Because in the end it doesn't matter. John's section of the bible calls the other disciples by name but when he refers to himself he writes "and the one who Jesus loved".
Now at first I thought, wait, isn't John putting himself on a higher platter than the others? But he's not. He knows that one thing matters. He knows that titles and proving himself falter in the face of Jesus. He knows that what should define him is Jesus and that the only title worth fighting for is "the one who Jesus loved."
I went to a Toby Mac concert tonight and there was this really awesome back up vocalist named Nirva Ready, she had quite a stylin' do. And Toby preached a message that influenced the above paragraphs.
I'm really thankful for the wonderful, unique people in my life. Everyone brings new stories and personalities and it's wonderful.
There are some broski cats.
