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

Have you ever played the Wii juggling game? Cause that's sure how I feel when I play it... most of the time I feel like I have no control at all and I'm moving as fast as I can to just not drop one. Success is rarely reached... but that's just me.
Of course in Wii juggling you're also balancing on a ball...
yeah the unsteady footing would definately still feel the same...
Better to choose and put a ball down than have one fall because you can't keep it in the air any longer.
Ah! very wise Anonymous the 2nd. I agree. Little control is better than none.
