Rock and Roll

Peter told Him, "Even if everyone runs away, I will certainly not!" - Mark 14:29

Peter (the Rock) might have been wrong, but he was never in doubt!

He was the first out of the boat, but also the first to sink. He was the first to speak up on the mount, but he was also the first to be silenced. Of course, he was also one of the first to follow, yet one of the first to run away. It seemed that if a thought or idea crossed Peter's mind it also crossed his lips and moved him to action.

Unfortunately, many of us suffer from the same malady, but the blessing of aging (if there is one) is that with it comes (hopefully) a little wisdom, a little restraint, and a few less embarrassing mistakes.

In other words, it is good to be a "rock," but you just have to be careful where you "roll."

Zeal is fit for wise men, but flourishes chiefly among fools. - John Tillotson
