NAVIGATION
Navigation of a ship at sea is, in principle, a very simple matter: you plot a course between where you are and where you want to be, and let the propeller muscle the ship through the water. As simple as that seems, it wont happen without another very important element: the rudder! The rudder performs its quiet, steady work, unshaken by the tremendous pressures directed against it. And it must hold the true course without deviation.
The navigation of a human life is also, in principle, a very simple matter. As with a ship, there must be motivation and direction. Sea service men and women have shown no shortage of drive, but far too many who abound with energy have experienced the tragic results of inattention to their moral compass.
When a ship drifts off course, the order Mind your helm! quickly follows: Pay attention to your rudders position! The same order in your personal life (Pay attention to moral attitudes and actions.) is a call to mind the moral helm in your life. This internal rudder must be able to withstand the powerful forces that will otherwise constantly push you off your safe and proper course. The proven moral and spiritual values of our heritage provide excellent tools to help you sail a true course, whatever the state of the seas.

Only two are de-clawed and they were done before we adopted them. The rest aren’t. If one slips out the door, which happens occasionally, they need their defenses,

Yes, they do. We’ve been through it a lot over the years having had so many cats in our lives who were dumped like trash. We had Weeble a little over 11 years and gave her a good life while she was with us. She was almost dead from starvation when she showed up.

It’s such a shame when they find themselves in that situation. Britches and Weebs were two of the lucky ones who found someone who cared.

LOL! Always fear that if I don’t get enough sleep, I’ll fall asleep in the church pew and bonk my head on the pew in front of me. It’s a joke....sort of. :)
