Maybe Peter is supposed to be the model for our faith. A human model. Imperfect. Blundering. But he never stops trying to learn.

Listen to each other. Make space for the way God shines in each person. Make space for the way God shines in you.

The kingdom of heaven is like you pausing to notice it all around you.
