Don't Rock the Boat!... IT is hard to try new things. Whether it is new food... a new activity... a new relationship... new things can be very scary. We just do not know what will happen. At the same time, we become known by the things that we do. We are a jock... we are a cheerleader... we are an artist... we are a Christian... we are a nerd. These labels make as sad somethings, but they become a place we feel safe. Leaving the label to try something new... can cause so much insecurity... both for us... but also for everyone who has locked us into a particular group in the minds. So there is a voice both inside our heads, but also in the crowd saying, "HEY... stick to the stuff you know... don't rock the boat!" But... I want to be a different voice... "there is nothing quite as fun and exciting as an white water rafting... a little shake in the boat is a good things."Eleven disciples stayed in the boat. (Matthew 14:33...)
They stuck to the stuff they knew... a nice safe boat...
but one got out...
If peter lacked faith... what did that mean for them?
