Walking on Water
Jerry had heard a family rumor that his father, grandfather and even his great-grandfather had all “walked on water” on their 21st birthdays.
So, on his 21st birthday, he and his good friend, Brian, headed out to the lake. “If THEY could do it, so can I!” Jerry told Brian.
Jerry and Brian arrived at the lake and rented a boat. They paddled out to the middle. Jerry stepped off the side of the boat…and almost drowned!
Furious, he had Brian drive him back to the family farm, and he asked his grandmother why HE hadn’t been blessed with the same “gift” as the other men in his family.
Grandmother took Jerry by the hands, looked into his eyes, and said, “Dear, that’s because your father, grandfather, and great-grandfather were born in January. You were born in July.
