I've always had a great deal of respect for Randy Alcorn, his latest email/prayer request hit the nail right on the head:

I need to guard my schedule to carve out more time for reading, reflection and writing. I would appreciate your prayers for me that I would be both refreshed and productive, that the reservoir of my life would be filled, as Mary’s was while sitting at the feet of Jesus. I love what Jesus said: “Only one thing is necessary—Mary has chosen the better portion.” We all have many things to do, but it all starts with one thing: being and living in the presence of Jesus.
