Ordinary People
People do not decide to become extraordinary. They decide to accomplish extraordinary things. (Sir Edmund Hilary, late New Zealand mountaineer and explorer)
Hilary and his Sherpa companion were the first to climb to the summit of Mount Everest in 1953. It was an extraordinary venture. But ordinary people can also accomplish extraordinary deeds. In One Drop of Water, author Jim Hocking credits God with using an ordinary guy to accomplish the extraordinary task of providing clean water for thousands in the Central African Republic.
The members of the council were amazed when they saw the boldness of Peter and John, for they could see that they were ordinary men . . . [but] they also recognized them as men who had been with Jesus (Acts 4:13).
