A Checkup

Both St. Peter and St. Paul ran away from Christ.  Peter ran away because of fear.  Paul ran away because of zeal.  Each day I wake up, I ask myself, "What am I afraid of? and What am I zealous for?"  Sometimes the things I am zealous for are no good for me.  I am so zealous for something that it takes the place of something that will connect me with God.  Sometimes, the things that I fear are what will lead me to God.  Things to ponder.
