“Hey Jesus, remember that ‘walking on water’ thing that Peter did?”
Dennis Hefty, Salem, Oregon

Thank you to all those who submitted caption entries for our Winter 2024 cartoon, based on Matthew 8:24–26: “A windstorm arose on the sea, so great that the boat was being swamped by the waves; but [Jesus] was asleep. And they went and woke him up, saying, ‘Lord, save us! We are perishing!’ And he said to them, ‘Why are you afraid, you of little faith?’” We are pleased to congratulate Dennis Hefty of Salem, Oregon, who wrote the winning caption, and our runners-up:
