MASTER'S PERSONAL LOG:
One of the nasty aspects of winter is that so little gets done adn you seem to have so much more time to do it. I would really love to be down on the boat doing some of the work that needs doing but it is literally too cold and, with the boat also in the water, there is little that can be done. come spring, of course, there will be too much to do and too little time in which to do it. It is a never ending cycle I'm afraid.
There has been no movement on the boat, not offers, not even a nibble. As we get closer to spring, I am hoping that that will pick up but right now, who knows. Of course, I could win Powerball and that would solve a number of problems but, as of now, ABISHAG going to a new owner is the best thing.
I have a carefully crafted and ever-expanding list of projects, few of which can be tackled until the snow stops and the weather warms at least a bit. I am hoping for an early spring so that I can get started and then get sailing if she doesn't sell. But for now, it is simply one day at a time, all the while hoping that something will happen to ameliorate the whole situation.
As for my own repairs, the cutting and slashing will take place on the 5th of March. According to the doctor, I'll be in the hospital for 3-4 days, then convalesce for another 5-10, and then it is simply getting better. I have been hobbling along on this leg for so long now that I really wonder what it will be like to walk pain-free.

In a race, it is not the start that hurts, not the even pace of the long stretch.
ReplyDeleteIt is when the goal is in sight that heart and nerves and courage and muscles are strained
…almost beyond human endurance,
…almost to breaking point.
So with you now, the goal is in sight, you need your final cry to Me.
Can you not see by the nerve and heart rack of the past few days that your race is nearly run.
Courage, courage.
Heed My voice of encouragement.
Remember that I am by your side, spurring you on to victory.
In the annals of heaven, the saddest records are those that tell
…of the many who ran well, with brave stout hearts,
…until in sight of the goal, of victory, and then their courage failed.
The whole host of heaven longed to cry out how near the end was,
…to implore the last spurt, but they fell out,
…never to know until the last day of revealing, how near they were to victory.
Would that they had listened to Me in the silence, as you meet with Me.
They would have known.
There must be the listening ear.
As well as the still small voice.
