Peter was as human as you and I, Rosie, and when Christ was crucified, he became intimidated by the mob that had crucified Christ. He thought he'd be next. So he denied Christ. Three times. Which the LORD already told him he would do before He went to the cross. So when the LORD rose on the third day and later appeared to Peter - he asked him three times - do you love me? On the third time, Jesus replied Feed my Sheep. And upon that Rock - Peter - the church was built. Not the Roman Church that claims Peter (who was married by the way - Jesus healed his mother in law - the bible warns about false preachers who forbid marriage - such as the RCC has a history of) but the real church which is the body of Christ. The Body of Christ is the true church which is why Jesus said he would raise that temple up in three days. What temple? The body of believers is the temple of the Holy Spirit. That's what He meant although at the time the Jews didn't understand what he meant) So yes, Peter's name means, The Rock. The name Peter is a Greek name. Not Hebrew. Interesting fact - Peter was called to preach to the Jews while Paul the apostle was called to preach to the Gentiles. The Romans must have missed that little detail. Ya think?
One more interesting fact - when a person converts to Judaism - they have to ask 3 times to the Rabbi before he will go forward with the conversion - because it is a sign that they are sincere in their desire to come to G-d. A Jewish friend of mine told me about that and said that is why she believes that Jesus asked Peter three times. It is how it was done by the Rabbi's. Whether this is still done today - I do not know. I should ask one of the Rabbis at United With Israel next time I get the chance.

It's a lot of work. I almost fainted after picking and shucking over 2 bushels of butter beans years ago. When I was finished my friend who survived the depression said to me, you're not finished. You have to lay those out on a sheet, put a fan on them and cool them down!
Cool them down? I was close to fainting from the heat that day! Add to this she informed me after they "cooled down" ( Imagine that Georgia Southern Drawl when saying coool down.....) she said I had to par boil (that's pah boil in Southern language) them and bag them individually to freeze. That was my last time for butter beans. I let my husband do the purple hall peas now and I buy my butter beans in a can. Seriously. Those are not easy to shuck and prepare. A lot of work!

I have no doubt that Peter was a person------the important story I heard about him is that he was crucified in Rome---and
he, himself, decided to be crucified ---upside down. That's why I call him macho.-----it was a kind of act of "up yours"
As to the ask three times (or knock three times ---on the
radiator---if you love me~~~~la la ) Yes ---they still do that
"no you can't" thing and require a three times persistence----sheeeeeeesh!!! Also the name PETER means "rock"---I think in Greek. Here is another tiny factoid------EVAN --the name--is Hebrew for rock that makes EBENEZER SCROOGE-------eben --rock ezer --something like 'helper'

the rock which helps (????) Scrooge. JOHN---is
YOCHANAN---it means ----"G-d's Grace"-------which would
be a good nom de plume for the book of revulsions---diverts

I grew up in the north east------in a state KNOWN for its tomatoes and CORN------the only thing we shuck is corn---
not at all difficult. To be honest----I have no idea what a
BUTTER BEAN IS-------one day I did figure it out-----but then forgot------it is some species of kidney bean?

On this Day, may Jesus be present be in your home.
