| 0:00.0 | Welcome to today's encouragement from Our Daily Bread. |
| 0:10.6 | Our Reading titled Deep Waters was written by Patricia Rabin. |
| 0:16.8 | When Bill Pinckney sailed solo around the world in 1992, |
| 0:22.7 | taking the hard route around the perilous great southern capes, |
| 0:27.3 | he did it for a higher purpose. |
| 0:30.5 | His voyage was to inspire and educate children. |

| 2:12.9 | Today's Our Daily Bread Devotional Scripture reading is from Proverbs chapter 20, verses 4 through 5, and 24 through 25. |
| 2:23.6 | Sluggards do not plow in season, so at harvest time, they look but find nothing. |
