Guarding Your Time / 21 Blocks (HT: IX Marks)

IX Marks linked to a great (and short!) DesiringGod article that is directed at church leadership, but relevant for everyone:

How Can Pastors Guard Their Time with Their Families

Listen to just a snipppet of Pastor Piper’s wisdom on this important topic:

“A pastor needs to work with his leadership, either lay leadership or other pastors, to come up with some kind of plan like we did, so that you all have common expectations. You don’t want to feel guilty when somebody sees you out cutting your grass on Thursday afternoon at three o’clock or sees you at your kid’s soccer game at two and says, “Oh, I thought you worked.” Well you probably did work 60 or 70 hours that week, but you’re going to be at your kid’s soccer game.”

Amen!

This “21 blocks of time” idea makes so much sense! Hope you enjoy.

(And maybe we can chat about this, darling Fred? 😉 )
