Here is today's communion meditation.

 My youngest daughter's favorite Bible story is about Jesus' walking on the water. She likes me to tell the story over and over of how Peter starts walking on the water to Jesus, but when he became fearful of the storm he began to sink.  As he is sinking, Peter cries out to Jesus and Jesus stretches out his hand to pull him up. 

But then I always ask my daughter the question... How did they get back to the boat?

Did Peter swim while Jesus walked?

Did Jesus give Peter a piggyback ride or carry him back?

Did Jesus hold onto Peter's hand and drag him through the water back to the boat?

When I ask my daughter how they went back to the boat, she always says they walked with Jesus holding his hand. I don't know if this is true but it seems like the most logical answer. As long as Peter was holding onto Jesus, he could walk on the water back to the boat. 

In today's communion we are asking God how they got back to the boat, and what it means for us today.

Today's Health and Fitness Tip

Mastering basic bodyweight exercises such as squats, pushups, situps, and even pullups can do a lot for our fitness. If you are just getting started with fitness this is one of the best places to start and it doesn't require any equipment. 

I am praying for you.
