When Jesus called his new followers, they didn't respond with a "Cool, I'll just check my iPAQ and see when I can fit it in". I see it being more like: Jesus, pointing his finger: "You, you and you - follow me!" And they did. So they risked everything - and they went on to learn. ------------------------------------------------------ - You are subscribed to the mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] - To unsubscribe, email [EMAIL PROTECTED] and put in the message body 'unsubscribe insights-l' (ell, not one (1)) See: http://nsw.uca.org.au/insights-l-information.htm ------------------------------------------------------
