When I first arrived at this boat launch area, something did not look quite right, and it took a moment to realize the boat was upside down. Someone standing nearby commented that the motor must be under water. Sure enough, the propeller is sticking straight up.
Since the boat is near the boat ramp, I’m guessing it fell over from a trailer while loading, and was too heavy to set right side up. I doubt it was intentionally flipped.
It makes me think about the things we do intentionally. At my work, they talk about how developing a positive workplace is done by intention. It doesn’t happen by accident. When Jesus told the parable about the Good Samaritan, he showed how the man helped his neighbor intentionally.
I like the idea of doing good things with intention whether it is at home or work or with a neighbor. I even wonder if it can help avoid a few problems like what happened with this boat.
