You don't have to be weird to follow Jesus.

You don't have to stop liking your friends to follow him.

Just the opposite.

This is Max Lakato.

Some time ago I was part of a for some form for some for golf that included two preachers,

a church leader, and a guy who wasn't a Christ follower.

The thought of four hours with all of us didn't appeal to him.

His best friend, a Christ follower, and his boss insisted, so he agreed. I'm happy to report that on

the ninth hole he said, I'm so glad you guys are normal. I think he meant this.

I'm glad you didn't get in my face or clubbed me with a King James driver.

Thanks for laughing at my jokes and telling a few yourself.

We didn't lower standards, but neither did we saddle a high horse.

Discipleship is sometimes defined by being normal. This is Max
