Down here in Honduras this month in LUKE certain themes have grabbed me: Jesus' hero, it seems, was a poor widow who "put in all she had to live on" (Lk 21).
And a few weeks back I had noticed that the disciples "pulled their boats up on shore, left everything and followed him" (Luke 5)
And later I noticed that "Levi got up, left everything and followed him".
And I recall that my Master tells me, "any of you who does not give up everything he has cannot be my disciple" (Lk 14).
I chew on this, and mull it over.....how do I apply the everything/all concept?

Yes! and, Yes,LORD! But, really? You mean E-V-E-R-Y thing I have? [well, just having 'migrated' 400 miles from Vancouver WA to Weiser ID, it would have been much simpler, and much less expensive ... hum-m-m ...].
I find that I struggle with this all the time, Patrick. The more we have and the longer we have it, the harder it is to 'let go' of it. And as we all know, it really ties one down when we are so attached to 'things'.
