Scattered Ministry

Some days in ministry are focused: one will spend the day tackling just one or two major tasks. Say, visitation and sermon writing. Other days may be very scattered. Here is a list of one day from my journal: I devoted bits of time to prioritising, to undertakers, the Church fête, the Church youth, diaconal matters, charity, the Church website, my Sunday sermon, our preaching programme, fraternal relations -- and various things besides. OBSERVATION: Those are the days one may feel one didn't get much done -- though every item above is fairly much core to a Church, and all of them together mean there is life.
