Digging Deep

I have noticed over the last several weeks an increase in the administrative work for the church. It's tempting to get my time out of balance because of it. I limit myself to 50 hours a week of working for SRC. I have worked much more in the past for church, but over the last several years I've realized that working too much is costly. It actually costs the church more than it gets back. And family is a major factor as well. Because one of these days it will only be me and my family, so I want to make sure that when I get there it will be me and my family. At Christmas time I outlined what my hours would be like for this year so that my wife could know exactly what to count on.

I think this all sounds like a very manageable proposition, but weeks like this really put that to the test. There are only about three areas that only I can do for SRC. These are the areas that I should put the majority of my focus. But there are a number of things that only I am doing for SRC that take away from the most important things I should be doing. I guess it's just the stage of the church we're in. So during this time, I am working hard to manage my time the best I can to accomplish the most I can.
