Thanks to the influence of Beach Boy's music and movies, surfers were cool dudes and I wanted to be one. Looking back on my foolish quest, I discovered some lessons and appropriate scripture that can help us all be more successful in life and improve our relationship with God. To surf, you needed a board. People on the beach laughed when they saw me coming. Surfers in the water avoided me like the plague.
Good preparation beats frettin' any day.
Tell God what you need, and thank him for all he has done. I would huff and puff, thrashing my arms, only to have the next wave pick up the surfboard and fling us back to shore. When I finally arrived, I was too pooped to surf. God says, If you do this, you will experience God's peace, which is far more wonderful than the human mind can understand. His peace will guard your hearts and minds .
