Juggling
When I was a teenager I learned to juggle basketballs. The key to juggling is not focusing too much on one ball. You've got to split your focus three ways.
I feel like I've been juggling this week.
One ball is the coffeehouse. We're getting ready for our ground breaking on Sunday. A second ball is our staff retreat. I've been processing our surveys all week. A third ball is sermon prep. A fourth ball is the meetings that are part of every week. And a fifth ball has been staffing strategy. I'm trying to get a handle on what our staff needs to look like. A sixth ball is our 2005 budget. We're beginning to plan for next year. A seventh ball has been an online course on contemporary issues that I'm teaching for Regent University.
That's a lot of juggling! Sometimes it's tiring, but I wouldn't want it every other way. I love the different hats I get to wear.
This is one of those weeks where I feel like I've given it everything I've got. I'm tired, but I feel great about it.
Out.
