This page is lovingly dedicated to my Mom - the ultimate Prayer Warrior, a true Veteran of the Cross and my personal spiritual guide. Mom, you gave me the gift of life, but more importantly, you brought me up in the Christian faith so that, through Jesus Christ my Savior, I may have the gift of eternal life. There is no greater gift than that!
I Love you, Mom.

Jesus, Captain of Life’s Sea

I have a friend in Jesus,
Who guides me through the gale
A first mate and a skipper
Who helps me to set sail.

He offers strength and guidance
A helmsman at the wheel
An ever-steady beam of light
A fortress made of steel.

He’s the master of the ocean
My refuge and my rock
A harbor that I turn to
My anchor at life’s dock.

He’s a mighty sailing warrior
A helping hand indeed
A pilot through the churning waves
He meets my every need.

He’s the One I always run to
When the waves won’t let me be
The lighthouse that I turn to
On a rough and troubled sea.

He’s a smoothly sailing vessel
A refuge from the storm
The gentle breeze that sends me to
An island, sweet and warm.

He’s a brave and fearless skipper
A shelter from the heat
Water when I’m thirsty
A vessel filled with wheat.

He’s a sure and steady sailor
My Captain on life’s sea
No matter where I journey
He goes along with me.
