Why Everyone Should Wear a Priest’s Collar
This "Disease" applies to church volunteers as well. Juggling a 40 hour a week job, family, and other responsibilities is a challenging circus act. One minute you're on fire with the Spirit, but soon the fire leaves you feeling like a tired pile of ashes. I'm not sure there is a perfect solution since I believe this cycle is part of what it means to be a Christian. You can't be on a mountain top all the time because eventually it stops feeling like a mountain top. We typically learn more in the down times anyway. I think that the most important thing is to be self aware of when ministry becomes more about "having" to do it instead of yearning to do it.
