Hello

Welcome to A Beggar's Blog, I am inspired by St. Francis of Assisi who originally set out with these verses as his rule.

"If you would be perfect, go, sell what you possess and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven; and come, follow me." Matthew 19:21

"Take nothing for your journey, no staff, nor bag, nor bread, nor money; and do not have two tunics. And whatever house you enter, stay there, and from there depart. And wherever they do not receive you, when you leave that town shake off the dust from your feet as a testimony against them." Luke 9:3-5

"If anyone would come after me, let him deny himself and take up his cross and follow me. For whoever would save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life for my sake will find it. For what will it profit a man if he gains the whole world and forfeits his life? Or what shall a man give in return for his life?" Matthew 16:24-26

I want to follow Jesus by giving up my possessions so that I may spend my time with Him and learn to love Him more and more. I hope you will come with me on this journey.
