An apostle was the original 12 that follow Jesus throughout his three years of ministry, and 11 of the 12 was used to launch Christianity into the world. In Mark 6:7 Christ sends His disciples two by two, and He gave them the power to heal unclean spirits, and in verse 30 they return to Jesus to report all they had done. They also told Him what they had done, and in verse 31 Christ tells them come to a deserted place to rest a while. In verse 34 Christ and his disciples tried to get away from the crowd that came to find Him, and He looked at them like a sheep without a shepherd. His heart immediately filled with compassion.
In the book "12 Ordinary Men" by John MacArthur, he states apostleship begin like an internship where Christ would send His disciples out to let them test the water, and they came back with a report of great success. That great success was evident with the multitude of crowds following Jesus the way some adolescents would follow a rock star throughout the country. Christ gave them the power to cast out unclean spirits to be representatives of Him, and Christ gives all of His children when they accept Him the ability to be representatives of Him through His word, and actions that reveal our hearts.

"Politics Equal Shakespeare."
FDR once said nothing in politics happens by accident, and I do believe that statement is true. I believe that statement to be so true that I view politics as Shakespeare play to where the politcians like the governor, senator, house of representatives, local politicians like mayors, and presidents are the actors that portray the ideas of the writers. The writers of the Shakespeare are the people with the money throughout the world that stays behind the curtain to have others to carry out its agenda.
Viewing politics as shakespeare takes the stress out out of trying to figure out the politcians true agenda, and it does not allow us get disappointed when the candidate we voted for does not get elected or fails us by not living to its principle. If Shakespeare were living today to write play to take his audience away from reality, than he would have a hard time with that when people in reality are trying to create a fantasy world to where there would be no point in watching Shakespeares play.
Although to me the political play has been alot of comedy lately, and I am not referring to Colbert or Jon Stewart. If Shakespeare took his writing in a direction that was not comedy, than he may have a chance.
The comedy of the political play is that a politician tries to make these ridiculuous promises to where the eyes of the intelligient can see that they are empty, but there are not alot of eyes like that to where the eyes of the unintelligent are guided by these ridiculuos promises of the politicians that seem full to them. The unintelligient eyes are filled with empty air, yet they cannot see it. The unintelligent eyes get caught up in the drama of the fantasy that is the empty promises, and that is where the comedy of politics is right now. These politicians bring alot of misfit characters to help them sell these empty promises to the unintelligent eyes that never left thier childhood to where thier orginal guidance could no longer take care of them, and one of the empty promises of politicans is that BIG GOV will take care of them as long as unintelligent keep them in power. Politics is like Shakespeare that is making comical plays that make me laugh, but others will be disappointed.
