The top two emails in my inbox right now reveal a lot about what pastors do during the week. The top email message (in other words, the most recent) is from a member of our church and a good friend. The subject line is “Breakfast.”
The next three messages below all the have the same subject. They are from three friends, all likewise in the ministry trying to arrange a time for the four of us to meet together. The subject line there is “Lunch.”
Excuse me now, please. It is time to go home for dinner.

Hey, this reminds me. We’re coming to town this weekend - you up for coffee?
I’d love to, but I’m not sure when we can fit it in. Friday night we have plans with some people from church. Saturday is Suzanne’s birthday and we have family coming for that. Sunday I’m teaching SS and preaching in the AM and doing communion in the evening. Maybe Sunday night, but are you driving back home then?
Sorry if we can’t work it out this time. Let’s keep trying.
