Peter: The Impulsive Rock
Ron Clarkson
1 Peter 1:3
Prayer: Father, we thank you for Easter morning, that morning that your power was displayed thru the resurrection of your Son. The victory of the empty tomb, that is the uniqueness of the Christian message.
Father, take us back in our minds eye about 2,000 years. Take us back to the days when Jesus Christ walked the earth and help us walk in the sandals of those who Jesus walked with, talked with, and built his life into. . . the disciples.

When I look back at my life sometimes I had the grace of an avalanching boulder, just leveled anyone and anything in my way. Then at other times, I was like a little whimpy pebble, soft and smooth and just didn't want to get scuffed up. I guess that is why so many who have known me have considered me to be so- . . . so impulsive, so reactionary.
All my old fishing buddies use to say, "you all know Peter, the one with the sandal shaped mouth. I was always sticking my foot in my mouth, sometimes both of them at one time. My fishing buddies were pretty patient with ...
