These include: I’m not fat, I’m filled out Yes, you can have a sandwich without Miracle Whip Dignity—it’s your right Gotta have in-laws so we can have country music It’s a bad habit, but it’s mine Did I matter? Each reading consists of a quotation, a Scripture reading, the meditation itself, and a closing prayer, all written in a style that is conversational, humorous, and appealing. “Cynthia Bond Hopson’s newest book is vital devotional reading to anyone who is doing more than one thing at a time. She candidly writes about her multitasking life and invites us along for an inspiring journey. She will make you laugh, cry, and think.” -Sheron C.
