Laws of the Lighthouse.

-Love God more than you fear hell.
-Make major decisions in a cemetary
-Succeed at home first.
-Don't spend tomorrow's money today
-Pray twice as much as you fret.
-Listen twice as much as you speak
-Only harbour a grudge when God does.
-Never outgrow your love of sunsets.
-Treat people like angels; you will meet some and help make some.
-God has forgiven you; you'd be wise to do the same.
-When you can't trace God's hand, trust in his heart.
-Don't feel guilty for God's goodness.
-Never let the important be the victim of the trivial.

To sum it all up:
Approach life like a voyage on a schooner. Enjoy the view. Explore the vessel. Make friends with the captain. Fish a little. And then get off when you get home.
