One more victory for The Rest. This situation made me slow down, and think about what I do (eat or not eat) and why. I chose to cheat out of love!
My January Rest 01.16.19
I’ve been consumed with the affairs of my father, and that has left little time for reflection. That is what The Rest is about: stealing minutes, carving out time, focusing on who and what matters most.

Jesus: Human. Divine!
I wonder how many of us think about Jesus as that cute little babe we see in nativity sets? When I had a baby, can I tell you that every—little—thing she did was adorable!? If you had a baby or love babies, you know what I am talking about. They are so cute!
