When volunteers have to dig snow from the deck, the ramps, Ice Station Zebra, and around the...

You know, Lord, it's interesting when a friend shares a motivating article or a feeling she may have about what she's dealing with in life - so here goes. She mentioned the distressed disciples over the predominant blast buffering their boat, and how they woke Jesus and He quickly addressed the raging wind and waves: "Quiet! Settle down!" (Mark 4:39MSG). The storm stopped! 'E.V.' continued. "You know what? That translation of Jesus's words caught my attention. 'Settle down.'...
