From Jordan Rubin today:

Take Stock of How You're Feeling

"Are you too caught up in the details of your health plan to know whether it's actually working? Take a step back. Instead of worrying over every bite you take, ask yourself how you feel today, inside and out. Sometimes, taking a look at the whole picture can help you appreciate how far you've come and what's truly important. Consider this story from the book of Luke:

As Jesus and his disciples continued on their way to Jerusalem, they came to a village where a woman named Martha welcomed them into her home. Her sister, Mary, sat at the Lord's feet, listening to what he taught. But Martha was worrying over the big dinner she was preparing. She came to Jesus and said, "Lord, doesn't it seem unfair to you that my sister sits here while I do all the work? Tell her to come and help me."

But the Lord said to her, "My dear Martha, you are so upset over all these details! There is really only one thing worth being concerned about. Mary has discovered it — and I won't take it away from her." (Luke 10:38-42 NLT) "

Amen, JR. Amen.
