Your dreams lie on the other side of summer

This is the "Balder" she came all the way from Norway. She is wooden clinker built and is a dream ship,the kind that meets you at the start of your dreams to take you somewhere good before you wake up.
Work starts again tomorrow and serving the Lord is why I am here.Maybe you are a teacher and going back to school taking a deep breath and wondering how you are going to mange for another year.
 Your dreams and your future  lie beyond summer as much as we would like to freeze it and relive it.
The future is not in the safe harbor of summer, but what lies beyond that .There is still autumn and then it is winter but it is not long into the New Year here before the days begin to stretch out and we are reminded that summer will come again and we will be one step or maybe several steps closer to our dreams.
When sailors in the sailing ships went out to sea, they did not know what the weather would do. They did know what to do, when the weather changed .They were aiming for a harbor where the crew could get back to their wives and sweethearts and invest their pay-off money.
Sea separates but it is also a highway .In my book "The Scent of Time" the hero's tea clipper goes from China to London in the tea race and all the adventures that take place.
It has been a wonderful summer as I look back all the photographs. The way to your dreams lies out there, my dream involves a very long journey with Stephanie but not quite yet.
I love to get lost in the Patrick O 'Brien sea stories of Jack Aubrey and Steven Matchurin  and round the corner is that dream still beckoning .....I am here I have not left you and your heart is on course trust Me .
The One on the bridge is Jesus...He does not promise a smooth journey but He does promise a safe landing.
Don't let anyone steal your dream or your vision .
