An interesting topic emerged tonight in a discussion between myself, an RN, an EMT driver and a physician. All of us gathered to in one way or another support someone in a critical care situation. There was some joking going on as to who got the big bucks when you break down the number of hours really required to do the job and it made me assess what the cost is for ministers......not necessarily in dollars. When the conversation eventually (as the night wore on) got to a serious moment I found myself musing that the cost to be in an "on call" service oriented role - is not at all related to money but more a payment one makes at the price of owning your own time..... You sort of lose your own claim to time if you are "on call".... Doctors and ministers (cops, firefighters) - are never really off duty are they? What is the cost to you for fulfilling the role of minister (not that you are complaining about it - but more just noting you are aware of it.?) Or maybe it is of interest to note the toughest part of the job. I suspect it has nothing to do with others but rather with self? Von
