Saint John

quote:
Kind, caring, and easy to love, you give the world’s best hugs and can light up a room with your smile. You love nothing more than spending time with your friends and family. Easygoing and good-natured, you’re rarely angry except when your loved ones are in trouble. Everyone loves being around you. You’re basically the human equivalent of a Golden Retriever puppy.
I'm quite happy with that.

Arf, arf!

Sounds good to me. Somewhat accurate, or at least in what I aspire to be. [Smile]

S. Matthew

You’re easily the nerdiest person in your group of friends, and you’re 100% okay with that. People looking for you can always find you in the library with your nose in a good book. You firmly believe in the Golden Rule and often go out of your way to help people, just because you can. You’re a pretty awesome human being!

I got that too, except I'd picked Israel, the baby and depression. I also picked orange. Maybe it's all in the loaf of bread. "Simon, feed my sheep"?

James the Less but like Horseman Bree no idea why.

They seem to be going strictly on the apostles not the disciples (and not Paul or Matthias). Anyone get Mary Magdalene or Martha or Mary of Bethany.
