After feeding 5000 people with not much to work with but, miraculously pulling it off anyway, Jesus needed a break.
So he does what a lot of us want to do all the time ... go to the beach ... get in a boat ... head off shore ... relax.
It's always a good plan.
But he makes the mistake of taking his buddies who are more into fishing, drinking beer and looking at girls in Bikinis on the beach.
Jesus just wants to C.H.I.L.L.
Grabbing a pillow, he heads into the bow and takes a nap.
I'm the first to tell you naps are great and wonderful things.
Sarah's not a napper but I find them glorious and wonderful! The world would be a much better place if everybody took naps every day.
I'm tired as Hell today and am already looking forward to today's nap!
Just as Jesus got into that comfy spot, sleeping good and having great dreams about Mary Magdalene, a storm blows in and his buddies get pissed ... then scared ... so what do they do?
They wake him up!
There's nothing worse from being woken up from a good nap, especially if good dreams are involved ... it pisses you off cause it's hard to reclaim a good sleep.
"HEY!" his buddies yell, "how can you sleep? Don't you care about us? Do something!"
With his hair askew from the pillow, rubbing his eyes, with visions of Mary Magdalene still in his mind, Jesus says, "CUT IT OUT!"
His buddies shut up and the storm blew on pass.
"JESUS CHRIST!" Jesus says, "What are y'all so damn afraid of?"
The Bible doesn't say what happens next but I imagine Jesus went back to sleep not giving a rat's ass about his buddies who apparently felt bad about waking him up.
The lesson is obvious ... if somebody's taking a nap ... leave them alone.
