Me:
Actually, the thing that was so impressive about this woman's gift is that
this money was her 'pension' from the Temple.  She couldn't live on this
money and IN FAITH returned it to the Lord and TRUSTED Him to *THEN* take
care of her.  She sewed in a time of drought. ;-)

Bro. Tyler:
Or the rich young ruler that was asked to *sell all* and give proceeds to
the poor.

Me:
Umm... The rich young ruler had told Jesus that he had followed ALL the
commandments since his youth.  Jesus then reminded him of one:

Deuteronomy 6:5
And thou shalt love the LORD thy God with all thine heart, and with all thy
soul, and with all thy might.
