"Vampires are lurks, a spin is a lie, toy is bad, but spled is good.

Boy the English language is losing it.

I should have treated it better. . ."

*Plus an OMFG!!! moment at the end*

I have a question

Why are all the organic/gourmet breads at the grocery store too big to fit in the toaster?

Is it not green or something to want to toast my bread?

New Sermon -- Excluded Middle

For St. Paul Presbyterian, Aurora, Colorado

Text: Matthew 14:22-33

I’m going to begin this from what will seem like a weird place.

I don’t know, because I’ve only visited here a few times, but it seems unlikely that you’ve heard many sermons that have started from this place.

You see, the thing is, for years when I’ve read this text, one of the first thing that has come to my mind has been what a jerk Jesus is in this passage.

There, I said it, for a long time I have though that, in this passage, and in particular in his interaction with Peter, Jesus is a bit of a jerk.

I mean c’mon, Peter steps out of the boat, Peter walks on water, then Peter realizes how amazing, how incredible what he’s doing is, has a moment of hesitation and starts to sink.

And what does Jesus say to him, to the only other human who has even come close to having enough faith to be able to walk on water?

Not “Good try, buddy,” or “Great start, you’ll get it next time.”

Nope, all Jesus has to say is, “You of little faith.”

“You of little faith.”

Jerk.
