Although the Adult Bible Study doesn’t meet during the summer, it’s good to listen to and read the scriptures during the week. In Sunday’s gospel lesson (Matthew 14: 22-33) Jesus walks on water and calls to Peter, who also walks on water. When does he falter? When do we falter? How are we caught when we start to sink?
