I've not been able to get the hang of delegating. I finally, this year, gave it a try and guess what? Two of the three events that I delegated out were a complete disaster. Its just so much easier to do it myself, ya know? We pastor a very small country church so our resources (of all kinds) are drastically limited but sometimes I get so tired of "filling in the gap".

It's not easy and being a PW is even tougher. It seems as if people just assume that if you are a PW and a SAHM that you have all the time in the world to fill in when they don't show up! UGH! I sure am glad to know I am not the only one that deals with kind of stuff too!Melissahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17200671287941609083noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-71632119892904436042007-12-06T11:44:00.000-05:002007-12-06T11:44:00.000-05:00Well although I'm not happy for you that you have ...Well although I'm not happy for you that you have to go through that, it's comforting to know we are not alone...I think every pastor faces this and it's so frustrating. Just this week I read a statistic that said that on average your 'committed' church attender now misses 10-12 Sundays a year. Um, that's three months worth if they are missing 12. How in the world are we supposed to work with this? Somebody please clue me in. I'm sorry but if I wasn't a pastor - I WOULD NOT live that way. I hate it when people say, "if you weren't in ministry you'd probably do the same thing." NOT!Dr. Deanna DossShrodeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06651422170585497480noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34244281.post-74553059572728132242007-12-06T08:45:00.000-05:002007-12-06T08:45:00.000-05:00Preachin' to the choir, sister!!

Having co-run a community theatre company (community theatre = UNPAID help = flaky people!) and lived and learned, my husband and I make it a policy to never plan any kind of even that the two of us alone couldn't pull off if it came to that. We've pulled off some pretty extraordinary events this way, but AARGH!! It is frustrating...Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
