SHIP'S LOG:
I got the seat for the dinghy and a heavy duty air mattress to use as the "air floor" and was ready to get the dinghy up to A-1 Status. The has these two clips, one on either end, which slide over these webbed handles on the interior of the dinghy. I slipped one clip in one handle and the other clip in the other handle, and the second one broke. Evidently the cloth webbing had deteriorated sufficiently in the sunlight so as to become rotten and it just broke. Tugging on the unbroken one broke it too. ARGH! So now a simple fix has become a little bit more complicated. I will have to get new handles, special marine dinghy ones of course, and glue them to the insides of the dinghy with special marine dinghy glue of course, and so get the dingy back in proper statue. Such a simple thing gone stray!
...fuckin' dinghy!
ReplyDeleteDo not think that suffering is the only path into My Kingdom.
ReplyDeleteThere are sunlit glades,
…and ways amid the loveliest flowers,
…along which the steps and hearts of men are drawn to Me.
There are birds and laughter and butterflies, and warm, life giving summer air,
…and with these as tender companions and friends,
…the Joy-Way into the Kingdom can be taken.
Bleak, cold and desolate, briar-beset and stony, are not all the ways.
Leave all to Me.
The choice of ways, the guidance in the way.
But when the sunlight calls, accept it gladly.
Even in the Spirit World appreciation results from contrary experience.
Can the fireside of home be more dear to the traveler who has forced his way over bleak moor and through blinding storms?
Take to your hearts this word of cheer.
“He will not suffer you to be tempted more than you are able,
…but will, with the temptation,
…also find a way of escape that you may be able to bear it.”
The world is not the Kingdom.
In the world, you shall have tribulations but
…“be of good cheer, I have overcome the world.”
Live with Me the Conquering Christ,
…and the Joy and Peace of conquest shall be yours too.
