I'm a Tax Collector

He spotted me through the crowd.

I was manning my post dutifully. Well, as dutifully as a tax collector can.

Rome would get theirs, and I would get mine. Just enough to ease the pain of selling myself to the emperor, enduring the hatred of my people, and overlooking how much I despise myself for this career I have chosen.

I was manning my post dutifully. As dutifully as a tax collector can, I assure you.

He spotted me through the crowd.

"Follow me and be my disciple," he said.

I am changed. I am no longer scum.

I am a disciple of Jesus Christ.
