Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. 26 When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear.
27 But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.”
28 “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.”
29 “Come,” he said.
Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. 30 But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!”
31 Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?”
32 And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. 33 Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.

: Hi Pete, I like cricket, tennis, soccer and
: cycling. Games have rules. It’s not a case
: of division. Prisoners during the wars
: often played soccer, stick ball, and so on
: against their guards.
:
: I think games bring people closer to all
: that is embroiled in humanity. In our
: humanness. I’m thinking here of the
: classic, ‘Chariots of Fire’.
:
: I can understand that a spectator may see
: the game as being an assault towards the
: other (i’m thinking here re, Aussie
: football and Grid Iron..I don’t like these
: games. I find them too rough, violent if you
: like). Games like cricket, need team work.
: And, players are trained to strive for that
: oneness or that unification of being ‘team’
: within the confines of ‘rules’...and these
: rules constitute the game.
:
: I’m not comparing Catholicism and cricket
: here but if the Church didn’t have rules
: well, what a mess things would be. Rules
: are necessary...and on a brighter note may
: well help keep you ahead of the game,
: so-to-speak!
: Cheers

: Fine, play it. See what happens. You're not
: gonna like it. We did that in the 20th
: century. The right-wingers played it in Nazi
: Germany, and the left-wingers played it
: throughout the Communist world. And all that
: happened is that we stacked up the corpses.
: Millions of them. It's not a good game. The
