I don't even walk to the mailbox without my hair curled. I have my standards!

I never walk to the mailbox...I stop the car and tell one of the kids jump out and get the mail. That's my standard.

Seriously though, hopefully you have some standards of your own concerning your appearance.
See the little guy running back and forth, in my sig line? What's he wearing?

see, the problem is, that's God's job. Read his Word and pray about it. We are only his friends if we do what he commands!

It's God's job to decide what it means to "give up all"?

Yes! read his point! He wanted definition and application... Yes it is his JOB to lead us. How can I say how for you to give up all! I don't know you and even if I did it's not my job. Giving up all is a clear definition to me. ALL is ALL. He wanted more. How to go about that is to be led by the Spirit and study his Word. Being led by the Spirit is the application IMO! No hindrance to the Spirit is ALL!
