Who can be both at the same time? Not I.<BR/>Peter's faith was totally focused on Jesus until he was distracted by the wind and waves. Imagine, Peter was focused on Jesus' eyes and made it to Jesus before he "Lost it" because of the surrounding distractions.<BR/>Have you ever seen a tight rope walker? Talk about Focused! But a rope walker's focus relies on the strength of his or her own talent and ability to get them to their point of focus, not faith. We as Christians rely not on our focus on what is seen, but on our faith in that which we cannot see with our eyes.Mark Bugyihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09317328459253428546noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789069518523593798.post-21890014295819857262008-03-05T19:57:00.000-05:002008-03-05T19:57:00.000-05:00Thank you for checking in on Paw Paw.Things are no...Thank you for checking in on Paw Paw.<BR/>Things are not doing well. I hate to keep posting the ups and downs.<BR/>They tried to take him of the ventilator today and he started to crash.<BR/>The family has decided that tomorrow when they try again that if that happens again they will not put him back on.He will go on to be with his heavenly Father. My heart is pretty tender right now.<BR/>Thank you for your prayers.<BR/>How is your dad doing?

When he did become aware of them is when he began to sink. We will never know for sure but that's how I see it.<BR/><BR/>I've been just doing what I feel he is leading me to do lately. When I begin to question, I stop immediately and say "no" and then move on. It is scary on the flesh side!!!<BR/>Susan <BR/>SusanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11360047123820906113noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789069518523593798.post-67229054363369336182008-03-05T09:28:00.000-05:002008-03-05T09:28:00.000-05:00There is something my husband and I each have been...There is something my husband and I each have been thinking about doing sometime in the future, and it would definitely require us to "step out of the boat". I'm not ready yet, but when the time comes I hope that I will have the faith to do it.Kathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15822633179972256847noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4789069518523593798.post-3366087754079874952008-03-04T22:15:00.000-05:002008-03-04T22:15:00.000-05:00I want to be willing to step right out for Jesus.I want to be willing to step right out for Jesus.Denisehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275456448997619944noreply@blogger.com
