Today is one of THOSE days. You know what I'm talking about? One of those days where you'd use a lifeline and a your last wish with the genie for a clone and a few more hours in the day. People email and call and ask me all of the time how I balance grad school, church planting, blogging, marriage, and parenting three kids and here's my short answer…I don't. It's tough.
Sometimes its stressful. Sometimes I oversleep (this morning), sometimes I don't pack my pregnant wife the right lunch (this morning), sometimes I forget to do an assignment due in less than hour (this morning), sometimes I forget that I have to do my rounds at Emory Hospital (this afternoon), sometimes I forget that I have to pick up the kids (this afternoon) and get ready for the PTA meeting (this evening).
When it's one of THOSE (these) days, I take a deep breath, say a (very) quick prayer, and go do what I have to do. It'll be over before I know it.

I got tired for you just reading this. Wait tell you add “Pastor” duties each weekend to that mix. I get tired sometime on weekends and I’m not even the one preaching. Marc basicaly just passes out.
