Swamped

A few Sundays ago, our Gospel told us the story of Peter walking on the water to Jesus, sinking, and being rescued by Jesus. Bible School has used this story as one of their lessons as well. To teach the lesson, there is a mixture of cornstarch..... LOTS OF CORNSTARCH.... and water that when it is mixed together allows you to have the experience of walking on water. If you walk over it quickly and keep moving, you can walk all the way across it. If you stop in your tracks, you sink and get stuck in the muck. It teaches the kids who've walked across it a great lesson. We are called to keep walking with our eyes on Jesus. Even when we are swamped with too much to do, too many worries, too many arguments, too many obligations, we are called to keep walking with our eyes fixed on Jesus. Then, we can keep going knowing we are headed in a right direction.
