Got Faith?

Friday June 30th, Mark 4: 39 He got up, rebuked the wind and said to the waves, "Quiet! Be still!" Then the wind died down and it was completely calm. 40 He said to his disciples, "Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?" The Jesus connection is to bring peace to the wind and the waves and the chaos around us begins to settle down. Our tendency is to selfishly want to drive the biggest car we can afford and hang the gas mileage and the pollution it causes, the warmer waters bring us all sorts of responses, from more and stronger hurricanes to coastal villages being washed into the sea. One way is connected to the God of creation; the other is linked to our creation of a god. Why are you so afraid? Do you still have no faith?

I love to sail..I`ve done it in the Atlantic. In the Gulf of Mexico..Lake Erie..Many years have past and one of the things I`ve noticed is how much clearer and cleaner our skies have become...More and more sun heating the water in the gulf ....so the question is not all that clear in my mind...Just a thought...Why are you so afraid?
