Bible prophecy is being fulfilled in world events. You must be saved to enter heaven. Good deeds doesn't do it. Only making Jesus your Lord and Savior. Unsure of your future? Want real peace? Want real hope? Jesus saved me and I know I have a great (as in forever and blissful ) future.  It's all true, you just have to seek and ask. Here are some links

It also had the Mercruiser 310 horsepower with the rare 409 motor. This highly documented boat was once owned by myself. See more from the 50th Anniversary Dealers Convention.

Please be careful when boating

In light of tragedies and the always present dangers of boating, please be careful when boating. Arrange to help the driver watch all around. Tell about other approaching boats and other potential dangers. Your help as a passenger is invaluable, even if you tell the driver about a boat or hazard he already sees. Several times I've asked my passengers to help like this and been surprised by a boat that was pointed out to me that I didn't see.

 

Always wear a properly fastened life jacket even when your boat is at rest. You never know when the other guy might hit you. Leave your egos at the shore. What point is it to blaze from one point to another at a dangerous speed? You're not running late to anything. Fallen skiers, jet-skis, barely submerged logs and stumps and other hazards can easily be unseen until it's too late. If you want to go fast or race please do so in an organized and prepared function with proper planning. There are some fine organizations that hold poker runs and other races. Even then there is still a danger with going very fast. If you have family that needs you and loves you, be smart and weigh the risks. And never never let the driver drink alcohol. It's best if the passengers don't either so they can be sharp and help the driver. It's natural to relax when you're going boating and drop your guard. Don't do it. You can still have a good time and be safe too. Happy Boating!
