Scriptures: Mark 12:38-44, Matthew 19:16-22

Today’s stories are about release. In the first, we meet a widow who is willing to let go of much more than the single mite on which we often focus. In the second, we encounter a rich man who struggles to release his dependency on money, even though it may cost him everything. Faithful refinancing requires the practice of being released from the hold money often has on us.
