Ardi, our son from different parents, and who Greggii calls "My best brother in the whole world," lived with our family for nearly a year.

Sailing Faith: The Long

Way Home

Faith in the shipyard in Langkawi, Malaysia. A 45 day contract that takes ten months to complete.

The Gregg A Granger

Family Adventure

Telaga Harbor Marina is the terminus of the rally. All of us except Lorrie rent scooters to explore the island. We take off, Emily and Amanda on one and Greggii and I on the other, and make good fun of it until we get to the busy city streets of Kuah, where Emily takes over driving instead of Amanda and tips over. Both girls get skinned up a little, Emily on her elbow and hip, and Amanda on her elbow and knee. Never one to let something like this pass, Lorrie gives us a dramatic “I told you so.” We give her plenty of practice in the I told you so department. (pages 128-129)

We’re trapped, but realize too late that Wavemaster is only the bait. The trap is our creation, as we fall into feeling like victims, robbed of God’s plan for our lives. We try to escape on rungs of anger, frustration, and self-pity, but find the quality of our lives deteriorating. On days we choose to be victims, we waste God’s grace. Ardi is with us and becomes part of our family. We continue to mesh in the midst or even because of the frustrations. And we’re blessed with lasting friendships. (page 131)
