Bow Shot

"And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment." Hebrews 9:27 Pretty strong statement, one shot, one chance through this life. We go through life with our eyes focused so closely on the task at hand or the current crisis that we fail to see the big picture. We …

NOT JUST ANY PORT IN THE STORM

We're heading back to the spot just before Jesus lead Peter back into the boat. Last time, we discussed how Peter had battled through a dark tempestuous night out in the middle of the wide open sea, at a time when it was truly man versus nature, without any of the modern nautical equipment around today and at the …
