The Vision Clear
Child’s eyes to see, child’s ears to hear –
God grant to me that vision clear.
Grant me the sight of heaven and earth –
Quiet rest at night, day’s glorious mirth.
Help me to hear those little things,
Faint, far and clear, rememberings.
So I may learn fully to praise
Thee for my life of happy days.
J M Westrup
All I need to know I learned from Noah's Ark
One. Don't miss the boat.
Two. Remember that we are all in the same boat.
Three. Plan ahead. It wasn't raining when Noah built the Ark.
Four. Stay fit. When you're 600 years old someone may ask you to do something big.
Five. Don't listen to critics, just get on with the job that needs to be done.
Six. Build your future on high ground.
Seven. For safety's sake travel in pairs.
Eight. Speed isn't always an advantage. The snails were on board with the cheetahs.
Nine. When you're stressed, float awhile.
Ten. Remember the Ark was built by amateurs, the Titanic by professionals.
