Who's First?

When one of his Disciples asked Jesus to let him go bury his dead father first before following him, Jesus rather succinctly and curtly (some might say, "insensitively") answered, :"Follow me, and let the dead bury their dead." (Mt 8:22). This "harsh" response, however, points out the need to put Jesus FIRST in our thinking and acting, something that becomes more difficult in our comfort-seeking, "me first" society.  Not  ME FIRST, but JESUS FIRST, no matter what the sacrifice. We tend to find excuses for choosing something like browsing the internet longer than intended instead of attending to our daily prayer or taking time to go through our accumulating belongings and discarding what we haven't used or don't need any longer, lest they eventually stand between us and Jesus or our family and friends. We need to take small steps in the direction of Jesus each day if we hope to put him in first place.. What can I do today to make this happen?
