Ralph Waldo Emerson once said, "Good
writings a kind of skating which carries off
the performer where he would not go."
Connie Hawkins is that skater; her life a
writing "adventure" taking her places she
would not otherwise go.
The Rowboat Revisited is yet another
exciting chapter in Connie's life as she
shares inspirational stores with the wit
and humor her readers have come to
love.

Sailing through Life in a Rowboat -- Again! Sailing to me is to begin a journey by water, usually in
a sailing vessel of some sort, in my case, a rowboat. Those skilled in the art of sailing might say, to
navigate the high seas is to float along in an effortless way. This is not so in my situation.
Everything I do in life seems to require a great deal of effort. To realize that a sail is a mere piece
of cloth makes the idea of sailing a bit unnerving unless you have an excellent ship mate at the
helm.
Sailing through life in a rowboat is no easy task; at least it hasn't been for me. If I didn't have Christ
at the controls I'm sure the boat would have sunk years ago.
What I know about sailing through life:
Sailing is a lot more fun when you have someone in the boat with you.
It helps a great deal if you're both rowing in the same direction!
Sailing demands physical and emotional strength.
Sailing takes wit, know how and fortitude.
Sailing for me, anyway, requires a lot of fortitude and a bucket. (I'll explain the bucket, later.)
To sail through life in a rowboat takes courage.
"We do all stand in the ranks of battle every moment of our lives; where there is a brave man (or
woman) there is the thickest of the fight, there the post of honor." Henry David Thoreau. And in the
post of honor I sail again through life in a rowboat, hoping as I sail to entertain you with stories and
poetry from a merry heart which doeth good like a medicine. (Proverbs 17:22). I hope as you read
the book that I inspire you in your journey through life. Enjoy the journey as you revisit the rowboat
with me! Connie
