The transfiguration

Matthew
Peter is so real.  By that I mean, he doesn't wait to act.  In today's reading, he saw Jesus transfigured on a mountain, and immediately he thought to build shelters for Jesus, Moses, and Elijah.  How great it would have been to stay on that mountain, surrounded by the glory of God and the greatest God-followers of all time.  But we can't always stay in that attitude of revelation.  At some point, Jesus had to move on and accomplish the rest of his mission.  In the same way, when we hear from God, we can't stay in that zone.  We've got to take what we've heard or learned, and let it shape us into even more committed, more mature followers of Christ.
