“Should I have really asked to set up three tents on that mountain?”
“I can’t believe I cut his ear off!”
“Did we really ask Jesus to destroy that city?”
“How could we have slept, when he needed us most?”
“I can’t believe I denied him three times.”
“Why could I not have just walked to him on the water?”

Here’s the encouraging thing though; Jesus used men that needed several do-over’s, to continue to carry his message. And from what I see and hear he is doing the same through you! Peace be with your ministries (especially the most important one…your family).

I love your stories, thoughts and sense of humor. You are poignant without being preachy. I wish ministry gave us mulligans too Josh. Sounds painful. I love your stories, thoughts and sense of humor.
