Unfortunately, it comes with consequences that are sometimes welcome, and other times make you want to just...just...change all the drapes in the church without the Board of Trustees' permission - ok, so its not that extreme - but you get the point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-37531464395235985842006-12-31T07:33:00.000-06:002006-12-31T07:33:00.000-06:00Thank you, Beth.Thank you, Beth.Andy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/05944614269873479581noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-28591836614780643722006-12-30T16:01:00.000-06:002006-12-30T16:01:00.000-06:00Andy - I enjoyed your previous post and this one t...Andy - I enjoyed your previous post and this one too. I think we all feel what you were feeling from time to time - sometimes more often then we'd like. It is frustrating to put so much energy into things you think are important, only to have people worry at you about things that you don't think matter much one way or the other. I think it is very important to remember the core, the foundation of our call then. And we're all entitled to want to pull our hair out sometimes too.Beth Quickhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14171030571583683180noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-14013729254137638032006-12-30T12:49:00.000-06:002006-12-30T12:49:00.000-06:00You must have way too much time on your hands to t...You must have way too much time on your hands to think this deep and write that much. You need to attend more church meetings or get a second job to fill your time or SOMETHING! :-)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10217302.post-33627778704268873052006-12-30T12:14:00.000-06:002006-12-30T12:14:00.000-06:00hey man, nice post. in retrospect, i feel i came ...hey man, nice post. in retrospect, i feel i came off as a bit of a jerk. it would've been much less you-know-what-holeish in person. but hey, if it got you thinking then it wasn't all bad.<br /><br />i think the just of what you're getting at is, sometimes in "full time ministry" you can get bogged down in all the "details" or "grunt work" that you can lose sight of what's most important. i still stick with those things you listed probably will always have to take place. unless, you wanna go and venture new ways to "do church" which i would applaud!<br /><br />example: do i spend more time planning the "talk" on Sunday night than i do in meetings that may or may not be relevant to anything in "my" particular ministry? another example: am i putting out fires with this or that group more than i'm spending time with youth? what's more important? i'd say the latter, but if i don't also do the former i won't last long.<br /><br />ok, i'm gonna stop with the hugest comment ever, but i totally feel ya on this one, even if it didn't look like it from my first post. to sum it up in a word: balance!Adamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07874012298542994380noreply@blogger.com
