He walked on water to reach the apostles’ storm-tossed boat and clamed the storm for them. Our God is always willing to come to us, and will not overawe us in doing so. Do you and I want him to? Inviting Jesus into your heart each day as you rise is the best way to start the day. Come Lord Jesus be our guest, our helper friend and guide through the day. The festival was an amazing success last Sunday at St. Anthony’s. Many people gave so generously of their time to make it happen, the wonderful festival volunteers, and many donors helped make it possible as well through their generous donations of gifts of money for prizes. God bless each and all of who showed up at St. Anthony’s. Because so many came, I can push St. Anthony’s people to come to our tri-parish festivals in return as a thank you. Father Glen Jenson
