But they're nice people — or where — and hold our mail.Now, about this business of boating.If you DO NOT own a boat, what are you waiting for? A sign? Okay, here's your sign: Salt water covers over 71% of the earth's surface. That means if you had a boat, you could be, at this very minute, wet. You might also be broke, permanently deformed from living in spaces the size of a Tupperware bread box, and have a dent in your skull from banging your forehead into the companionway hatch.You may also be divorced. Next let's talk about this book you may or may not return. Hard Aground... Again is a collection of boating columns offering a "stuck up" look at the underside of cruising and the frustrations "land-cuffed" sailors experience when our plans for coastal exploration and tropical destinations run aground on the shoals of family, finances and failing health.These columns first appeared in Carolina Cruising and Coastal Cruising Magazine, plus a number of other boating publications — all of which went out of business. Hope you enjoy the book. If not, leave it in a marina library or in an airport.

What does it mean to find God's will for your life? How can you know your calling. . . your destiny?When we say, "Lord, Your will be done," we are asking God to place His deepest yearnings into our hearts and alter the circumstances of our lives. In My Father's Business, you will see how others responded to God's yearning for passionate living and enjoyed his blessings and promises.Enjoy inspirational stories about General George S. Patton, Bruce Wilkerson, Jim Valvano, Walt Disney, Mother Teresa, Abraham Lincoln, Colonel Sanders, Jeremy Lin, and others.The word discernment comes from two Latin words: discernere (to perceive) and discretis (to separate).To discern God's voice and will is to engage in an intimate conversation with the Creator of all things. God sees beyond our past and knows our secret desires, even those desires we do not yet know exist. In My Father's Business, you will see how others responded to the yearning God placed within their heart and enjoyed their Father's blessing. As you read these short stories, ask:Will my current course of action use my gifts, talents, and passions?How has my previous experience prepared me for the task ahead?Will this new opportunity cause me to be more loving, kind, and compassionate?Will I be forced to trust God more?Is this an expansion of my influence for God?Who others benefit from my actions more than me?What will it cost me and my family?Is this a time-sensitive opportunity?The stories in this short book illustrate how others have heard God's call and heeded His voice. Our prayer is that you will learn to recognize the whisper of Jesus and both discern and do His Father's will.
