Paul, the little old Jewish mother! :)

I may have written about this before but it still strikes me as funny.  To me Paul sounds like the stereotypical little old Jewish mother.  What I mean by that is the whole laying on the guilt trip thing. 

I think a good reference of what I am talking about from current culture would be the show Big Bang Theory.  Wolowitz lives with his Mom and she will do that to him many times.  The whole "look at all I do for you and all I gave up, etc".  

It just makes me chuckle to think of St. Paul like that.  :)

2 Corinthians 11:22-29(NKJV)

22Are they Hebrews? So am I. Are they Israelites? So am I. Are they the seed of Abraham? So am I. 

23Are they ministers of Christ?—I speak as a fool—I am more: in labors more abundant, in stripes above measure, in prisons more frequently, in deaths often. 

24From the Jews five times I received forty stripes minus one. 

25Three times I was beaten with rods; once I was stoned; three times I was shipwrecked; a night and a day I have been in the deep; 

26in journeys often, in perils of waters, in perils of robbers, in perils of my own countrymen, in perils of the Gentiles, in perils in the city, in perils in the wilderness, in perils in the sea, in perils among false brethren; 

27in weariness and toil, in sleeplessness often, in hunger and thirst, in fastings often, in cold and nakedness—

28besides the other things, what comes upon me daily: my deep concern for all the churches. 

29Who is weak, and I am not weak? Who is made to stumble, and I do not burn with indignation?
