We are never too young (or to old for that matter) to do what God calls us to do. It is never too early or too late to join in God's dream for all people and all creation.

These certainly don't sound like blessings to most of us. In what universe are poverty of spirit, meekness, and mourning called blessings? Apparently in Jesus' universe.

What does it mean to love Jesus "more than these"? Who is he referring to as "these" anyway? Does loving Jesus marginalize all the other loves in our lives?
