Guest Speaker, Pastor Debby Inman shares the story about Martha and Mary.  We can see how cultural expectations and internal pressures had Martha stressed out. Mary was oblivious to those pressures and challenged the cultural norms of the day to sit and learn with the men. Martha did a lot of things right and learned that spending time with Jesus was more important than the busy things that distracted her.
