Every year around this time...

...a particular Bible passage comes to mind...

The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"


Sometimes I feel like a day doesn't go by where I wish the Lord could get me out of trouble! It's Matthew chapter 8, vs. 25; where Jesus calms the storm. Chapter 8, vs 25 has a lot more in common with me than you might think. It's also my Birthday verse; and it's a great present to have! As the Lord states, I do have little faith.
23Then he got into the boat and his disciples followed him. 24Without warning, a furious storm came up on the lake, so that the waves swept over the boat. But Jesus was sleeping. 25The disciples went and woke him, saying, "Lord, save us! We're going to drown!"
26He replied, "You of little faith, why are you so afraid?" Then he got up and rebuked the winds and the waves, and it was completely calm.
27The men were amazed and asked, "What kind of man is this? Even the winds and the waves obey him!"

Luckily I've read the rest of the Bible, and I can only begin to imagine what type of Man Jesus really is.
