Quote of the day

This is a quote that I love


Disturb us, Lord, when we are too well pleased with ourselves, when our dreams have come true because we have dreamed too little, when we arrive safely because we have sailed too close to shore.

Disturb us, Lord, when with the abundance of things we possess, we have lost our thirst for life, we have ceased to dream of eternity; and in our efforts to build a new earth, we have allowed our vision of heaven to dim.

Disturb us, Lord, to dare more boldly, to venture on wider seas where storms will show Your mastery; where losing sight of land, we shall find the stars. We ask you to push back the horizons of our hopes; and to push us into the future in strength, courage, hope, and love.

~Sir Francis Drake
