Rob,

Your challenge of how well I live out the words of Jesus reminds me of something G.K.Chesteron said....

"The Christian ideal has not been tried and found wanting; it has been found difficult and left untried".

I suspect Francis of Assisi is someone we can look to for how well 'ordinary' people can live out Jesus's teachings. I wouldn't compare myself with him.

Thanks for your kind comments.
