What’s a job you would like to do for just one day?

Though it is not exactly a Job for a day, I can relate to others in history, specifically the bible, and what work they did. No need to panic! I didn’t say that I could be them for a day, I simply mean that I can relate to them in a way. It’s funny…when I think of relating to the prophets and disciples and servants in the bible, I feel akin to an interesting handful…

Jonah, my man, you and I know about running away…

David, we loved really hard and we fell on our faces really hard too…

Peter, oh Peter, how I never thought that I could deny my God, and then I did…

Job, my brother, how even the strong taste of ash in our mouths could not surpass a grateful heart…

John the Baptist…my kindred spirit perhaps, well, I get why you spoke so intensely to any who were before you.  I too struggle to house so much emotion, so much love for God, and so much passion to share with any who would listen…

Maybe I simply relate to John the Baptist’s wild side; the getting in trouble when I talk too much part, or perhaps simply his intensity!  Again, it may not be a job I want for the day, and I do not say that I am anything like those souls by comparison, I am just saying that I can relate to them, that’s all!
