What are my priorities? Where does my time go, and more particularly, where should it go? I have so much that I do... so much independant stuff that I do. Am I first a student? A Youth Minister? A Watchdawg? A Friend? A Son? A Disciple?

I wonder if everyone has the same indecision about what they should be first. I wonder if everyone, when doing one thing, always finds it the most important. Or do they choose what is the most fun? Or what will help them the most? What will help others the most? Sometimes it seems that the most important jobs are the easiest ones. And that the ones that are truly time consuming are the ones that are trivial.
But if it's trivial, then why do I put such effort into it?

Can I compare my duties as a friend to those of a student? Can I honestly put being a son and being a Youth Minister in the same catagory? They're both jobs, I guess. I have responsibilities as both.... but somehow they seem slightly different. More than that, they seem radically different.

I guess it's really no contest. If there were a choice to be made, I would choose family above the rest without a thought.
I suppose that's just the nature of the beast.
