Simple Man

i had a meeting for pastoral candidacy recently...they loved me, i made them laugh, they said i had a great head on my shoulders for ministry...but what stresses me time, when we hit that subject i became a candidate for 'burn out' then they used those words 'burn out' 8 more times throughout the meeting...

and i knew it...this was no shock to me, i'd been thinking the same...been feeling like a juggler with so many balls up in the air...schoolwork, work, relationship, friends, me time...constantly juggling the balls watching them in the air criss-crossing...u watch the balls that are important, but u'll know that by watching one ball more closely u lose sight of another...

like all good jugglers they just keep throwing extra balls up, but not for long can they keep them all up, and for me as i watch the balls i know i have to juggle less so i can better control the ones i'm throwing...and the question is do i simply put one ball to the side (and 'control' the decision) or do i juggle until i drop one, which one unclear...

for now they're all up in the air...and i've never been a good juggler
