…and then it all piles up at once and gets really busy.

Help friends move?

Absolutely, I’d love to.

Substitute worship lead while the worship pastor’s gone?

Wouldn’t miss it.

Lead the Tuesday morning Bible study while the senior pastor’s on sabbatical this summer?

You bet! Let’s keep the group going!

Lead kids' music for our church backyard bible club for 4 nights?

Well, sure.

And then from Saturday morning through Tuesday morning, all of them converge within 72 hours.

I’m not complaining, but I am taking Monday and Tuesday as vacation days at work. I plan to collapse in a state of blessed exhaustion.
