That Sinking Feeling… What the…? Waves suddenly splash over my feet… Where did that wind come from? I'm terrified… The waves are splashing higher and higher! My feet sink into the sea, Has He deserted me? Save me! I sink like a rock… Where is the Shining Light? The waves dash over my head. Surprised fish swim around me. Deeper…Deeper… And that rooster is still with me! Matthew 14:30
