Discipleship is sometimes defined by being normal.

A woman in a small Arkansas community was a single mom with a frail baby. Her
neighbor would stop by every few days and keep the child so she could shop.
After some weeks her neighbor shared more than time; she shared her faith, and
the woman did what Matthew did. She followed Christ.

The friends of the young mother objected. "Do you know what those people
teach?" they contested.

"Here is what I know," she told them. "They held my baby."

I think Jesus likes that kind of answer, don't you?
