11.12The Dead-Line Driven Life
Adrenalin? Stupidity? Laziness? Faithlessness? Procrastination? I’m not sure what it is, but I work best when I seriously push deadlines. Like seriously. It’s definitely one of my super-powers. While it is a good skill, I’m keen to move away from having to draw on this super-power of mine all the time! It’s important: for the sake of my family, for others who rely on me; and for godly discipline.
Got any crazy dead-lines stories?
One warm fuzzy for the location of this fireworks shot from the weekend…
I find it absolutely amazing how many people in ministry are like this. Why is it? Why is it that our discipline is awry in this area? Is it becasue we spend more time with people than with tasks? Is it that we are lazy without an immediate ‘boss’ over our shoulder?
Good on you for seeing the need for that discipline

hey steve,
i think part of it is that there are lots of things to do and maybe we do too much??
are you a ‘dead-line driven lifer’?

I’m totally the same.
But I’ve been working harder at discipline this year. I have 2 sermon outlines written for 2 talks that are over a month away – I’ve never done that before! I hope they’re good though – there is a certain life that comes to a sermon the night before…
