    > I work a lot of overtime in a high-stress, tight deadline job. Once you get into that kind of downward spiral, how do you find another job?

    That's an obvious one: you quit this job before looking for a new one.

    > I'd quit if I had a choice, but I really need the money

    I wonder what you do with all the overtime pay? Sometimes a good career has to be organised, and this starts with having some money in the bank for situations like this.
    Proper planing can also reduce the level of stress you are experiencing...

    I agree with your post. Plainly off-topic, but I could not resist your .sig!

    Could Jesus microwave a burrito so hot that he himself could not eat it?

    Of couse He could. Being both fully man and fully God he knew both sides of perfection and imperfection. Now we all know He was without sin; so if you think overheating a burrito is a sin, the answer is no; but then there's no accounting for taste. :)

    The proper formulation of the question is "Could God ... ?" exercise such power if He so desired. This is the power of the Trinity. It separates the spiritual world from the material and addresses the question of the spiritual in the material.

    This is all really well described in the first chapter of the Gospel of John.
