe and the winds would pierce a human body and stir his bones. The skies became a colorless grey and water sprays started to mesh with the air. -Everyone was moving inside now as the ship began to take some solid hits. One could feel the awesome waves lift the entire ship. For a brief moment everyone anticipated the drop. The smack of the hull fighting the seas would shake the frame and your heart with in. Rumors flew, a tanker off the coast had been swallowed by the mad oceans. Men were uneasy for our destination was the dreaded Halifax.
Time crept on and the battle increased. The bow of the ship would often be submerged by the raving waters. It felt as though the devil was pulling the ship down to hell. If ever men believed in the next life, twas now as they prayed for deliverance.

Spiritual De-Nile

-Come to conclusion that people often separate or confuse Holy Spirit with consciousness or morals. The voice that speaks in you of truth is not subconscious thoughts-

It is God The Holy Spirit.

Thumb-sucking

Don't suck your thumb, trying to get comfort out of the past. Strike out against the womb. Your childhood has gone and you must find new pasture.
Where is this pasture you might ask?
It is not in the lush rolling green hills. No, even the most beautiful places on Earth shall be destroyed. Build your future in the body of Christ. For only in truth and light can eternal life be found.

Sir Francis Drake's Prayer (1577)

Disturb us, Lord, when
We are too pleased with ourselves,
When our dreams have come true
Because we dreamed too little,
When we arrived safely
Because we sailed too close to the shore.
Disturb us, Lord, when
with the abundance of things we possess
We have lost our thirst
For the waters of life;
Having fallen in love with life,
We have ceased to dream of eternity
And in our efforts to build a new earth,
We have allowed our vision
Of the new Heaven to dim.
Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly,
To venture on wilder seas
Where storms will show Your mastery;
Where losing sight of land,
We shall find the stars.
We ask you to push back
The horizons of our hopes;
And to push back the future
In strength, courage, hope, and love.
This we ask in the name of our Captain,
Who is Jesus Christ.
