retreating to the familiar

When we are afraid, when we do not know the way, and when we have lost our path our natural response is to retreat to the familiar.  When courage asks us to move forward, the familiar woos us back to the place of safety and static.

On a week where the disciples denied, betrayed, and fled, it is not so uncommon for us to remember how they retreat to the older versions of themselves.  I never knew the man - yes it seems that you still really don't.

Where have you retreated?  Don't be shocked if it's a place of familiarity.
