We all know, implicitly, that spending an hour in church once a week is not the kind of followership that Jesus was describing. But neither is leaving it all behind us and throwing ourselves onto the mercies of this world's population a way for the average Joe or Josephine to serve the Lord, at least this week, where I live.

As I have aged, I have become aware that more things in my life are becoming millstones around my neck. They slow me down spiritually. And any activity that doesn't have some sort of service connected with it is less desirable to me than one that does. I cannot put my finger on the motivation; my earnest desire is that it is that I am finally channeling energy into the direction Jesus talks of.
