Intimate Moment with Peter

Peter has always been one of my favorite disciples. This encounter is perhaps the only time that Peter chooses his words carefully. After that, he's constantly putting his foot in it. The one thing Peter leaves that isn't mentioned, is his wife. I wonder about her feelings in all of this: he's leaving not only a decent livlihood, but taking a drastic move to follow an itinerant preacher to his death. We only hear about her once... when Jesus cures her of fever, and she's obviously still on speaking terms with Peter, because she gets up and serves them.

The prayer was the most helpful to me..."call me from a shallow faith near the shore, which requires no risks... call me to a deeper commitment to you." Many of my friends know that I have no trouble with risk. It's the deep commitment part that stalls me every time.
