They were kind of like me...

From CMR. Read the entire post here. It's short and very thought-provoking:

...[I]f you're putting money down on whether this group of people who worshipped Jesus was going to change the world, I'm thinking you wouldn't put much on it.

It sounds like they'd rather feel sorry for themselves and take a nap. Worst apostles ever.

But that's the thing. Something happened. A miracle. Something transformed these dispirited sleepyheads into saints and heroes who would travel the Earth to preach about the Risen Lord. And they would change the world.

So this weekend I couldn't stop thinking about these men. It gives me hope that they were in shambles. Kind of like me.

Amen to that!
