Three recruiters were to address high school seniors. Each
recruiter represented a branch of the military (the Army, Navy &
Marine Corps) & was to have fifteen minutes.
The Army & Navy recruiters got carried away, so when it came time for the Marine to speak, he had just two minutes.
He walked up & stood utterly silent for a full sixty
seconds, half of his time. Then he said, “I doubt whether there are two
or three of you in this room who would even stand a chance in the Marine
Corps. But I want to see those two or three immediately in the dining
hall when we are dismissed.” He turned smartly & sat down.
When he arrived in the dining hall, there was a crowd of students interested in the Marines.
The recruiter knew that commitment cannot take place without recognizing the potential for difficulty.

disciple who does not (carefully consider the cost and then for my sake)
give up all his own possessions.” (Luke 14:33 AMP)
