"And when He had finished speaking, He said to Simon, ‘Put out into the deep water and let down your nets for a catch.’ And Simon answered and said, ‘Master, we worked hard all night and caught nothing, but at Your bidding I will let down the nets.’" Luke 5:4-5 NASB

One trait of the Lord’s disciples is unconditional obedience. A disciple must obediently follow what his Master says to do even if it does not seem to make sense. Simon Peter was a professional fisherman. He and his fellow fishermen had caught no fish all night. Yet, he was willing to obey the Lord’s command. He let down his nets and caught a great number of fish. Today, believers must also obey what Jesus has said. We find His words in the Bible and must obediently apply them to our lives.

Have you been watching the wrecking crew working on the old buildings between FUMC and FBC near the water tower? It seems that in less than a week, these men and their 'toys' moved in and suddenly made the eyesores disappear. Now you can almost see the 'north pole'. Changed the whole appearance of that side of town. Now what? Who knows!

“Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field:  But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way.  But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also.  So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? From whence then hath it tares?  He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up?  But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them.  Let both grow together until the harvest: and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn” Matthew 13:24-30.

This past Sunday my husband and I were sitting at the table after dinner observing some beautiful white fluffy clouds.  We began to think of Bible texts that speak of clouds which prompted a study on the subject.  I’d like to share that with you.
