 So in a reading from Mark this morning, Jesus and the disciples are in a boat crossing the Sea of Galilee when a great windstorm arises. And this is no small storm. Several of the disciples are professional fishermen, and they are terrified. The waves beat into the boat, and the boat is filling with water until it's about to capsize. And the disciples wake up Jesus, who is asleep in the stern, and cry out, Teacher, do you not care that we are perishing?
