Peter's plight - the hour has come

⁴¹ Returning the third time, he said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting?

Enough! The hour has come. Look, the Son of Man is delivered into the hands of sinners. ⁴² Rise! Let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” Mark 14

I'm sad.  Since Jan.1 2016 I have written everyday in this blog, that is until yesterday.  I had an opportunity to finish this in the middle of the day. Then life happened and i was busy.  The next time I was aware it was after midnight.  I knew that I could not go back and insert the blog.  That day was gone.  I personally experienced something similar to Peter's loss.  Now to start writing again without loosing momentum.  Here is a poem of Peter's plight.

The hour has come!

Twice awakened and three times we slept

Strangest of dreams in the night

Passover meal together we kept

Exhaustion and fatigue is our plight

Why are we so tired we wonder

Why is it the Master we fail

He goes and prays over yonder

Yes our sleep feels so swell

Wake up the time is here

Your chance to prepare is spent

Not even a moment to shed a tear

Already the course is bent

Can’t go back in time

Can’t change what was done

This mountain we can’t climb

All is lost save the son

Grace, grace, God’s grace        

Help me redeem what was lost

You’ve freedom to set my pace

Help me to count the cost
