Let's imagine you are 1000 feet in the air, standing on the high steel framework of a new skyscraper under construction. You are supported by each of the steel girders below you, and the massive concrete foundation is resting on the bedrock of the Earth. Your primary interest at this point is your safety. The girders below must each be riveted well to one another; because if even ONE is just jammed in with no rivets, the whole structure could fall at any moment! Any girder with no rivets is like a lie, because you put your trust in it as if it were the truth. The only way to know if each girder is "true" is to closely examine each one. To appear to be a part of the structure is not enough in itself, because you place your trust in every girder below you believing they are "true". If you are on a framework built up on 100% TRUTH, then you are safe. If you can be shown the "girders" that have no rivets, exposing the deceptions as the lies they really are, then you would be wise to re-evaluate the wisdom of remaining where you are.
Introduction
To bring you up to date… an enlightening chronicle that briefly takes you through the birth of a dream, around the enduring course of difficulties, obstacles, and distractions, then the sprint to the elusive finish line, which is always further away than it seems... but can't be far off now!
I have tried to keep these postings in a chronological sequence so, for first time visitors, go to the bottom of "What I've been doing" where you'll find the first entry and the most recent entry will be at the top.

I have recently felt the need to add a disclaimer. The tone of this blog tends to follow after the mood and interests of the editor. While its original intent was to chronicle my boating escapades, of recent, my adventures have begun to embrace a religious flavor. For this reason, I'd like to clarify that, although the posts may appear biased, I advise you to reject any notion suggesting that I, in fact, may appear to be endorsing any predilection or point of view. Anymore, I believe what I believe, which is between myself and I, and I have learned that beliefs are personal and deserve being protected from public scrutiny. Please view anything posted within this site only as food for thought.
