Martha is unhappy because it looks like Jesus is just sitting and her sister is there just at Jesus' feet doing nothing to help.

And so she tells Jesus, why isn't she helping me? And Jesus honors Mary and says she has chosen what is better.

The prompt would be, imagine that Jesus is coming to town and coming to

your home and he's coming to teach, where are you in the scene? What activity are you doing currently?

Are you Mary or Martha? Are you happy with the current activity that you're doing? What would you

prefer to be doing if not? What do you want Jesus to know? What does he want you to know?

Music doing, if not. What do you want Jesus to know? What does he want you to know? You're listening to God Hears Her, a podcast for women, where we explore the stunning

Today's guest, Anna Haggard, is a writer and an Our Daily Bread editor who's compiled the known

surgery on words. I love it.

And our manuscripts bleed.

With ink.

Yep.
