No Reverse

I'm a total land-lubber, but it amazes me how much life is like sailing.

There's no reverse on a boat. I've been in small boats in lakes full of annoying weeds everywhere. Hit too thick a patch and your engine clogs. I've been in canoes going down a river, avoiding rocks by looking for the dark water triangles. In both situations, there's no reverse. You gotta figure out how to get yourself out of the jam you got into by going forward.

Life's the same way. There's no do-overs. No reverse, only forward. Thank God he is the God of restoration, and that's always moving forward.
