It is crucially important in ministry to remember that time is not measured, so to speak, in hours. Much of the work of ministry is energy intensive. If one fails to keep that in mind, one can burn out, as many ministers do. OBSERVATION: As just one example, I have been in high demand for counselling -- yet I found that more than three "serious" sessions a week was too much. Sometimes, after particularly demanding or draining work, I knocked off for the day, to start again the next day. This does not mean, however, that I did less than a full day's work. Like most ministers, I paused in an already fuller than full programme.
