Great to catch up with boat folks at St Lukes Spaghetti Dinner! Always an enjoyable annual event and a snapshot of a time in our country long....hearing stories about 60 foot waves off the northern coast of US, 53 degree rolls in round bottom boats, and other nail-biting coast guard rescue missions circa 1953.

Inspired me to share some thought-provoking quotes shared with a friend earlier today that I'll pass along:

1. "Whether you think you can or you think you can't--you're right." Henry Ford

2. "Preach the gospel, use words if necessary" St Francis of Assisi

3. "Do not give your heart to that which does not satisfy your heart" Abba Poeman, Desert Father

4. "The cure for anything is salt water: sweat, tears, or the sea." Isak Dinesen

5. "I don't have all the answers, but I know the one who does..." Jack Graham

6. "Sin is disordered love" St Augustine

7. "Rules without Relationship = Rebellion" Josh McDowell

8. "True generosity calls is to be prepared to share with those in need without passing judgement on the reason for their need or their failure to meet their own needs." Definition of a generous giver.

9. "A generous man will prosper; he who refreshes others will himself be refreshed." Proverbs 11:25

10. "Success is to be measured not so much by the position one has reached in life, as by the obstacles which one has overcome while trying to succeed." Booker T. Washington
