“Sailing is the one place where I feel most spiritual. The benefit of sailing is that it is not just in one place, but in many. You can be out on the water with nothing in sight or you can be amongst islands and by land. When I am out on the water I find so much joy in watching God’s creation change throughout the day, from sunrise to sunset. Each day there is a peace within myself that cannot be explained, yet an understanding of how powerful the water is and how things can change in a moment. Knowing that I am on the waters that God created and He is even more powerful than the water is amazing and I am in awe every day. This is what God created me to do, and to share the joy I receive from it and from him with others.” – Emma

I don't want religion, I want you, God.
God, How can I be more like you?  I don’t want to try so hard to be Christian.  I just want you to transform me.  I want to give without expecting anything in return.  I want to forgive without a second thought.  I want to let you lead me because you know me better than I know myself.  I
