Taking Time

Today is Friday, the day that I try to set aside a lot of time to spend with my family. Last week Ed Stetzer wrote a great piece on how he balances his family and ministry. He orders his priorities and sets boundaries accordingly. There is some great practical advice here for ministers. Read the entire article: “Deposits and Withdrawals.”

Make sure your priorities are God’s priorities for your life; when they are out of line, everyone suffers. These are mine:

1. My Relationship to God

2. Husband to my Wife

3. Father to my Children

4. Pastor to my Flock

5. Everything Else
