A Walk On the Wild Side<\/strong><\/p>\n

Even if
\nYou don\u2019t have
\na degree, like Me,
\nin Bible Lit –
\nwhy would You? –
\nMine was by
\ndefault,<\/p>\n

You know
\nThe Story:<\/p>\n

Disciple Peter
\nsees Jesus
\nmaking Light of
\nThe Laws of
\nPhysical Reality,<\/p>\n

Walking where
\nonly fish should
\ntread,
\nhiking the Waves
\nin sandals made
\nfor sand.<\/p>\n

Peter cries out,
\n\u201cMe too, please.”
\n(I want to Be
\nmore like Peter.)<\/p>\n

Jesus says,
\n\u201cCome on over,\u201d
\nlike He usually does.<\/p>\n

Peter leaves
\nthe boat –
\nStep 1, if You\u2019re
\ntaking Notes –
\nand<\/p>\n

Walks On Water!<\/p>\n

When Fear
\noverwhelms Him –
\nFear disapproves of
\nWalking On Water –<\/p>\n

Jesus steps in
\nand gives Peter
\na hand up –
\nthat\u2019s what
\nLove does –
\nand<\/p>\n

Peter learns about
\nFear and Love
\nand
\nWalking On Water.<\/p>\n

Where\u2019s the Water
\nYou want to
\nWalk On?<\/p>\n

Never Mind
\nThe Fear.<\/p>\n

Love\u2019s got You.<\/p>\n
