Rest Is Holy, Not a Reward for the Productive Taking breaks necessitates a change of pace β€” and a laying down of self importance.

"So often we put off rest because we are convinced that our work β€” our jobs, our families, or even our service for others β€” requires our constant attention. Rest necessitates a change of pace and a laying down of self-importance." (2021)

I’m grateful that we can afford this medicine this time; I know there are plenty of folks who can’t. But I don’t understand how one of the most affluent nations in the world can’t figure out how to take care of its people.

How broken is healthcare?
This 1 pill cost $100 because…
1) the pharmacy that our insurance covers didn’t have the medicine in stock so we had to go to a different one
2) the cost was going to be $160, but our pediatrician gave us a coupon for $60 off

The more I study the gospel, the more I'm baffled at how we could see this foot washing, health restoring, sword disarming, patient listening, kind teaching, cross bearing Jesus and then somehow arrive at the conclusion that he is calling us to impose our worldview on others.

Do what you can do, beloved. You don’t have to hustle for worth - you have intrinsic value just because you are.
