Simple Meals + Honest Book Reviews + Practical Living
Today we’re talking about a book that I return to again and again and again: The Ruthless Elimination of Hurry by John Mark Comer.
This book has been like a gentle whisper to my soul, especially during seasons when life feels loud, busy, and overwhelming. I first read it years ago after a recommendation from my friend Amanda, and I truly think it’s one of the best book suggestions I’ve ever received.
Before we jump into the parsha, I wanted to dedicate this week to my grandmother, “Bad Haas,” who passed away after suffering from dementia and aggressive lung cancer, on the morning of November 3rd. She was eight-five years old, and left behind two daughters, seven grandchildren, and twelve great-grandchildren (and counting). She was one tough cookie, who loved her grandchildren fiercely. All seven grandchildren gathered together from all across the country, with many children in tow, to bury her next to our grandfather. The week was nothing short of a whirlwind between the funeral, sitting shiva, and so much laughter thrown into all the grief and heartache. I’ve been thinking about this weeks parsha, and how it’s just so fitting with what we’re currently living. We love you Haasa.
Today, we’re diving into one of my favorite installments — What We Ate, What I Spent, and How I Prepped !
The weather has finally turned, and it’s peak fall here — the kind of crisp, golden air that practically begs for soup and mashed potatoes. So we’re going all in: 🍁
Theologian Milton Steinberg once said, “The believer has to account for for the existence of unjust suffering; the atheist has to account for the existence of everything else — for the world, life, consciousness, beauty, art, love, music. It would seem the believer has the upper hand.”
