A day in the life of the wealthy...
65' custom-built motor yacht complete with 4 staterooms, a state-of-the-art galley, GPS System and radar for navigation, twin supercharged diesel engines, etc. $4,500,000.00
Champagne, chocolate covered strawberries with cream and music dockside for the excited 'soon to be owners' and a small group of friends. $500.00
Two corporate representatives, crane, and rigging complete with faulty turnbuckle. $2,500/hour
(Note the guy in the stern!)
Watching your dreamboat nose dive into the harbor, accompanied by two corporate representatives just prior to 'inking' the final paperwork...
Priceless!
So, how was your day?

You know Michael, you *really* should find something better to do with your millions than sinking it into a yacht.

Can you imagine the crane operator's reaction during all this? "Oo........ oo.......oo.... Oops! Well, that gonna be the 'one that got away' story to beat them all!"

Saving faith is an immediate relation to Christ, accepting, receiving, resting upon Him alone, for justification, sanctification, and eternal life by virtue of God's grace.

True story except the price of the yacht and the champagne and strawberries were exaggerated.
