I saw three ships come sailing in ......

These were taken at the extreme range of my camera lens. Three ships on three journeys.The sailing ship in the centre and right was by far the most interesting.I could picture her going to some really romantic places. It was like something out of my book "The Scent of Time" -except The Night Arrow has three masts not just two. Everytime I see a ship like that, there is a pull to travel -it is a good thing I married Stephanie who also has gypsy blood . The ship on the left is a research ship from Norway and on the right the boat that does short trips to look for Dolphins -it gets tossed about quite a bit.Three ships, three different journeys.
Life is like that God calls us to do different things and we cross the path of fellow followers of Jesus called to do something  to make a difference for the Master.I bet that if someone from the research ship fell over board they would be glad to be picked out of the water by the Dolphin Boat or someone from the big ship would be glad to be picked up by the sailing ship.Called to do different tasks for the same Master. 
I hate it when people cause division-"I serve God better than you but not quite as good as him." I am happy with my middle of the road stance -yet it is in the middle of the road you are most liable to get hit. 
Three journeys,the big research ship,the zippy Dolphin boat or the exotic dreamy Island 
 seeker . Which one are you?
