    Figured we needed something like this - Starcraft Prayer

    God grant me the serenity to accept the Starcrafts that I cannot restore; courage to rebuild the ones I can; and wisdom to know that one will never be enough. Bucking one rivet at a time; Enjoying that first splash every time; Accepting that I will have 5 times more money into my boat than...
