The Brave

The brave, opened the sails of his life’s boat, praying for rough seas!

I guess that means I am not very brave. I only want tranquil waters. But this is so profound, Demetrios. Wish I had the time to see even more but i am really behind at Soup!!

Thank you for dedicating so much time for my humble writing, dear Andrea! As far as the "tranquil waters" is concerned, I have to say that they do never ...make good captains! Haha! Thank you again my friend!

It is in weakness when we are strong, as Jesus helps us go through the hardest challenges that we face, with him we will overcome. Another write that I love, Demetrios.
