Taking Stock

As I sat on the sofa today, I wondered how it would all work. Fitting everything in is not that hard - you simply reduce the job to fit the time available - but that does not sound like Jesus' promise of fulness of life. It is not so much time management I need as time explosion - that marvelous gift of making the most of every opportunity. Let me see - school: new timetable, new courses, new pupils every one rightly hoping for the best teaching (and some of the same old challenges); home: five of the best to love in every way and a house to keep; church: men's ministry with new visions and new opportunities; ordination training: evenings, weekends, residential week, essays and, most importantly, getting ready for ministry; and, of course, family, friends, godchildren and many more. This said, I strongly sensed at New Wine that God has different priorities to me - but maybe more of that another time.
