He cooked. He studied and learned and grew in wisdom. Jesus cared for himself physically, mentally and spiritually. To be aligned with him, we must do no less."

But when you humble yourself and give your will back to him, your life will be nothing short of miraculous."

It happens during times of prolonged stress. It happens in the throes of depression. It happens when the brain gets pounded with negativity. And sometimes we just don't know why the wires in our brains get crossed."

"A journey through nature is always a road that leads to self-discovery."
