Write Stuff Group: St Matthew's Gospel 8:24-27

"And when he was entered into a ship, his disciples followed him. 24And, behold, there arose a great tempest in the sea, insomuch that the ship was covered with the waves: but he was asleep. 25And his disciples came to him, and awoke him, saying, Lord, save us: we perish. 26And he saith unto them, Why are ye fearful, O ye of little faith? Then he arose, and rebuked the winds and the sea; and there was a great calm. 27But the men marvelled, saying, What manner of man is this, that even the winds and the sea obey him!"

Dear Diary,
today i was fishing on the raging beach when I saw a lownly boat. I was shocked, why was that boat there. One figure arose shaking the floor it seemed. A white figure stood up and turned around to face his crew. I heard ' why are ye fearful, O ye little faith?' I stood up strait away when the cream white figure faced the sea to say calm. The air grew less and the water calmer. As the sun set over the blue liquid i asked my self who is this man?

The waves were copious the hungry bulldog towered over St Matthews disciples thy St Matthew was asleep he was like a sleeping field mouse, when he awaked. There was a deep silence in the sea from the waves and the storm, the disciples say " What a man, even the great winds and the sea obey this man, he is truly a saint !"

the villagers saw this great man tempt the beast into calmness, the boat was soon at shore and the men were drenched from the previous storm, thanks was given to St matthew.

Dear Diary,
Last week I saw a ramarcible sight, I was out fishing for the week and the waves were charging at me and my crew.After that we saw another boat. I don't know why but a man he was dressed in white he shouted at the waves. It was so strange he had calmed the raging stome. He was a ramarkible man.

A paranormal figure ascended from the boat, his robe waving in the wind. He lifted up his arms and made an almighty speech. An earsplitting voice departed from his mouth, echoing across the shore. It was silent. It was soon broken by the voices of our fishing crew speaking with wonder and mystery. As the beaming rays of sun skipped across the water i thought to myself, who is this man?

It was 14th December 2011, the morning had just arose. A raging storm had started, lashing and pummeling the blue liquid. Fine rain drops richoeted of the surface of the water in an ungraceful manner. Suddenley a paranormal figure acsended from the deck, he bellowed and screamed at the storm forming a capacious tunnel of substance whipping and spriling in the wind and cascading to the sand. It made a mighty drop onto the floor making a foamy capachino bubbling and fizzing, all was calm, local resident says it was a strange sight, even the wind and waves obey him.

The storm is calmed

on saturday the 17th of 20 AD a miricale happened.
The legend, known as Jesus has consummated one of the most terrific things, the storm was harsh and was rhapsodical.
by this time the abhorrent waves had climbed the small fishing boat it was terrifying. The saviour was assleep, then as Jesus arose we shown this master the loathsome waves. What, why did we have fear forfilling our hearts? We had a true lord with us, with a sudden clash the winds and the sea dropped. There was a great calm,
what a man this was even the storms obey him!

Stormy Sea Calmed

On the 14th October 104 ,He(unknown name)bought us aboard a wooden ship lonely on the golden sand, we entered the ship unknown of the lethal dangers that lay ahead. A great tempest arose in the sea. The ship got flushed by the angered waves. The waves attacked each side. A second before it was nearly time for our lives to end, The unusal man stood up and put his arms out and prayed for them too stop this.

The winds and sea stoped, we looked at each other. I said "The sea and the wind obeys him!".
Thero said " I can still hear the waves and wind burst though my ears.
Were all still aghast with fear and his magic.

WHO knows what he will do next.

On Saturday the 15th of November 20 AD a miracle happened.
The legend, known as Jesus had performed one of the most terrific things! The storm was harsh also horrid.
By this time the abhorrent waves had climbed the micro fishing boat, it was terrifying. The saviour was in rest and then as he rose we shown Jesus the loathsome waves. What, why did we have fear for filling our hearts? We have a true lord with us, with a sudden clash the winds and the sea had lost its sharp claws. Suddenly a great calm occurred,
what a man this was, even storms obey him!
