Patrosky to Peter to Patrosky to Peter again....

By far hands down Peter in the Bible is my favorite person because of how real he was. I can totally relate to a person that is so full of zeal for the Lord that you do crazy things. When you look at Peter, though he is always with the other disciples he is always written about alone. When Peter walked on the water he wasn't alone the other disciples were there but he had the courage to step out. On the day of Pentecost and everyone was filled with the Holy Spirit Peter stood up with the other 11 disciples but only he spoke... I guess what I'm trying to say is that many will stand up but only few will stand out. I would rather live my life like Peter, full of passion and ready for action cutting off ears and cursing at children lol.. But for real I never want to settle into a life of comfortable choices and fallen dreams. In the movie Transformers the girl (who's name is Mikaela by the way) asked the guy if they should get in the car (Bumble bee) after they just watched these "cars" turn into robots and fight each other. She was scared and asked if they should get into the car and go. He looks at her and says "do you want to look back 50 years from now and say you didn't have the guts to get in the car" that's my favorite line of that movie or in Brave Heart right before the big fight he tells them "they can run and live, but one day when there old and gray and in there beds they will give up every day from then till now to come back and face there oppressors for there freedom" I never want look back and say that I let fear stop me from living a life full of adventure or complacency got in the way of my dreams especially when it comes to the things of God. I want to walk on water, swim to the shore instead of paddle, rush the tomb, fight the soldiers, live like Simon but have my name changed to Peter, and at the end of it all go out still knowing that I am not worthy.
