       It wasn’t necessarily wrong that he wanted to spend more time with his son, but he needed to pick one or the other. He tried to have both and what ended up happening is our leadership group suffered as a result. What he should have done was opt out of the leadership group at that point. So, people have to be careful when making change. You may have too much on your plate and need to drop a thing or two. We cannot do everything. We are going to have to pick what we prioritize and what we choose not do to. This is especially true for those who are married. Whether man or woman, a person can stretch themselves too thin. I think the important thing is that a person focuses on God’s call for their life—that is, their career, the work God has given them to do. And, the other thing is that they should focus on their family. But, besides those two things, everything else will have to be negotiated. A person just can’t be a participant in everything, even when others want or even beg them to. We have to protect our lives by protecting our extra time.
