It is somewhat of a misnomer,ordinarysaint.But I didnt choose this pseudonym without thinking about it.Because I didnt want you to read it without thinking about it.Everybody cant be extraordinary.If we were well,extraordinary would be ordinary.And maybe thats where Im leaning.There is something in everyones life that is not ordinary.
Therefore Ordinary
Saint.The Catholic view is that a saint is one who posseses extra holiness.Catholics generally have to wait for significant posthumous decomposition to be titled a saint.Christianity affords no such waiting period.We have the responsibility upon adoption.
Therefore Saint
Essentially there should be nothing ordinary about a saint.But we slog through life like everyone else.We get laid off,we lose friends,we fail as husbands and wives.We secretly enjoy breadsticks at Olive Garden way to much.
But we shouldnt slog.
The ordinary part is that we are human.
The extraordinary part is that we are saints.
The second should say more about us than the first.
