God has a habit of calling and using the unlikely: Noah was a drunk, Abraham was too old, Jacob was a liar, Leah was ugly, Joseph was abused, Moses had a stuttering problem, Gideon was afraid, Samson was a womanizer, Rahab was a prostitute, David was an adulterer and a murderer, Elijah was suicidal, Jonah ran from God, Naomi was a widow, Job went bankrupt, Peter denied, the Disciples fled, Martha worried, the Samaritan woman was divorced, Zacchesus was too small and Lazarus was dead!

Liked your post...another example...

...the leaders of the early church the Apostles were as the last of all, like men sentenced to death, they become a spectacle to the world, to angels, and to men...fools for Christ’s sake, weak...held in disrepute....they went hungry and thirsty, they were poorly dressed and buffeted and homeless, they labored working with their own hands....they became like the scum of the world, the refuse of all things. 1 Cor 4

You forgot Paul’s conversion from Christian-killer.

Splendid line-up, makes me smile and say “Praise God!” I’ll probably be quoting it sometime, but I will be sure to attribute it to you, my FReeper friend!
