The chicken and the pig were talking in the back lot one day. The chicken said, “We have a great life here.” The pig responded, “Yes, it’s nice.’ The Chicken: “Our farmer takes great care of us. He feeds us & gives us a great place to live.” The Pig: “Yes, it is all really good.” The Chicken: “I would like to do something great for him.” The Pig: “That sounds amazing what should we do.” The Chicken: “I know Let’s give him a ham and egg breakfast in the morning.” The Pigs mouth drops open: and you can hear a pin drop---.

In Matthew chapter sixteen verse twenty-four, Jesus says, “If anyone would come after Me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow Me.” Taking up your cross is an action that must occur minute by minute.
