Some Words of Wisdom from Ol' Chuck

"Low tide...how painful yet how essential. Without it the changing ocean becomes a predictable boring body of water with no mysterious marriage to the moon, lacking its romantic magnetic appeal. Without it there would be no need for Elishas to minister to anguished Elijahs...no need for visionaries to fall in dependance on their faces before God...no need for the valiant to be reminded of their source of strength.
Is that all...is that all there is to low tides?

No, there is more, much more.
Most of which can never be described...only discovered."

-Charles Swindol
