They were fishermen,
ordinary men
unordained believers, cast
into the sea
into the wilderness, the
desert, the world
to become fishers of men,
changed forever
knowing Jesus, not enough
alone
needing to be emboldened
further, tempered
The indwelling Spirit, the
Spirit of God
growing power within them,
giving them power, authority
to heal, to preach, to speak
truth to power
to spread the Good News to
the Temple,
to the streets, out into the
world
