<p><b>Micah 6:8</b> &ndash; He has told you, O mortal, what is good; and what does the Lord require of you but to do justice, and to love kindness, and to walk humbly with your God?</p>
<p>OK. Why is the Church like a sailboat? Give up? Because so much energy goes in to keeping the thing repaired and so little time is left to do the activity it was made for.</p>
<p>When I talk about sailing, I simply mean the wonderful experience of feeling the winds of God on our face and moving in perfect harmony with that powerful unseen force called wind.</p>
<p>When we&#39;re talking about the church, I wonder if we may not have muddied the waters so well that we&#39;re not really certain what our main activity is anymore.</p>
<p>Our ancestors knew that our chief end was to glorify God and enjoy God. Do we?</p>
<p><b>Prayer:</b> Spirit of God, blow fresh breezes into the sails of our souls that we may journey with you in joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.</p>
