Lord, grant me the patience to be persistent and not procrastinate as I proceed on the path to obtain my goals and fulfill my dreams. Give me strength to press forward, even in the face of setbacks and disappointment, strong winds and difficult trials. Help me to put every victory and every roadblock in a positive perspective and grant me the favor of your manifold blessings. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.

Judge Denise Page Hood and Pastor Nick Hood talking about long term marriage
1 Corinthians 13 If I speak in the tongues of mortals and of angels, but do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. 2 And if I have prophetic powers, and understand all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith, so as to remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. 3 If I give away all my possessions, and if I hand over my body so that I may boast, but do not have love, I gain nothing. 4 Love is patient; love is kind; love is not envious or boastful or arrogant 5 or rude. It does not insist on its own way; it is not irritable or resentful; 6 it does not rejoice in wrongdoing, but rejoices in the truth. 7 It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.

Prayer: God, You have given me a light, and I promise to let it shine! You have made me in a way that is different from every other person. I may not be the smartest or most fast person in the world, but there is no one who is exactly like me. Grant me the courage and confidence to let my light shine everywhere I go, and to everyone I meet. Let me shine my light in a manner that gives glory to you and draws others to your power, mercy and love. In Jesus name I pray. Amen. Written by Pastor Nick Hood Questions for Reflection 1.

Matthew 14: 22 Immediately he made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. 23 And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, 24 but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. 25 And early in the morning he came walking toward them on the sea. 26 But when the disciples saw him walking on the sea, they were terrified, saying, “It is a ghost!” And they cried out in fear. 27 But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, “Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.”
28 Peter answered him, “Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.” 29 He said, “Come.” So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Lord, save me!” 31 Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, “You of little faith, why did you doubt?” 32 When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. 33 And those in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
Today I want to talk about, “Get out the boat”
My message starts with Jesus teaching and feeding 5000 people on a mountain
After feeding the 5000 with five loaves of bread and 2 fish, Jesus tells the disciples to get in a boat and sail to the other side of the Sea of Galilee…(Tell the Story…)
Lessons from the story:
It begins with a spectacular miracle of Jesus healing, teaching and feeding 5000 people
Jesus tells the disciples to leave him with the crowd and sail to the other side of the Sea of Galliee
Jesus was comfortable as the center of attention in a crowd
While sailing, the disciples are caught in a storm
Lesson: often in life, the unexpected will happen
We almost need to plan for the unexpected
In the midst of the storm, Jesus is walking on the water towards the disciples
Lesson: Jesus is capable of doing the unexpected,m the unnatural, and the unexpected!
Peter shouts out to Jesus, “Bid me to come unto you…”
Peter then gets out of the boat and walks on water
Think for a moment what it means for Peter to get out of the boat
Peter walks on the water until he looks down at the waves
You and I are like Peter in that we do well until the waves of life start to rise
Peter calls out to jesus – “Lord, save me!”
When the bottom falls out of life, call out to the Lord!”
Too often, we call out to everyone but the Lord
I believe someone here today is like the disciples – afraid to get out from the boat of your comfort zone!

It is Friday morning Lord, the early dew is cool and refreshing with a mint breeze. I have stretched on the floor lifted my legs up high against the closet doors, said my morning prayers, taken the lawn and leaf bags to the street in an effort to beat the garbage truck and now I sit down on this dark, silent couch to offer this little prayer:
Grant me this day the presence of mind to be patient in my preparation, calm and confident in my commitment to you, faithful in my devotion, and loving and kind to all whom I meet. May this be a glorious day in thy sight. In Jesus name I pray. Amen.
