This article draws a great analogy from firefighting to pastoral ministry, which I think applies to all Christian ministry.

Quotes

• You think you want a rushed firefighter, he said. But only rookie firefighters do that. The experienced firefighters know that hurry puts lives at risk. Hurry gets in the way of saving lives. A frantic firefighter is not a good firefighter.

• Bill gates calls busy the new stupid, and s right. Hurry robs us of our ability to love God and others and to think clearly. It makes us irritable. Hurry is the enemy of our souls.
