God, Jesus, Holy Ghost and questions

This blog is about questions I (you, we, they, whomever, whatever!) have been afraid to ask for fear of looking, sounding, actually being, or being accused of being stupid.

I want to know. I need to know. I'm big on knowing. Knowing is cool and can be life saving. Not knowing can lead to casualties. So knowing is a good thing, not knowing is a bad thing, and we-you and I-are doing away with not knowing.

But you have to know. Because your granny told ya a long time ago...nope, ain't cuttin' it. Because Dr. Phil, as lovely a man as he may be, said last week-month, year, decade-no again, not a reference. Because the goat entrails told you .... um, this is definitely not the place for you. Back up your 'know'-ing. Article? Magazine? Personal study in such and such a book--NOW we're talking.

Just so you 'know'...I will be testing for gas. The "hot air" indicator will be employed.

Ok, kids, here's the first question:
What does it really mean to "Take up your cross and follow Me"? (Luke 9:23) How does one do that, exactly?
