One of the biggest questions I get asked almost daily is…"How in the world do you do so many different things?"
I'm married. I have a 2 year old, a 6 year old, and a 9 year old. My wife is having baby #4 on Friday (Yipee!). I am a full time grad student @ Emory University. I am the Lead Pastor @ a brand new church. I blog (and Twitter and Facebook and YouTube and…). Somewhere I make time to be a UFC fanantic, a big follower of current affairs and world issues, make a few media appearances, go grocery shopping, do a few chores around the house, and sleep a few hours a day. Over the next few days I am sharing some secrets on how I do all of these things. I can tell you this now – it's not what you think!
Secret #1 is coming later this afternoon. I have to brush my teeth, get dressed, give my son a high five, and fly like a bat out of hell to school for my 9:30am Old Testament class. Stay tuned!

So, I read a lot. The Bible, people claiming to be scholars and students of its teaching, and in the past year or so I would say I have read considerably more about body wellness and being stewards of what God has given us. It is one of the reasons I was led to lead a healthier lifestyle. With all the studies that are out about stress, and heart disease and illness shown to be up in people who do not get 7 hours of sleep a night, I would like to know how you feel juggling so much. Do you feel that is what God has called you to, or is there a tugging somewhere to delegate some of those responsibilities and let God do the work as far as promotion and getting your work out there. I find this interesting to note about many people, especially those in the American go-go-go culture. :)
