Do you remember the commercial that was running just before, and during the 2002 Olympics? The one that had snapshots of different people playing or watching hockey throughout the country? Everybody yells out “He shoots, he scores!” The tag line at the end is, “If we all shout it loud enough,

Let down the nets? Give me a break!
But then...Luke says, “When they had done so, they caught such a large number of fish that their nets began to break.” Not the kind of break Peter had in mind. Not the kind of outcome he had in mind either. Have you ever reached to lift something -- a milk jug,

YOUR PAIN IN MY HEART
Until we walk where others walk, we usually don’t care much about what they are going through. This is why so many people who experience tragedy, start support groups to help others like themselves. Until we hurt we are not much help.
