fruitfullness

Interesting fact in regards to ministry and "work/life" balance:

When I wasn't working regularly, I volunteered much of my time to ministry, giving whatever I could to my church. Nothing wrong there, but what I have seen over the last eight months is this- I am more fruitful in ministry when I am fruitful in my work life.

Though I have less time to give, I understand now how valuable my time is, and give it with a sense of import.

Hard Times

As deeply in love as Jacob and Carolyn are with each other, they live far apart, and haven't seen each other in a month. To make matters worse, they won't see each other for another month.

The upside? When they are re-united geographically, it will be for over a month, and when that time is up there will be only six weeks until they are together with marital finality.

So join me in praying for these two love-birds as they try to stay sane as they miss each other.
