I was just reading a note from a successful preacher, speaker, writer, etc. who was talking about his schedule and his family and how he makes them fit together. Most of it was normal, expected stuff. But one small note he included really caught my attention.
When he started talking about his hobbies, he said he really didn't have many. He mentioned how a lot of men in his sphere of influence (i.e. job, salary range, family status, etc.), as well as his personal friends, love to play golf. He said that although he enjoys the sport and finds it relaxing - he never plays unless he takes one of his kids or wife with him.
He went on to talk about how busy he was, how much he traveled and how often he was already away from them. He simply said, "why would I want to be away from them anymore than I already am?" Now sometimes it's good for a break and to unwind. But for him, his family was just too important. It is simply more important for him to spend any extra time he has time with his wife and his kids than his pitching wedge. Now he's got his priorities straight.
