Sometimes, we can add incrementally to something in our life and not really worry that there is a limit or endpoint: for example, taking a walk around the neighborhood and noticing that you're covering more ground in less time. Other times, however, we are dealing with a "hard limit" like the number of hours we have available to us during the day. This is like having a pie and cutting it into specific sized pieces - if you want one person to get a little more, one or more people get necessarily a little less; this is called zero-sum. This is very true, but often very hidden from us, when it comes to mental energy or emotional resources. We find more and more calls upon our energy/resources until we don't realize we've hit 100% and we've got nothing left to give. Don't hit this wall, and don't delude yourself that you can take on "just that one more thing".

Dear All,
I had a stroke on 11/5 and spent a week in the hospital. I am doing well, but will need surgery in the coming weeks; please continue to pray for me.
Thanks,
-John.
We're going to a local zoo tomorrow - haven't been there in a LONG time. I'm looking forward to it, I find it peaceful. If you have a nearby zoo, consider visiting it soon if you haven't been there in a while. :-)

The epic tale of "The Boy Who Cried Wolf" has a moral to the story: at the end, after crying "wolf!" falsely and laughing at the woodsmen who comes to "save him", the wolf really does appear and now the woodsmen don't respond to his cries for help. We are seeing that in today's society: these hyperventilating, mouth-frothing, extremists have been screaming that it's "the end of democracy" or "everyone's a racist, bigot, -phobe, (insert whatever here)", or "the climate is going to implode in 12 years" are in for a rude awakening. The wolf is November 8th.
