Walking on Air
The winds howled and and the waves crashed onto the boat as they rowed, steadfast in their attempt to make it across the Sea of Galilee. They battled against the lake, their exhaustion building. It wasn’t until fourth watch and about three and a half miles in when he came to them, walking on water. […]
