No Grit. No Pearl.

Life calls for us to prepare as well as we can for the good times and the less than best of times. We try to be ready in and out of season. You may feel confident that your boat is watertight. You can have your plans written out, solidly set up in your mind; you can even make future arrangements in light of these plans. But as life unfolds it sometimes brings a surge, a sudden rising of the tide, a change in the ebb and flow that interrupts the rhythm and timing of your plans, occasionally even bringing with it uncertainty and fear. What is your recovery strategy when these unexpected elements rush in like a flood? No grit. No pearl.
