NO TURNING BACK
A young man who was beginning his work with the Coast Guard was called early to take part in a desperate assignment. A great storm had arisen and a ship was signaling its distress. As the men began to move the big boat to the rescue, the young man, frightened at the fierceness of the gale, cried out to the captain, “We will never get back!” Above the storm the captain replied, “We don’t have to come back, but we do have to go out.” Quoted by J. Oswald Sanders in Spiritual Leadership, p. 83 & 84
