POEM
One ship drives east and another drives west
With the selfsame winds that blow.
‘Tis the set of the sails
And not the gales
Which tells us the way to go.
Like the winds of the sea are the ways of fate,
As we voyage along through life;
‘Tis the set of a soul
That decides its goal,
And not the calm or the strife.
____Ella Wheeler Wilcox
I do not know much about this author but without a doubt her words are among the most true and profound ever written. Read her words again very slowly. Everyone should heed these words of wisdom no matter what stage of life you are in. rick

Hi Rick and Gail,
Do you ever minister on the Tonle Sap Lake- We ministered there in the floating villages near Siem Reap in 2001- back then, there weren't many missionaries going out that far? We were wondering if there was any work going on there today. The people were very open to the gospel- we will never forget the people- we would love to return one day.
Blessings,
